We are currently recruiting for a 12-month fixed term contract paralegal to join Hogan Lovells' Investigations, White Collar and Fraud (IWCF) team in Singapore. Applicants should have a formal legal qualification and/or several months of paralegal experience. Newly Singapore qualified lawyers are welcome too.
Our award winning Litigation, Arbitration & Employment (LAE) practice is a global litigation powerhouse that gets the best results for its clients.

The IWCF team is part of our LAE practice group. According to Global Investigations Review 100 (GIR), we are "One of the world's best investigations and white-collar practices."

We pursue and defend claims against executive boards, and we craft internal programs and policies that comply with global legislation, such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the UK Bribery Act. Local matters often give rise to international legal risks and investigations. Our team handles cross-border work, including in offshore jurisdictions. And we know what it takes to deal with such issues, having teams established in China, Europe, the Americas, Africa, and the Middle East.
