Asia![]() The largest and most populous continent, Asia houses a rapidly growing and increasingly complex economy. With so many languages, cultures, mythologies, literatures, religions, art forms and political histories, Asia is an endlessly fascinating destination for the culturally curious. Legal MarketAs a huge economic centre, Asia – especially Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Singapore – offer a lot of complex and challenging legal work. Banking and finance are important here, as well as capital markets, corporate, project finance, energy and dispute resolution.RemunerationCompensation packages are very generous, so lawyers can afford to live centrally and explore the extraordinary world at their doorstep.VisasPlease note that this is a brief overview and should not be relied upon as legal advice. Though overseas are welcomed, you will require your employer’s sponsorship before you start work. Requirements vary from country to country and you will need to speak with the relevant authorities to obtain the latest visa information.Re-qualificationRequirements vary depending on the jurisdiction. For example, in Hong Kong, you must have at least 2 years post-admission experience and pass the Overseas Lawyers’ Qualification Examination (OLQE).LifestyleWithin city limits, the possibilities for eating, drinking and having fun abound. Asian cities offer many of the cultural pastimes found in the West including galleries, shopping, art, music, nightclubs etc., but with a delightfully different feel and look. Out of the major cities, there is a whole other world of experience to discover.Useful Links |
