Singapore International Arbitration Group Winter Internship Programme (2025)
Our Winter Internship Programme (December 2025 – January 2026)
Between now and 30 June 2025, we are inviting applications for internships from outstanding students in all years of an undergraduate or graduate law or non-law degree. This internship will take place between December 2025 and January 2026.
You are required to upload your CV, a cover letter, university transcripts and a short legal writing sample with your application.
Once you have submitted your application form, we will review and confirm by email if you have made it through to the next stage. We will ask you to either come to our office for an interview or attend an interview by Microsoft Teams.
The Programme
Our interns can expect to work with our team on a range of research and writing assignments, as well as preparation for any hearings in which the team is involved during your internship.
We demand intellectual excellence from our lawyers and interns, and thus seek students with outstanding academic records. Our standards are uncompromising. But we also want colleagues with whom we can enjoy working together. We seek colleagues who will enjoy the challenge of the fluid, stimulating, high-stakes environment in which we work; who will get their hands dirty with all sorts of work; and who will also have fun with us.
In particular, we are looking for candidates who are:
- at or near the top of their class;
- passionate about advocacy, research and writing;
- interested in international cases and issues;
- able to work well with colleagues and clients from diverse backgrounds and legal traditions; and
- eager to take on challenging legal assignments and gain substantive, practical experience.
Completing the application form
Please note that you must complete the form yourself. It must be entirely your own work and the information you give must be complete and accurate. If you have not completed the form yourself or you provide misleading information this may disqualify you from appointment or, if appointed, may result in your dismissal.
