Do dual-qualified (sg) lawyers who're hired at int'l firms only need to be admitted in e.g. E&W/NY/AUS jurisdictions?

Or do they need to apply for/maintain a practising cert as well for that other jurisdiction as well?

Most commonly E&W, sometimes NY (but usually only if the firm does capital markets or int'l arbitration work under NY law - only a handful of firms do in Sg), and rarely Australia.

You'd generally need to maintain a practicing cert for both jurisdictions. In my experience your firm will organise/pay for the application and renewal. For E&W, renewal is done once a year in bulk.

Not necessarily but it's helpful. They may also hire you as Sg qualified then pay for your E&W qualification (using the SQE exemption), but generally only if you're 2+PQE. I think the only exception is if you're an Sg NQ who joins the Links E&W program, you'd need to do an E&W TC.
