At Allen & Gledhill, it is foremost in our minds that our Firm is only as good as its people. We are who we are today because of the best and brightest legal minds who have walked our halls, who shaped our values of excellence, integrity, respect, commitment, collegiality and professionalism, and our commitment to nurturing and bringing out the best in our people.
Our people comprise senior practitioners who are widely recognised as leading legal experts, as well as a large and credible team of younger Partners and Associates who represent the future.
We endeavour to give our people opportunities, to grow both as a lawyer and an individual and to develop the skill and confidence to tackle even the most complex matters and difficult situations. It will not be an easy journey – it takes unstinting hard work, but we believe we can provide a rigorous yet supportive environment for you to excel.
In these pages, we provide you with an insight to life at our Firm, ranging from working on complex cross-border transactions to the training programmes and secondments we have to offer to our myriad of social events. This provides a snapshot of what we have to offer you – mentorship and training, exposure to premium work and a collegiate environment where your colleagues are your friends.
We look forward to welcoming you at our Firm.
Christina Ong, Chairman and Senior Partner
We spoke to our lawyers about their decision to join A&G and their experiences as a member of our Firm. Watch to find out more.
With over 650 lawyers across the Allen & Gledhill network in South-east Asia, we are one of the largest law firms in the region. We provide premium services in 32 practice areas, with our major practices consistently ranked in the top tier band of major legal directories. We regularly act on complex, high-profile and first-of-its kind transactions, both in Singapore as well as across multiple jurisdictions. .
We are also constantly mindful of promoting a strong camaraderie in our culture, with teamwork, collegiality and knowledge-sharing being our key tenets. Working across practices, our teamwork positions us well to provide innovative and comprehensive solutions to our clients.
The practice of the law requires a sound technical grounding, and equally importantly, good interpersonal and matter management skills. At A&G, your legal and transactional skills will be honed through working on cutting-edge transactions under the mentorship of leading legal practitioners, and with a supportive team of seniors and peers. You will also have the opportunity to be seconded to our clients, regional offices and network of “best friend” firms.
Our interactions across practices are not limited to work, and extend to a collegiate social environment fostered by our numerous social events such as our annual Firm trip, Legal and Business Services Christmas dinners, department Chinese New Year dinners, as well as informal team events and outings (or simply colleagues running to the bar next door for a drink!) We also foster a culture of giving back to the community and initiate and participate in fundraising and volunteering activities as a firm.
