Job Description

Responsibilities

Start your career with a Firm that combines leading Singapore law expertise with a truly global platform. At Wong & Leow LLC, we offer a select number of Practice Training Contracts each year to high-calibre law graduates. Trainees receive a thorough grounding in Singapore law and practice, while gaining exposure to cross-border matters through our joint law venture with Baker McKenzie. 


We are looking for talented, commercially minded candidates who are keen to start their legal careers in January 2027 with our Employment or Finance & Projects practice groups.



The Traineeship Programme 

Designed to provide hands-on experience, along with the knowledge, skills and experience required for a successful legal career. You will benefit from:

    • Induction: Structured introduction to the Firm, our practice areas and the work we undertake, to equip you transition smoothly into practice
    • Technical Legal Training: Regular practice group training sessions and Trainee-focused seminars that provide a strong grounding in commercial law across practice groups
    • Professional Skills Development: Targeted training in areas such as drafting, presentation skills and client management - developing the skills required to operate as a trusted adviser
    • Ethics and Professional Responsibility: Structured sessions covering ethics, professional conduct, court etiquette and risk management.


Practice Areas & Rotation

The Traineeship Programme includes rotations across a Core Seat and a Secondary Seat, providing Trainees with exposure to both advocacy and solicitor practice areas as part of their 12-month Practice Training Period.


Supervising Solicitors & Mentors

You will be assigned a Supervising Solicitor who will oversee your training and on-the-job learning. In addition, an Associate Mentor will provide guidance and serve as an informal point of contact as you transition from graduate to legal practitioner.


Who we are looking for

Candidates with strong academic credentials, commercial awareness and sound judgement, as well as the drive, curiosity and collaborative approach to work effectively with colleagues and clients.


How to Apply

Please submit your cover letter, CV and latest academic transcripts. Your cover letter should clearly set out your interest in the Firm and reasons for pursuing your preferred practice area.
