corp lawyers are smarter. Either they're smart enough to keep their mouth shut and quietly bill their rich clients, or they look at banks and realise they're in fact charging peanuts compared to bankers

It's the litigators who always go looking for trouble and have the loudest mouths. These cjc people have this strange and warped misconception that lawyers are always overcharging the poor man in the street. This scale costs reform is a prime example of trying to fix a non existent problem.

The truth is, legal services on the whole is bloody cheap in Singapore. If you can't afford to shop at fairprice finest, go to sheng siong! It's really that simple!

Actually if you look at the loonies from the bar, the vast majority of them are litigators. I suppose having delusions of grandeur is a self selective trait in litigation
