Law graduates of recognised foreign universities without prior legal experience and who graduate in the middle of 2023 will undergo 6 months of Supervised Training.

We recruit our Trainees with the aim of retaining them as Associates, and we do retain the vast majority of our Trainees.
Lee & Lee is known to have a friendly working environment, and our Trainees are treated and trained well.
Trainees will be assigned to the department that they are recruited for.
Trainees will be exposed to 2 of the 4 practice areas that they are supposed to be exposed to, namely, civil litigation, criminal litigation, conveyancing and corporate.
Trainees will be supervised by a Supervising Solicitor from the department that they are recruited for. All our lawyers listed as Partners qualify as Supervising Solicitors.
Our Trainees and Associates are trained and guided by our Partners including a Senior Counsel and about 10 Partners with more than 20 years of experience each. Our Associates are also given responsibilities early on in their careers like dealing with a corporate client, or acting as lead counsel in a trial on behalf of a litigation client.
Our Trainees and Associates are also exposed to a diverse range of clients with differing needs. We have many established and prominent clients. Given our firm’s reputation, we also attract many walk-in clients who are men in the street with legal problems or issues that they need help with.
We are currently paying our Trainees $2,000 per month during training, and $300 per month during the Part B course.
We are currently looking to recruit about 11 Trainees a year.
We have recruited Trainees from a diverse range of universities including Singapore universities, recognised English universities and recognised Australian universities.
