From April 11 to 12, 2026, Peking University School of Transnational Law (STL) successfully held its 8th Law Fair.

Through a series of campus presentations, career sharing sessions, and on‑site consultation booths, the fair built a bridge for in‑depth communication between students and frontline industry professionals.

During the two‑day event, participating organizations delivered a series of high‑quality presentations and sharing sessions. On April 11, Linklaters kicked off the sessions with a topic titled “Transaction‑Focused Lawyers in Bond and Equity‑Linked Practices”.

On April 12, Clifford Chance, Jingtian & Gongcheng, DeHeng Law Offices, and Guantao Law Firm continued to provide students with career insights and presentations. Each session was rich in content, covering cutting‑edge areas such as capital markets and cross‑border transactions, as well as practical discussions on career development paths for lawyers, with active on‑site interactions.

In addition to special presentations, multiple consultation booths were arranged in separate time slots over the two days, facilitating one‑on‑one communication between students and their target organizations. On the morning of April 11, booths opened for Han Kun Law Offices, Huashang Law Firm, King & Wood, Merits & Tree Law Offices, Zhong Lun Law Firm, and CITIC Securities.

The recruitment fair was held in a vibrant atmosphere. Students arrived with resumes, actively moving between presentation venues and consultation booths. Lower‑year students also took this opportunity to learn about the job market in advance and clarify their academic directions. Through face‑to‑face exchanges with law firm partners, recruitment managers, and senior lawyers, students gained a more intuitive understanding of the latest developments in various segments of the legal industry and clearer thoughts on their own career planning. Many students commented that the valuable information and advice from the event would help them enhance their core competitiveness and anchor their future development paths amid the AI era and industry transformation.

The success of the recruitment fair was made possible by the strong support of participating organizations, the meticulous organization of the STL Career Services Office, and the hard work of student volunteers. Committed to cultivating high‑quality cross‑border legal professionals, Peking University School of Transnational Law will continue to optimize its career service system, deepen cooperation with employers, create more diverse and cutting‑edge internship and employment opportunities for students, and jointly promote the progress of the rule of law in China and the international development of legal professionals.
