Message from President
IYLEF is a Hong Kong-based professional organisation founded by a group of young lawyers and law students with the objective to nurture and unite the next generation of Hong Kong’s legal minds by bridging individuals with the international legal arena. With the support from the HKSAR Government, IYLEF has successfully launched two legally-themed exchange tours to Singapore and the UK during the first quarter of 2018, providing a brand-new professional platform for international legal exchange for both law students and young legal practitioners. With the Mainland China Legal Internship Programme being its flagship Programme, IYLEF is set on the course to provide a more comprehensive set of professional support to law students and young legal practitioners along the development of their legal career.
