We know that the first step is always the hardest. More often than not, law graduates simply do not have enough information about the different firms and only apply to the firms recommended by their family or their friends.
The fact that you are visiting our site means that you must have heard of us. We are pleased to be told by outsiders that we have developed a reputation for our pupillage programme.
The Raja, Darryl & Loh Pupillage Programme is based on the following tenets:
Mentoring
Each pupil will have a partner as a pupil master or pupil mistress as the case may be. Your pupil master or pupil mistress is responsible for your progress and development and is expected to provide you with the necessary guidance throughout your pupillage.
A Pupils Welfare Committee which is headed by a partner meets the pupils on a monthly basis to discuss any problems or issues that the pupils in the firm may have.
Self Help
Raja, Darryl & Loh has a diverse practice and we believe that at this stage of your career you should be exposed to as many areas as possible. A list of recommended work will be given to you at the beginning of your pupillage. A pupil is expected to use the given list as a guide and approach lawyers to seek work. We believe that this self help approach is an essential part of a pupil’s training as this will encourage initiative and enable our pupils to improve their self-confidence
A Learning Culture
At Raja, Darryl & Loh we have a strong tradition of teaching and nurturing our pupils and lawyers.
-
Our pupils learn to acquire practical skills in, amongst others, research, drafting, preparation of opinions, case analysis and file management.
-
Under dispute resolution, our pupils work on files, attend conferences with clients and attend court either to assist lawyers or on their own for non- contentious matters.
-
Under our corporate and commercial practice, pupils may find themselves helping to vet agreements, conduct research, prepare opinions and participate in due diligence exercises.
-
Under our intellectual property and ICT practice, pupils often take part in enforcement work, assist in preparing submissions for the Registrar and research points of law.
-
We organise an in-house Continuing Legal Education programme for the pupils in which partners and associates talk to the pupils on various areas of practice on a regular basis.

Pupils' Testimony
Our attachment programs are tailored according to the interest expressed by the attachee. We try our best to place the attachee under the supervision of a partner who practises in the area which he/she has expressed an interest in.
