The application window for internships with us in 2023 opens at 9.00am SGT on 12 December 2022 and closes on 31 January 2023.

Internships are a great opportunity for you to get to know us and see first-hand what the life of a practising lawyer is like.  Our programme is designed to take you on a tour of the firm and provide a platform to participate in the culture that defines us Rajah & Tann.  Interns can expect to work alongside our lawyers as they attend court proceedings and meetings, be involved in transactions and assist in tasks such as research and the preparation of legal documents.

Our programme is also a means for us to get to know each other and understand your perspectives and aspirations. If you are considering a permanent position with us, our lawyers are always on the lookout for aspirants who would make solid additions to our teams.

We hope to achieve a lot during your time with us and each placement will run for a period of four weeks.  For 2023, our internship programmes will be conducted from:

• From 8 May to 1 June 2023
• From 3 July to 28 July 2023 and
• From 7 August to 1 September 2023

 
In addition to the above 4-week structured internship programmes, we also accept applications for internships outside of these periods on an ad hoc basis.

Law undergraduate and postgraduate interns will be entitled to receive an honorarium during their period of internship with us.

The practice of law is multi-faceted. That is why our firm has several teams, each with their own specialised skills and unique personalities. You may apply for a placement with any of the following practice groups:

 

Disputes Commercial Dispute Resolution (includes the sub-practice groups of Commercial Litigation, Insurance, Appeals & Issues, and Fraud, Asset Recovery & Investigations) Family, Probate & Trusts Intellectual Property, Sports & Gaming International Arbitration and Construction & Projects Restructuring & Insolvency Shipping & International Trade White Collar Crime
