11. How many Pupils do you recruit a year and what are a Pupil’s chances of being retained as an Associate? We commit considerable time and resources to the training and development of our Pupils, and as such recruit up to 2 pupils each year. We only offer pupillages to applicants who we think have a realistic chance of being retained, and not to more applicants than we would be able to accommodate as Associates. Our recruitment record shows that almost all our Pupils have been offered Associate positions at the firm upon completion of their Pupillage. 12. What is the assessment criteria? Offers of Pupillage are made strictly on merit, by reference to criteria such as intellectual ability, problem-solving and communication skills, as well as commitment and drive to become a successful dispute resolution practitioner. © 2013 Thomas Philip, Advocates & Solicitors 5-1, Jalan 22A / 70A, Wisma CKL, Desa Sri Hartamas, 50480 Kuala Lumpur T: +60362015678 / F: +60362035678 / E: careers@thomasphilip.com.my / W: wwwthomasphilip.com.my
To Prospective Pupillage Candidates: Overview of the Thomas Philip Pupillage Modules • The duration of the modules vary between 1 to 6 weeks, and on the whole, modules would require more than 2 weeks to complete. • Modules may overlap and pupils regularly undertake more than 1 task contemporaneously. • The undertaking and completion of modules are flexible. As a general guide, half of the modules should have either been completed, or in the final stages of completion, within five (5) months of commencement of their pupillage. • Time for presentations or round-ups of Modules undertaken are tentatively allocated once a week at a time to be determined or at office / litigation meetings, and may involve question-and-answer (Q&A) sessions. • While there is no grading of the assignments, pupils may be required to re-submit their assignments to the reasonable satisfaction of the Pupil Master. • Pupils are encouraged to undertake a balanced combination of written and spoken assignments. • All assignment topics must be approved by the firm either through the Pupil Master or the lawyer having direct supervision of the legal matter. • Written work may be published to an internal audience, for instance by way of posting on the firm’s notice-board, or an electronic mail copied internally. • Pupils are required to keep a log on their progress and achievements in every Module. • The modules are a guide and are subject to change. Wishing you every success, Mathew Thomas Philip Managing Partner. © 2013 Thomas Philip, Advocates & Solicitors 5-1, Jalan 22A / 70A, Wisma CKL, Desa Sri Hartamas, 50480 Kuala Lumpur T: +60362015678 / F: +60362035678 / E: careers@thomasphilip.com.my / W: wwwthomasphilip.com.my
