Events

SCCA Legal Eagle Challenge is Singapore’s first in-house counsel competition for law students and is back for its third year. Participants will again assume the role of a General Counsel in a realistic simulation of the work done by in-house counsels every day.

As a law student, you would have learnt about the different types of corporate entities in Singapore in your first few years of law school. See how this book knowledge comes to life in this case scenario where you will be the General Counsel of a fictional Energy Solutions Provider (“Energy Co”). Energy Co is looking to participate in an overseas project and Energy Co’s board of directors wants your thoughts on the ideal corporate structure, ESG issues and dispute resolution mechanisms.
