Ah yes, it's become a proper law firm.. and yet it's still loving referred to as Baker Macdonald's in 2022. Legit siol.

It's funny that you can't tell the different between Sri Lankan and Indian. I dare you to call a Sinhalese an Indian. You'd be beaten to a pulp.

Must have gotten your undergrad from some delisted UK uni that couldn't even teach general knowledge, let alone law.

Agree. This guy is horribly racist.

but heard they longer have lockstep system
changed to grading system, grades 1 to 7

Cries from delisted grads in B5

Let’s focus on the really important stuff. What are your thoughts on the OLY speeches or the SC appointments this year?

Our law president saying he does not know why Lawyers are leaving the industry in such large numbers was ROFL. It's because billable hours have gone up, too many fat cats are at the top, wages have been depressed too long and lawyers are being slave-driven to new heights year on year. It's not bloody rocket science. Pay us higher and give us less work you dingbat.

His contradictory speech about how lawyers now are constantly connected, and have pressures of being constantly on the job, while simultaneously "shaming" lawyers for not "being married to their jobs" and saying that younger lawyers now want "family time" is also laughable. Oh no, it's unimaginable for my young Assocs to want to have a life, what will happen to the Partners' pockets if we can't oppress our Assocs for gain?

Also, this puts to rest the false notion of a glut. 697 lawyers were called last year, and 538 lawyers left the profession, meaning that there was only an increase of 150-odd lawyers to the profession. There is going to be an undersupply soon (which is already happening now - see the increase in salaries and the difficulties for medium sized firms to find assocs). I wonder just how much more of a undersupply would happen once Part B starts becoming harder.

Underpaid. Not enough dignity in the words of our esteemed politicians.

must be an ignoramus
Sri Lankans are very very different from Indians .

I have worked with a number of Sri Lankans before and have found them pleasant to work with and humble(they have no caste system there)
