Yichen Xing’s Story

As a young lawyer, you must learn fast and get to grips with areas you might not have in-depth knowledge of. It’s challenging but rewarding.  

You’re at the cutting edge of legal work and involved in transactions that have significant impact. 

For example, I’ve been helping clients find solutions to their technological transformation challenges. I have been collaborating with various pharmaceutical companies to navigate regulatory challenges and consistently deliver high-quality products to the Chinese market.

The open culture at Freshfields makes it easy to collaborate across different time zones.  

There’s a sense of individual responsibility and achievement that translates into excellence. Freshfields also fosters a culture of ownership where you learn to approach every new challenge with attention to detail. 

New joiners are supported. My advice is: don’t hold back. Colleagues on every level are happy to answer questions and offer guidance.
