The program provided a realistic, hands-on simulation of cross-border IPO planning and M&A legal tasks. It was well-structured, used real-world documents, and helped build practical skills in corporate law, compliance, and client communication—especially valuable for students or early-career professionals.

the program have strong emphasis on the integration of HKEX Listing Rules (Chapter 13), SFO Part XIVA, and the SFC Guidelines provided a well-structured framework for understanding ongoing disclosure obligations. It clearly outlined what constitutes inside information, when it must be disclosed, and the responsibilities of directors and officers.

I really enjoyed how the program provided realistic, hands-on tasks that mirror the daily work of a commercial lawyer. It gave me valuable insight into how legal reasoning, commercial awareness, and client communication come together in practice. I especially appreciated the balance between independent problem-solving and practical exposure to Baker McKenzie’s global, collaborative culture.
