    Legal Career in China

    
    

    The legal systems at home and abroad are very different. If you only master overseas legal knowledge, what career options are available to you when you return to China? If you have both domestic and overseas legal knowledge, what platform can best demonstrate your advantages?

    We invite Wayne Wang to share his experience and give advice on:

    • Life as an international commercial lawyer
    • Career planning for Chinese background Australian law school graduates
    • How to survive and thrive in a top tier corporate law firm
