Janice Tsang Trainee Solicitor (2006-2007) “If you believe in the ‘work hard, play hard’ mantra, come to JSM. We are often instructed to handle the region’s topical matters, in which you have to apply more than your photocopying skills!

JSM also provides numerous ‘playful’ development opportunities outside work. For example, I have participated in the Central Rat Race, the Annual Party performance and the Dragon Boat Race, which are all excellent opportunities for team-building and making friends.” Janice Tsang
