If you believe in being curious, love solving problems and know in your gut that sometimes it's more art than science then you should start your career with us.
Which is why we believe in recruiting for diversity. We don't just recruit the best legal graduates. If you can show us excellence we don't mind if you haven't taken a traditional route to law.
Our culture is about making it possible; for our people, our clients and our communities. We believe in giving our people a voice. We lead the way with new solutions and services. We support our clients whether they're facing disruption or creating it. We leverage our expertise and influence to make a difference. And we work together as one firm internationally.
At Bird & Bird ATMD, we celebrate our differences and cultivate an environment where our people can reach their full potential and make a valuable contribution.
Our focus remains on increasing the representation of women in senior positions, and we continue to support the Singapore government's efforts in forging a cohesive multicultural society.
With talent being more diverse than ever before, we recognise the importance of an inclusive work environment, and that is the key to recruiting, developing, and retaining that talent. When employees feel included and engaged, they leverage the richness of ideas, backgrounds, and perspectives to create business value.
In an effort to reduce our carbon footprint, the Singapore office has exercised a variety of measures to support this initiative. We regularly monitor energy usage and encourage staff to reduce consumption, for example, by switching off lights and electrical equipment when not in use. We also use energy saving LED bulbs in the office which use approximately 75% less energy than standard incandescent or compact fluorescent light bulbs. To help reduce wastage and encourage recycling, we have designated strategic areas in the office for recycling paper and metal.
At Bird & Bird ATMD, besides doing our part to build a more sustainable future, we have a strong environmental focus in our practice and believe in playing on our strengths and expertise as a law firm to make a more significant contribution to our society.
This firm values those who give back to the community, be it by the amount of time they contribute or via monetary means, as we believe that “every little bit helps”. As part of a global business, we want to be a role model. We understand the importance of doing our part to grow and develop the communities where we operate.
Bird & Bird ATMD is an ideal place for young lawyers to learn their craft. There is a real breadth and depth to the type of files which we handle, with many of our matters involving foreign clients or counterparties. Importantly, the firm has a highly collegial work culture – Partners and Counsels in the firm are nurturing, and Associates and support staff are always on the lookout for each other. As part of a global network of 30 offices, you will also be provided with opportunities to interact with lawyers from different jurisdictions, whether through work or during retreats.
