Litigation Trainee Applications · Kuala Lumpur

Your application.

Eleven questions under a 40-minute clock, one of them a short client call, plus your details, a resume, your transcript and an optional cover letter. Copy and paste are disabled and there is no save-and-return, so fill in your details first and start the clock only when you are somewhere quiet. You will get a written outcome within seven days.

Why this page is on lawgistics.my. Thomas Philip uses Lawgistics to run its applications, so every candidate is assessed the same way and nobody is skipped. Your application goes to the firm, and only to the firm.

Worth reading first: how we assess applications. The written answers are the assessment. They carry far more weight than your transcript. Interns and litigation trainees sit the same questions and are scored the same way.

About you

Your IC details are used only to prepare an offer letter if you are successful. They form no part of the assessment and are not seen by the scoring step.

Cohorts start on a Monday and the programme runs four weeks, so pick the first Monday you could begin. If you are not sure, pick the earliest Monday that could work and tell us in the last question.
Your studies
Your institution, qualification (LLB, CLP, Bar, LLM) and the year you completed or expect to complete. Fresh graduates are welcome.
Which describes you
This decides which opening we consider you for. Everyone sits the same assessment and is scored the same way.

Before you begin

The assessment is timed.

  • 40 minutes for all eleven questions. It is deliberately tight. Answer, do not polish. The clock starts when you press Begin and cannot be paused.
  • Copy and paste are disabled. You will need to type your answers.
  • There is no save-and-return. If you close this page you lose your answers.
  • Have both documents on this device. Attach your resume and transcript above before you start. The clock does not stop while you look for a file.
  • Find somewhere quiet first. Fill in your details above before you start the clock.

If the clock runs out you can still submit what you have written. We will see that time ran out and read your answers accordingly. An unfinished honest attempt is worth more to us than a polished one that is not yours.

Consent

The last two are optional and ticking or leaving them blank has no effect whatsoever on your application. You can withdraw either at any time by writing to careers@thomasphilip.com.my.

Trouble submitting? Email your application to careers@thomasphilip.com.my.

Received

Your application is with us.

Every application is assessed against the same published criteria and reviewed by us. You will hear back from us in writing within seven days, whichever way the decision goes.

Keep this page open long enough to note the date. Your answers have been recorded and there is nothing further for you to do.

If anything changes in the meantime, or you need to correct something you submitted, write to careers@thomasphilip.com.my.
