I'm a final law student from Poland and really i was eager to understand the Chinese law system, is it similar to Korea? or different so i started my journey with Go Abroad China, sending my application from the same platform where i am reviewing now. i was placed in a Chinese law firm specializing in international trade and IP law honestly that's exactly what i needed (i tried understanding whole law system of China so this was also good) . i assisted my co-workers with contract reviews, trademark filings and also had the opportunity of setting in client consultations. my colleague (actually new ones) took time to explain to me how the system is different here from Europe and it was eye opening. GAC handled A-Z as promised and greatly appreciated & highly recommended for any law student. considering international practice.

As a law student aiming for an international career, this internship in Shanghai was invaluable. I was placed at a well-regarded firm specializing in cross-border commercial law. My days were filled with substantive work: assisting with legal research for overseas clients, drafting sections of memoranda, and sitting in on client consultations. The attorneys took mentorship seriously and were always willing to explain the nuances of Chinese legal frameworks. GAC's support was seamless—they navigated the complex visa process for me and found a convenient apartment in the city. Beyond the office, living in Shanghai was exhilarating.

Interning at an international law firm in Shanghai provided an unparalleled look into the complexities of cross-border commercial law. I was assigned to assist with real case research, drafting legal memoranda for foreign clients, and sitting in on client consultations, which offered a practical understanding of Chinese legal frameworks. The mentorship from seasoned attorneys was invaluable. Go Abroad China facilitated the entire process, from the complex legal internship visa to arranging professional housing.

I gained experience in the areas of law in which I want to practice!

I applied for a legal internship with Go Abroad China last year because I'd decided to focus on Chinese law, specifically in relation to foreign direct investment and contract law. GAC found the right firm for me. The company specialized in international law and trade law which was a perfect chance for me to get involved in the areas of Chinese law I'm interested in. It was great being an intern there and I gained experience in commercial law and how contracts differ from country to country. I also got a realistic look at case management, legal research and even financial regulations. The entire experience was an eye-opener and I have come away with a well-rounded, global resume that I can present with a strong sense of pride. 

Thank you, Go Abroad China, for showing me all that I can look forward to, professionally and personally.
