Baker & McKenzie Beijing Office 2018-2019 Internship

Baker & McKenzie Beijing office runs internship programmes all year round.

The internship programme is a comprehensive 8 to 12 weeks programme and aims to give students the opportunity of experiencing first hand what it is like to work at the firm. In addition to getting to know the firm's culture and people, interns will participate in the training programmes available to trainees and junior lawyers, and be exposed to the type of work typically undertaken by them.

The internship programme is the main pathway into securing a permanent job opportunity with the firm, as interns who perform well during the programme will be selected to join our Beijing/Shanghai offices as entry level staff after they have completed their legal studies. Participation is therefore strongly recommended for those seeking a 2019 job opportunity.
