Asia Graduates

At Westwyn, we place a great deal of importance on the training and development of our lawyers and consultants. While there are many things that set Westwyn apart from other firms, the key to our success has always been our unparalleled commitment to the recruitment, training and retention of the nation’s best legal talent. Our open assignment system allows each attorney to choose the practice areas and matters on which they work. This entrepreneurial approach yields higher levels of commitment, morale and success in all of our core practices.

If you wish to be part of our dynamic team, you may be interested in applying for our Foreign Legal / International Consultant (FLIC) Program. Training to provide you with the basic skills and knowledge to start your legal career and comprehensive on-the-job training as you work on transactions under the supervision of our partners and associates are key features of the Program.
