Learning in practice

Pupillage applications

We take pupils in chambers from time to time. Applications are welcome from candidates interested in learning through the day-to-day work of a small Kuala Lumpur law firm.

Learning at the firm

Pupillage, also known as chambering, is a period of supervised practical training. Pupils are not lawyers and are not presented as members of the firm’s practising legal team.

Our work includes family law, intellectual property, wills and estates, commercial matters, property, employment law and civil litigation. Depending on the matters available and the supervision required, a pupil’s work may include legal research, drafting, organising documents and assisting with preparation for meetings or court proceedings.

The aim is to develop careful legal work, clear communication and an understanding of professional responsibilities. The work available will vary; a placement does not guarantee exposure to every practice area.

What we look for

We welcome applications that demonstrate an interest in legal practice, clear writing and a willingness to learn. Care with detail, respect for confidentiality and the ability to respond thoughtfully to feedback matter in everyday work.

How to apply

Email koo.chin.nam@gmail.com with the subject line “Pupillage application — [your name]”. Please include:

  • A short covering letter explaining your interest in the firm and any areas of practice you would like to explore.
  • Your current CV and contact details.
  • Your academic transcript and details of completed or pending professional qualifications relevant to pupillage.
  • Your proposed start date and availability.
  • If available, a short writing sample that you are entitled to share and that contains no confidential information.

Please do not send original certificates, identity document copies or confidential materials from previous work at the initial application stage. We can request further documents if needed.
