Join the 10-Week 1:1 BigLaw Academy
I went from being a first-year law student from Hong Kong with poor grades and no connections in the legal industry, to being a dual US/UK qualified lawyer working at one of biggest international law firms in the City of London.
This 10-week program aims to equip international aspiring lawyers with all the soft and hard skills necessary to secure a BigLaw offer in leading jurisdictions like the UK. I make it a mission to help those who sign up for this course to get their dream job and live abroad, which can completely change their life. (*Application is required, as places are limited and I don’t take everyone on board).

Course Outline
1. Build an International & Diverse CV from Day 1
The best candidate starts early. For law students, I will teach you how you can open up more doors for your legal career.
2. Identify Your Unique Selling Points (USPs)
Most candiates have at least one or two impressive experience(s), but you just don’t know how to sell yourself on paper and turn it into ”a wow factor”.
3. My Unique Firm Selection & Research Strategy
The BEST strategy to identify the best law firm(s) to apply to — this increased my chance of success by 30 percent.
4. Write a Killer Cover Letter
Stop sending mass-produced letters to every single firm. I will teach you the best way to tailor your cover letter to your dream firms.
5. Understand Law Firms as A Business
Everything you need to know about law firm strategies and commercial awareness I learned from Cambridge University.
6. Tailor Your Application
Recruiters at a big law firm have to read 1,000-2,000 applications, how can you stand out from the crowd?
7. Dissecting the Assessment Process
How to nail online tests, competency-based interviews, group exercise, partner/associate interviews? I have good techniques for each of these.
8. Mock Interviews
Your actual interview shouldn’t be the first time you hear your voice answering the question. My systematic method of interview preparation.
9. Mapping Out Your Future Legal Career
Take the New York Bar to get an additional qualification? A future career at in-house? Relocation to other leading jurisdictions (e.g. Singapore, Dubai, HK)?
