How did this start? Campus Ambassador programmes are common among leading law firms in the United Kingdom. However, in Hong Kong we still seem to be the only law firm (to the best of our knowledge), that runs such a programme, and we are going into the fourth consecutive year now, after having established the programme in the summer of 2021.

​​

Can I join the firm in other roles? One of our first Campus Ambassadors was Kelly Leung, who was studying for the PCLL at the University of Hong Kong at the time, after having completed her LLB at the University of Birmingham. She then joined us on a training contract, which she just completed, and will soon get admitted to the High Court, and we are happy to retain her as our new Associate Solicitor. While these paths are open to our Campus Ambassadors, there is no requirement to join us beyond the programme.

​

And while most of our Campus Ambassadors join us as interns, they also develop their skills and employability during the programme in such ways that they secure vacation scheme and training contract offers with various other international law firms.

​

Interested to apply? We are looking for students from all universities and any disciplines to represent Ravenscroft & Schmierer on your campus. You possess excellent communication skills (or a willingness to learn these skills), are proactive and confident in using social media (primarily LinkedIn) and enjoy growing your knowledge and network in the legal field.

​

​Can I learn directly from the lawyers? We have an experienced team of lawyers, qualified in various jurisdictions, such as Hong Kong, England and Wales, Germany and the US. We serve some of the world's largest companies on cutting edge legal solutions, including digital asset regulation and crypto currency litigation, as well as many other areas of law, with a focus on corporate and commercial law. If there is a specific area of law you would like to develop, we are happy to offer you additional opportunities to do so. For example, you could write articles for our newsletter on legal topics that interest you and, should you have availability, you could get involved in some of the work through legal research. Although, the best way to develop those skills, would be by joining us for an internship during or after you complete the programme.

Who will be part of the team? You will be part of a team of up to 10 students from various universities, usually based in Hong Kong and the UK. You will be guided by us throughout the year with a short weekly video call to discuss plans, share progress and check in on each other. Below is an overview of our 2023/24 Campus Ambassadors.
