Job Description

A well-established Singapore law firm is looking to hire a senior disputes lawyer to join its team.

This role is ideal for someone who wants to focus on good contentious work within a supportive set-up. A following is not required for this hire.

The team is open to considering candidates above 8 PQE with no fixed upper limit on seniority.

• Draft and review pleadings, affidavits, submissions, witness statements, correspondence, and related contentious documentation

• Advise clients on legal risk, dispute strategy, and practical resolution options

• Work closely with clients, witnesses, experts, and external stakeholders across ongoing matters

• Appear in court and support arbitration proceedings where required

• Mentor junior lawyers and contribute to overall matter management within the team
  

Requirements

• Singapore-qualified lawyer

• At least 8 years’ PQE, with a clear focus on commercial disputes

• Strong experience in litigation and arbitration

• Able to run matters with a good degree of independence

• Strong drafting skills, sound judgement, and a commercially sensible approach to disputes

• Comfortable in a client-facing role and able to build trust with stakeholders

• Prior experience guiding juniors or taking on team leadership responsibilities would be useful
