Careers

Working at Donovan & Ho

Since the firm’s foundation in 2014, we have built a strong team of individuals who love and excel at what they do. One of our core values is “People“, because we are focused on building relationships, fostering teamwork and nurturing camaraderie. We don’t view our people as cogs in a machine, but rather the driving force behind every success of the firm. Our people and work environment make us truly a unique law firm and a great place to work. Behind everything we do is a simple understanding: we take care of our people because they take care of our clients.

 

The team at Donovan & Ho comprises people of various faiths and ethnicities. In the spirit of respect and appreciation of this diversity, our office interactions, social activities and outings always take into account the different cultural and religious sensitivities of our colleagues. We value the differences of every colleague that have contributed to our firm’s strengths, and have worked hard to establish a firm culture and working environment based on mutual trust and respect.

 

We also understand that for those who have taken a break to start a family or to care for loved ones, returning to the workforce can be difficult, especially in our rapidly changing profession. We recognise the value in this non- traditional talent pool and have engaged lawyers and other employees who are parents returning to the workforce, on specially crafted terms of service to cater for their specific need for flexible working arrangements.

“It is an absolute pleasure to work with like-minded professionals that are constantly striving to achieve excellence (while having fun at the same time!) The firm has given me great motivation to step out of my comfort zone and grow as a legal professional. For example, the partners would actively give me opportunities to conduct hearings, or examination of witnesses, which is an unparalleled learning experience for a junior litigator.”
– H.E. Leow, Associate
“Working at Donovan & Ho is a wonderful experience and I am constantly learning something new everyday. I get to learn from one of the best in the industry, in the area of law and work that I am passionate about. I feel that my current role is just the right fit for me; I find joy in what I do on a daily basis, and I am grateful because I know not many people get to experience that in life.”
– A. Fang, Associate
“I enjoy working in a team environment with a positive working culture. Donovan & Ho always supports us to grow professionally and personally. For example, the firm supported me in achieving my Masters in business administration while I was working.”
– N. Aiman, Administration Manager

“I was proud to be the first lawyer they hired. Working at Donovan & Ho felt like it was possible to have work life balance as a lawyer – it didn’t feel like I have to drag my feet to work everyday. The partners are intentional in ensuring our growth and development by carving out time to sit down with us – listening to our concerns, and discussing what we need in order to become a better lawyer or a better person. There was no hesitation in empowering anyone in the firm to champion for something that they believe in. ”
– J. Ong, Former Associate

“Donovan & Ho not only was a place that I built the foundation of my legal career, but it has taught me many valuable lessons that I still carry with me today. What stood out to me was how supportive the people were, and how the partners practiced an open-door policy. I was able to discuss my thoughts and ideas, or raise concerns about work, despite being a junior member of the firm.”
– N. Ng, Former Associate

“I always felt like I belonged, and the level of support and respect from my colleagues and the partners was exceptional. One aspect I truly appreciate is the opportunity to bounce ideas freely off the team, fostering a collaborative environment. The firm offers opportunities for us to grow and thrive, and the partners consistently encourage us to assume leadership roles. Since joining the firm, I’ve experienced significant personal and professional growth, and it’s been a very meaningful journey to me.”
– S. Lock, Senior Associate
“The firm has a very welcoming and friendly culture. We are always having gatherings to welcome new employees and celebrate festivities together. We have bosses that remember our important anniversaries and achievements even better than ourselves. To me that is very meaningful.”
– S. Baharuddin, Administration Executive
