1 year* my bad.

And I'm not sure, are the delisted schools currently recognised?

Hasn’t the delisting taken effect

How is the fashion sense of people working in big firms? Is it very strict

Chinatown firm can leave at 6?

What’s the exit options of Chinatown assocs doing gen lit?

i think there's still a buffer period though until they stop recognising these degrees

The frog in the well story is pretty silly.
For a vast majority of the sg lawyers, they are trained and produced locally to serve the needs of the sg domestic market, Chinatown, etc.
It’s that simple. Every country in the world produces lawyers to serve the needs of the domestic market first. How can we compare with other countries when their population size is 30-40M people or maybe even more.
Some local lawyers of course do exceptionally well with their FCH and Oxbridge masters, and so are able to move into the international firms before any of their peers (the 2:1 and 2:2) are able to. Some 2:2 do eventually make it to the bigger firms but only after the best has moved on to the magic circles or international firms.

Good luck. Heard the entry requirements are getting tougher and tougher.
Like fch/dean’s list and masters is a minimum qualification to have these days.
Even for their business school

So in a nutshell, Singapore domestic market majority is Chinatown work?? Equivalent of "high street" legal work in the UK.

Then our high finance sector is but a fraction of other 1st world countries.

Long story short, be an SME towkay best.
