Pupillage
Our Pupillage Programme

Introduction
Choosing the right firm for pupillage is a major decision which every law undergraduate faces.

If you are a dynamic and motivated individual with good academic results, we can offer you a challenging and exciting career with one of the leading law practices in Singapore.

Recruitment and Training Programme
The firm invites applications from suitable undergraduates for pupillage places. We recruit pupils with a view to retention. In this regard, our focus is on ensuring that our pupils are trained to become competent lawyers.

At Tan Kok Quan Partnership, the training that our pupils and junior associates receive focuses on determining practical solutions to clients' problems.

The firm offers pupils the choice of undergoing a single seat in one department, or being rotated through the various departments. In any case, each pupil will be assigned one or more mentors to guide him or her through the period of pupillage. Further, we have a policy of enabling pupils and junior associates to work directly with senior partners who are specialists in their respective fields.

The size of the firm makes it relatively easy to achieve the objective of pupils and junior associates interacting and working with the senior partners. We recognise that each individual is different, and we nurture each pupil accordingly so that he or she can realise his or her own potential. As lawyers from different practice groups usually work in teams to provide best possible service to clients, our pupils will have hands-on exposure to varied areas of legal practice.

International Exposure
Given the globalisation of legal services, Singapore lawyers need to adopt an international outlook. The firm has a policy of sending suitable associates overseas for attachments with foreign law firms or barristers' chambers.

Firm's Culture
We offer a friendly, exciting and intellectually-stimulating working environment. Firm functions are held often to develop camaraderie. As a medium-sized firm, you will have every opportunity to interact with virtually all the lawyers in the firm, both professionally and socially. While we expect our lawyers to give the best of their time and effort to attend to clients' needs, we also realise the need for our lawyers to have a good quality of life and develop pursuits outside the law. It is important to us that our lawyers have time to pursue their individual interests outside the office. In recognition of this, the firm operates on a 5-day week.

Resources and Facilities
At Tan Kok Quan Partnership, we recognise that pupils must be fully equipped for pupillage if they are to benefit fully from their pupillage programme. Pupils are therefore provided with their own individual workstations and desktop internet access including access to various research libraries.

Remuneration
Tan Kok Quan Partnership acknowledges the importance of attracting pupils of quality and calibre to the firm, and accordingly offers an attractive and competitive allowance for our pupils.

In addition, our pupils can expect:-
• a discretionary year-end bonus
• the opportunity to participate in all the firm's social activities, including firm trips abroad
• reimbursement of the Practice Law Course fees (upon retention by the firm)
• reimbursement of all fees incurred in filing and stamping your call-papers (upon retention by the firm)
