The primary reason why legal pay in SG has been stagnating in a stunted rate/increasing negligibly is because of the restrictions of foreign firms that can fully develop in the market. That’s why they have FLAs set up. Look at other common law jurisdictions (HK/AUS/UK), they have a liberalisation of foreign firms and hence local firms have to follow a certain pay grade as the salary market moves as a whole. There is nothing to entice SG local firms, which mainly dominate the SG legal market, to increase pay.
