To get back to the point of this thread - SG lawyer at a US firm here. Happy to help juniors if they have any questions.

Hi, thanks for offering. UK trainee at MC firm looking to lateral back to asia in the long run.

Are the US firms in SG boxed into certain practice areas? (Browsing through skaddden, ropes, shearman, Sidley etc.) Which do you think will be hot a few years down the road?

Also, do you get the NY level pay or is it cut down? I've heard Latham SG/Russia? (lmao) didn't get the NY 180K pay rise that other jurisdictions (incl. Ldn, HK) did.

Finally, any chance of laterals getting COLA? (even if native, thanks).
