KLANG, WILAYAH PERSEKUTUAN KUALA LUMPUR


Employer:
Raslan Loong, Shen & Eow
Suite 08-03, Level 8, Wisma Mont Kiara, 1 Jalan Kiara, 50480 Kuala Lumpur
KUALA LUMPUR WILAYAH PERSEKUTUAN KUALA LUMPUR

Tel: +603 6205 2775


Job Description:
Our pupils are not assigned to a single department for the full period. The pupillage is structured as three rotational seats, so that each pupil leaves with a working view of three genuinely different paths in practice before deciding which to pursue.

Seat 1: Conveyancing and Real Estate

• To assist in the preparation and completion of sale and purchase, loan and security documentation
• To attend to searches, stamping, presentation and registration, and to track matters through to completion
• To liaise with clients, bankers, land offices and relevant authorities under supervision

Seat 2: Corporate and Commercial

• To assist in drafting and reviewing commercial agreements and transaction documents
• To carry out legal due diligence and to prepare due diligence findings
• To conduct research on regulatory and compliance questions arising in transactions

Seat 3: Litigation and Dispute Resolution

• To attend Case Management, Hearings and/or Trials with our lawyers
• To assist in drafting Cause Papers, written submissions and legal opinions
• To conduct case law and statutory research and to prepare research notes

What We Offer

• Direct learning from the partners and senior associates. In a team of our size there is no layer between a pupil and the person actually running the matter
• Three rotational seats rather than a single department, so the choice of practice area at the end of pupillage is an informed one
• Exposure to international and cross border work and clients, including matters arising through our membership of the global law network Ally Law
• The experience of a small firm going through change, where processes and ways of working are still being built, and where a pupil who contributes can see the effect of that contribution


Qualifications and Requirements:
• Law graduates who have completed, or are about to complete, the CLP or a qualifying law degree, and who are eligible to be admitted as a pupil under the Legal Profession Act 1976
• Strong English and working proficiency in Bahasa Malaysia, both essential
• An ownership mindset. We are looking for someone who treats a matter as theirs to carry, not merely to pass along
• A growth mindset. Willingness to be corrected, to seek out feedback, and to treat difficulty as the point of the exercise rather than a setback
• Self-driven, with a demonstrated habit of learning rather than waiting to be taught
• Adaptable, able to move between seats, subject matters and working styles without losing pace
• Open and eager to work with AI and legal technology tools, and equally clear that every output must be checked, sourced and verified before it is relied on
• Able to work within a small and closely knit team


Job Start Date:
01 November 2026


Application Closing Date:
31 October 2026


Overview of Organisation:
Raslan Loong, Shen & Eow traces its origins to the foundation of Raslan Loong in 1995. We advise on corporate, commercial, finance, investment, real estate, intellectual property, technology, telecommunications and regulatory matters, and we act on domestic, cross border and international transactions across a range of sectors. We are consistently commended and ranked by key international legal directories.
Our lawyers come from diverse legal backgrounds, including English trained barristers, a licensed English solicitor, an advocate and solicitor of the Supreme Court of Singapore, alongside our Malaysian trained lawyers. Our exclusive membership of the global law network Ally Law gives us multi jurisdictional capability on cross border work.
We are a lean team by design. That means a pupil here sits close to the partners, sees the whole of a matter rather than a slice of it, and is expected to bring initiative rather than wait for instructions.
