For Singaporean lawyers working at international firms that require dual qualification, are they required to maintain that other jurisdiction's practising cert? Or can they just practice (transactions, e.g. m&a) as a Singapore qualified lawyer, but simply be admitted to e.g. E&W (i.e. no need to maintain practising cert from E&W)?

Linguistically, qualified to practise is different from practising (which would require holding a PC). So I think that answers your first question.
For your second question, are there actually firms that require dual qualifications? I have seen ads that require English qualification but not seen any example you are referring to.
