Singapore FORWARD LEGAL LLC Full time
Forward Legal LLC is on the lookout for an associate to join our team.
But first, a little about us and how we practise the law. We believe good lawyering happens when people feel respected, supported, and heard. We also dabble in one of the most exciting and fast-evolving spaces: the internet, technology, and digital communications. In addition, our lawyers handle matters in litigation, corporate law, advisory work, and sometimes community law. This means exposure across diverse practice areas while building expertise in the growing area of digital law. You can find out more about us at forwardlegal.sg.
Why join us?
  • Progressive approach to work: We use tech and AI to work faster, smarter, and remotely when it makes sense to. Being a small firm lets us be unconventional in the best ways: from working off the Cloud and reviewing papers with AI tools built for law, to collaborating over Zoom or Slack instead of shuffling clunky files in a stuffy office.
  • Flat and supportive team: We are close-knit, with no unnecessary hierarchy or office politics. No screaming, no shouting, no toxicity. Everyone's voice and ideas matters.
  • Work-life respect: When you are on leave, you are truly on leave. Weekends are weekends, unless there are pressing matters. We issue separate work phones so our dinner plans don't get mixed with client updates.
  • Guidance without micromanagement: Senior lawyers provide mentorship and support, while giving you space to grow and shape your own ideas.
  • Competitive remuneration: We believe in fair pay for good work.
What we are looking for
  • An open mind when it comes to learning and using legal tech tools. (Don't worry, we'll show you the ropes if you're willing to learn; no coding experience needed for sure)
  • Ability to work independently and remotely without someone peering over your shoulder, while knowing senior lawyers are always around to back you up.
  • Cool and composed under pressure. Court deadlines and client demands are stressful enough without adding drama into the mix.
  • Strong research and writing skills. If you can draft clearly and persuasively without hiding behind jargon, we want you.
  • Ability to be concise, because not everything needs a 20-page memo.
  • Confidence. Whether it's overt charisma, or the kind of quiet confidence that means standing up for your arguments and convictions.
  • A willingness to do good and support the community that turns to us for legal help.
  • A good personality and passion for life outside of law. We like well-rounded colleagues who bring fresh perspectives (and maybe stories from a hobby, sport, or side interest).
If our practice areas and values resonate with you, we would love to hear from you. Reach out to us through
