Students of King’s College International visit Nishimura & Asahi’s Bangkok office
On 22 June 2023, SCL Nishimura & Asahi hosted twenty-two Year 10 students from King’s College International School.
The students listened to a presentation on the differences between litigation and arbitration as well as the increasing popularity of alternative dispute resolution. They were also treated to an office tour, where the students met partners, lawyers, and staff and had the opportunity to participate in discussions concerning legal careers.
King’s College provided the following feedback, noting that the students were engaged and interested throughout their visit.
Studying business in a classroom is not the same as seeing it in real life. The students were inspired by the passion and enthusiasm the lawyers and staff showed for their jobs.
- Elinor Kurton (Teacher)
The visit to a leading law firm was highly valuable for the Year 10 students by allowing them to experience and observe the typical work environment in corporate law. The visit was expertly organized and generously hosted by Nishimura and Asahi.
