Dear Class of 2025,
COFCO International is pleased to announce that it will participate in the Virtual Networking event with WashULaw on January 11, and that it is looking for student candidates for its internship and externship programs!
COFCO International is a global commodity-trading company with 11,000 employees in 37 countries, and is the overseas agriculture platform for COFCO Corporation, China’s largest food and agriculture company. In 2021, COFCO International handled over 130 million tons of agricultural commodities with revenues of $48 billion.
The Chicago office of COFCO International is currently looking for students who are interested in an internship (summer 2023) or an externship (fall 2023 and spring 2024) with the General Counsel of COFCO International, North America division. Both interns and externs will have hands-on experience in corporate matters, trading matters, research, and document-drafting. Unlike working in law firms, working as an in-house lawyer for COFCO International will give you more insights as to business operations of a company, as you will be working closely and directly with the management of one of the largest global trading companies in the world.
We look forward to networking with any students who are interested in COFCO International, or in how a life for an in-house counsel looks like. Please join us at the Virtual Networking event on January 11, or directly reach out to us by email at zackyang@cofcointernational.com. We look forward to speaking with you.
Sincerely,
Rozan Simoni – General Counsel, North America
Zack Yang – Legal Counsel, North America
