1. Entering a foreign-related law firm: Working or working part-time in a foreign-related law firm is the most effective shortcut. You can go to the domestic branch of a foreign law firm as a legal adviser, or you can go to a domestic law firm that operates in the mode of a foreign law firm.
The former has a large number in China, while the latter is mostly set up by talents who have studied abroad or worked in foreign law firms, with fixed multinational customers. After two or three years of hard work, you can generally make small achievements by entering these two types of law firms, directly contacting foreign-related legal work and accumulating practical experience.
2. Apply for the Legal Department of a foreign company: Large multinational companies will set up legal departments and hire legal consultants to handle legal affairs encountered by the company in domestic investment activities. As a company lawyer, I also have the opportunity to fully understand the operation mode of the enterprise, which is a unique way to accumulate experience.
3. International certificate: Various kinds of vocational training emerge one after another, but the training of foreign lawyers is almost blank. To be familiar with foreign laws, it is a good choice to obtain international certificates, such as American lawyer's practice certificate and British lawyer's practice certificate.
There is a great demand for excellent foreign lawyers. Foreign lawyers should not only know the law, but also be proficient in English, which makes the shortage of foreign lawyers even worse. The career development direction is to be a professional foreign lawyer or corporate legal adviser.
