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 Kong
Recruitment practices (for Vacation Programmes / Mini pupillages 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 will
interview 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).
