King & Wood Mallesons (KWM), a law firm based in Asia and operates internationally, benefits from its extensive scale and legal resources in these dynamic economic regions. The firm has practice competence in such key jurisdictions as China's mainland, Hong Kong SAR, Australia, the United Kingdom, the United States, Japan, Singapore, and Europe.

In2012, KWM, the top law firm in China, joined forces with Mallesons Stephen andJaques, a well-established and highly respected Australian law firm, andcreated the first internationalised law firm based in Asia, changing theinternational legal market previously dominated by British and American lawfirms. 

For our Sixth Form pupils, this impending opportunity offers an immersive experience within the widely-recognised industry leader known for its professional legal services and highly skilled team of solicitors.  Pupils at Wellington College Hangzhou will be presented with the chance to gain firsthand experience of the daily operations of solicitors and explore the intricacies of the legal profession - a valuable experience that will provide insights guiding them in their future career planning.

Additionally, senior solicitors from KWM will deliver an array of insightful law lectures, sharing their career journeys and practical cases, while also providing guidance on university selection and employment opportunities for aspiring law students. This activity will deepen pupils’ understanding of law inspiring them to appreciate the humanistic caring and social responsibility inherent in legal practice.
