Per below article, 1st year qualified lawyers are drawing c. 70k pounds or c. S$145k pa, approx S$12k per month.

So may not be so inaccurate.

Freshfields tops the charts of highest paying Magic Circle firms. | Legal and Recruitment News for the Asian Market
UK firms tend to pay more in UK, than they do in Singapore. Same with American firms. e.g. White & Case in USA starts at USD160k. But White & Case in Singapore starts at SGD100k. Has to do with the prevailing market rates of the local firms. Local firms in Singapore all start ard 4k - 5.5k. So naturally, the intl firms don't need to pay >8k.
