Summer Intern (SG)

We are looking for summer interns to join our Singapore office who will be potentially offered a two-year joint training contract with the London office commencing in Aug/Sep 2029.

Trainees will spend their first year in London before completing their second year in Singapore. You will complete a four-week internship program as part of the training contract application.

We welcome penultimate year law students studying in the UK or Singapore who would like to get qualified in England and Wales and are looking for long-term career opportunities with our Singapore office.

Duties and Responsibilities

As an intern, you will work with lawyers from different practice groups and work on tasks that will broaden your understanding of the work we do on local and regional scale. You will be engaged in real legal work, such as conducting research or due diligence, or drafting memoranda or agreements under the guidance of our lawyers.

Through hands-on participation, you get to observe how Sidley lawyers solve problems and create opportunities for our clients.

Qualifications

We are looking for people who are bright, with outstanding academic qualifications. You will need to have, or be anticipating, at least a 2.1 degree or equivalent in law.

Beyond academic ability, we’re looking for people who are genuinely intrigued by the commercial world, can work well with others and get on well with clients. You will be in a strong position if you have perseverance, initiative, and an outstanding ability to analyze and learn.
