Summer Intern (SG) at Sidley Austin LLP – Singapore

We are looking for a select number of summer interns to join our Singapore office who will be potentially offered a two-year joint training contract with the London office commencing in 2028 Aug/Sep. Trainees will spend their first year in London completing six-month rotations in two practice groups before completing their final year in Singapore. You will complete a four-week internship program as part of the training contract application. We welcome penultimate year law students from the UK and Singapore universities who would like to get qualified in England and Wales and are looking for long-term career opportunities with our Singapore office.

As an intern, you will meet lawyers from different practice groups and participate in activities that will broaden your understanding of the work we do in Singapore and firmwide. 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 help solve problems and create opportunities for our clients.

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 pure 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 must be able to demonstrate a strong ability to analyze and learn, and have perseverance and initiative.
