Pupil-in-Chambers / Intern

Job description

We are looking for a Pupil-in-Chambers or long-term Intern (minimum 6 months) who views this not as a filler stint but as the beginning of a career in law. If you are serious about building a foundation in corporate and commercial practice, and ready to learn by doing rather than just observing, this may be the right place for you.

This role is hands-on. You will not be running errands or limited to proofreading. You will be trained to think and work like a practising lawyer, with exposure to the standards, discipline, and client interaction that come with the profession.

What You'll Be Doing

• Assisting with drafting and research for corporate and commercial transactions including shareholder agreements joint ventures, service contracts, and governance frameworks.
• Supporting due diligence exercises, structuring, and transaction implementation.
• Preparing notes, submissions, and filings for corporate, real estate, and contentious matters.
• Learning the foundations of company secretarial work including incorporations, board resolutions, filings, AGMs, and regulatory oversight.
• Gaining exposure to licensing applications such as Labuan FSA approvals and SC licensing matters, together with regulatory advisory work.
• Joining client meetings and internal strategy sessions so you understand the context of the work, not just the paperwork.
• Contributing to firm development through legal briefings, knowledge notes, proposals, and research that supports client engagement.

What We're Looking For

Who This Role Suits

You want to build a career, not just complete a requirement. You pick things up quickly, take responsibility for your work, and perform well when given meaningful tasks. You are curious about the intersection of law and business, and you appreciate both mentorship and accountability. We will invest in your training, and in return you will be expected to deliver.
