    Qualifying as a Solicitor or Barrister in Hong Kong

    Remarks

    For more information, please visit the website of the Hong Kong Conversion Examination Board (www.pcea.com.hk)

    Please contact the PCLL providers (City University of Hong Kong, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, and The University

    of Hong Kong) to determine if a specific course is sufficient for the purposes of admission to the PCLL programme.

    Candidates possessing Chinese language skills will clearly be an advantage in securing work in Hong Kong.

    Recruitment Timetable for Vacation Work &

    Pupillages / Training Contracts in Hong KongRecruitment practices (for Vacation Programmes / Minipupillages and Training Contracts / Pupillages)

    vary from employer to employer. Generally applications should be made earlier rather than later: for

    Vacation Work - several months in advance; for Pupillage, about 1 to 2 years beforehand. Training

    Contracts with large law firms should be sought over 2 years in advance of your desired start date, while

    the Department of Justice normally conducts its legal trainee recruitment shortly after the

    commencement of the PCLL year.

    SOLICITORS FIRMS BARRISTERS CHAMBERS

    This timetable is provided by way of guidance only. No liability is accepted for reliance on the information

    provided below. Most law firms have one intake of Trainee Solicitors each year (in Aug/Sep) and willinterview all their vacation students (and others) for Training Contracts. Therefore when to apply for a

    vacation placement depends on when you will join as a Trainee Solicitor.

    Remarks

    * Please visit the website of: The Law Society of Hong Kong, City University of Hong Kong, The University of Hong Kong and the

    Chinese University of Hong Kong to ensure the new entry requirements for the PCLL courses can be satisfied (particularly for the

    overseas law students).
