Legal Intern

Company Description

Tradeweb is a global leader in electronic trading across asset classes. As financial markets become increasingly interconnected, our technology enables efficient, multi-asset trading on a global scale. We serve more than 3,000 clients in more than 85 countries, including many of the world’s largest banks, asset managers, hedge funds, insurers, corporations, and wealth managers. 

Creative collaboration and sharp client focus have helped fuel our organic growth. We facilitated average daily trading volume (ADV) of more than $2.8 trillion over the past four fiscal quarters, topping $3.3 trillion in ADV for the first quarter of 2026.

Since our IPO in 2019, Tradeweb has completed four acquisitions and doubled our revenues – and 2025 was our 26th consecutive year of record revenues.

Tradeweb plays a central role in modernizing market structure by developing innovative trading protocols, embedding analytics into execution, and building technology infrastructure that supports the convergence of traditional and digitally native financial markets. Tradeweb is a great place to work, recognized in 2025 by Forbes as one of America’s Best Companies and by U.S. News & World Report as one of the Best Financial Services Companies to Work For.

At Tradeweb, we believe some of the best ideas come from looking at challenges with a fresh perspective. During your internship, you’ll be encouraged to explore how AI and emerging technologies can be applied within your area of the business. Whether through dedicated project work or your day-to-day responsibilities, you’ll have opportunities to think differently, challenge existing processes, and contribute ideas that can help shape how we work in the future.

The Opportunity

As a Legal intern, you’ll gain experience in an in-house legal environment at a global financial technology firm. You’ll work with colleagues across Legal, technology and business teams, and take part in a programme that combines structured learning with project-based work.

You’ll receive guidance from colleagues at different levels of the organization and have opportunities to build relationships across the firm and with your fellow interns through group projects and activities.

To be eligible for the Tradeweb Summer Internship, you must:

• Be pursuing an undergraduate law degree at a Singapore university and be in your penultimate or final year of study.
• Be available to work on-site at Tradeweb’s Singapore office for nine weeks, from 7 June to 6 August 2027.

• Be able to manage multiple projects and priorities.
• Work well as part of a team.
• Be curious to learn more about electronic trading and the structure of financial markets.

At the end of the internship, you may be considered for full-time employment to begin after you successfully complete your degree.
