Hong Kong, 18 August 2026: Farewell and good luck to Nam Minhyeong and Yeo Jayeong, who spent two weeks with our firm under the latest internship programme between Hong Kong and Korea. The pair have returned to their homeland after making many friends during their time with BC&C.

The initiative, which saw 19 students and young lawyers gain experience with firms in our city, was organised by the Law Society of Hong Kong and Korea’s Ministry of Justice and Bar Association.

“It was our pleasure to host Minhyeong and Jayeong and we wish them well in their careers,” says BC&C Partner Stephanie Lai who, together with Associate Hazel Tang, attended a closing cocktail gathering for the visitors. “We are strong supporters of the internship programme, which has been running since 2014. The benefits are clear: as well as giving the interns valuable international experience, it plays a vital role in fostering closer legal co-operation between Hong Kong and Korea.”

Addressing the gathering, Law Society President Roden Tong highlighted Hong Kong’s unique strengths under the principle of “One Country, Two Systems” as the only common law jurisdiction within China. He also encouraged the interns to embrace emerging technologies, including AI, while upholding the core values of professionalism, integrity and the rule of law.
