CRCC Asia’s Legal Employability Add-On will connect you with one of The Student Lawyer’s qualified lawyers, who will teach you to identify the transferable skills that legal employers are looking for, how to develop them during your internship program, and how to demonstrate them in future training contract and pupillage applications.

- With an increase in Foreign Direct Investment into China, there is a big business in helping foreign companies overcome legal difficulties when entering China, making it the perfect city to undertake an International Legal Internship.
- Vietnam has a legal system based on the Civil Law System which reflects a European-Style civil law code. This is an example of the European influence that is incorporated in Vietnam law.
- Beijing is the capital city and legal center of China, where most business and regulatory cases are handled. Most large law firms in China have offices in all the major cities, including Shanghai and Shenzhen.
- Intellectual property fraud is rife. With thousands of Western brands looking toward China, this is a major barrier they face.
- Compared to the US, Japan has fewer lawyers per person, but this is because they are joined by a large number of administrators that help them. These administrators range from judicial scriveners to civil law notaries.
- Vietnam’s legal progress can be seen today in its renovated governmental institutions and many new reformed laws that continue to develop, responding to the needs of a modern Vietnam and their relationship with enthusiastic foreign investors.
