Interested in joining as a practice trainee?

Practice trainees are rotated throughout numerous practice groups to provide trainees with maximum exposure and training in multiple disciplines of a large law firm. We consider such training to be the cornerstone of a successful legal career and this has been our practice even prior to Singapore Institute of Legal Education's new requirements that trainees be exposed to 2 or more areas of practice.

Practice trainees will be exposed to the following areas of practice:

• Corporate practice
• Finance practice
• Intellectual Property and Technology Practice
• Litigation practice
• Real Estate Practice
• Regional Practice

Practice trainees will be assigned to supervising solicitors who are partners in the practice trainee's department of choice. Practice trainees will learn various aspects of legal work in the practice groups that they are rotated to. They will receive training in client care and file management and their research skills developed as undergraduates will be further enhanced. They will receive training on drafting of documents, participate in hearings and negotiations in order to develop advocacy and negotiation skills and they will be nurtured to improve their communication and interpersonal skills.

Practice Trainee Allowance

Our practice trainees will receive a monthly honorarium during their attendance of Part B course and time spent with the firm as a Practice Trainee. These amounts are reviewed and adjusted periodically. Upon completion of their training contract with us and the acceptance of the firm’s offer as Associate, we will reimburse Part B of the Singapore Bar Examination fees.
