Singapore International Arbitration Group Internship Programme

Learn from the best to become the best. Our Singapore International Arbitration Group internship gives you a chance to shape your future in our leading-edge practice.  

We offer the scheme twice yearly: in the summer (May to August) and winter (December to January). Timings can be fitted around your needs, but placements usually last between three and six weeks.  

During your internship you’ll be researching and writing assignments, as well as preparing for hearings the team is involved in. 

Our work is challenging. We’re focused on finding equally high-performing interns. We also want colleagues who are great collaborators – who enjoy the high-stakes environment we work in and dig deep. 

In particular, we seek candidates who are:  

  • At or near the top of their class.
  • Passionate about advocacy, research and writing. 
  • Fascinated by international cases and issues. 
  • Ready to take on challenging legal assignments and gain substantive, practical experience.

To apply, please upload the following documents (in English) with your online application form:

  • Your CV.
  • A cover letter.
  • A short legal writing sample (three to ten pages).
  • Academic transcripts.
