Legal Jobs

Have you always liked to get into the details of things? Do you have the best opinions and logical reasoning for everything you say? Well then, an aspiring legal career is what's best for you.  Lucky for you, there's a high demand for legal jobs in Hong Kong, with a ton of exciting opportunities waiting for you. Whether you're looking for an entry-level legal role at a law firm or a senior position as a senior legal counsel, you can stay assured of making the most out of your legal profession.

Let's explore, in detail, what legal jobs are, what qualities are needed to be successful in a legal job, how to qualify for one, and the duties and responsibilities of a legal job. We will also discuss the salary, remuneration, and career development opportunities in the legal department in Hong Kong.

What is a legal job?

A legal job is a role within the legal industry which includes a wide range of professions, such as legal lawyers, paralegals, legal secretaries, and judges. The legal sector is responsible for interpreting and applying laws, regulations, and policies to provide legal advice and legal support to individuals, businesses, and organisations. It also includes offering legal counsel to firms, involving in legal research departments and more.

Qualities needed to be successful in a legal job

To be successful in a legal job in Hong Kong, you must have strong analytical skills, excellent communication skills, and be detail-oriented. You must also have the ability to work under pressure, prioritise tasks effectively, and be highly organised. Strong interpersonal skills are also essential, as legal professionals must be able to build and maintain relationships with clients, colleagues, and other stakeholders from across industries, be it at an investment bank or a big law firm.

Qualifications and skills - How to get a legal job? 

To qualify for a legal job in Hong Kong, you must have a degree in law or a related field, such as business or finance. Some employers may also require a master's degree in law or a specific legal specialisation. Relevant work experience is also highly valued, as well as additional qualifications or certifications, such as the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) qualification or the Hong Kong Bar Association qualification. Having adequate legal experience in managing a legal team or working as a legal assistant will help in securing a job in the legal industry.

You’ll find a number of impressive roles in the current market, including perhaps the legal job openings of:

  • Corporate Lawyer
  • Paralegal
  • Junior Barrister
  • Chief Legal Officer
  • General Counsel
  • Legal Director
  • Legal Ops Manager
  • Legal Clerk
  • Junior Counsel
  • Compliance Counsel
  • Head of Compliance

That's not all; there are many more opportunities for you to explore. If you have prior qualifications and experience in the legal sector, then you're in luck, as you are likely to be in great demand. There are several other sectors within the legal framework, including corporate, arbitration, criminal, financial, constitutional, contracts, infrastructure, employment, property, intellectual rights, maritime, taxation and human rights, that you can consider.

Duties - The role and responsibilities of a legal job

The duties and description of a legal job depend on the specific role and area of law in which you specialise. Lawyers, for example, provide legal advice to clients, prepare legal documents, and represent clients in court. Paralegals, on the other hand, provide support to lawyers. They help in researching cases and drafting legal documents. Legal secretaries provide administrative support to lawyers, such as scheduling appointments and filing legal documents. Judges preside over legal proceedings and make judgments based on the evidence presented.

In a nutshell, the various duties that may come under your jurisdiction could include the following:

  • Preparing legal contracts.
  • Researching international trade laws.
  • Analysing court reports.
  • Arbitrating in company law disputes and so much more.

Salary and remuneration - What is a legal job? 

The exact salary in a legal job depends on the company, sector and title. That being said, a legal lawyer's salary or an external legal counsel's salary in Hong Kong is very comfortable. The higher legal counsel salaries can be found in key sectors like investment banks, legal firms and international law firms at higher positions like head of legal, legal secretary, or vice president roles. 

Career development - What is the next step after securing a legal job?

If you already have a career in legal and want to take it to the next level, fret not. You can find opportunities across sectors within the legal industry which will help accelerate your legal career. You can progress to a senior legal role or specialise in a specific area of law. Legal professionals can also transition into roles outside of the legal industry, such as compliance, risk management, or business management. With ongoing training and professional development courses, you can stay up to date with changes in the law and advance your career.
And when it comes to working in the legal sector in Hong Kong, it’s a thriving business hub that offers excellent salaries alongside tempting benefits packages and a great chance to climb the legal ladder to success. If you work for one of the many commercial corporations here, you’ll find that your working days are busy and sometimes stressful, but also that the rewards make everything worthwhile.
