Frequently asked questions

• Do I need to reapply for a vacation placement after completing the work experience programme?

  Yes, participation in our work experience programme does not automatically place you into the recruitment process for our vacation placement programmes. If you are interested in pursuing a training contract with Pinsent Masons, you will need to submit a new application for our summer vacation placement or winter vacation placement programmes once you become eligible. Participants who perform well during the programme may be encouraged to apply, but all applications will be assessed through our standard recruitment process.

• Can I request an internship in June or July instead?

  Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate requests for work experience in June or July. Our work experience programme is offered exclusively in August, and you must be fully available during the programme dates to be considered.

• Is the work experience programme paid?

  Yes, work experience students are paid HKD 2,500 per week. Salaries are reviewed annually.

• Do you sponsor any visas?

  Unfortunately, we do not sponsor any visas for our work experience programmes. You must have the right to work in Hong Kong to be eligible for the programmes.
