Singapore Kennedys Full time

Kennedys Legal Solutions is looking for a mid-senior level lawyer to join its fast growing international arbitration and disputes practice.

This is a unique opportunity for an ambitious lawyer who is keen to work on an array of challenging cases in a collegiate and highly regarded team within a fast growing international law firm. The lawyer will be exposed to wide range of international disputes work and Singapore qualified lawyers will have the opportunity to also handle related Singapore litigation work.
