Lawyer Salary

It’s not top of the market, but it is very competitive and can live a very good life. Not difficult to move out of government into even international firms directly. Know of many psc scholars who have moved directly to international firms doing a range of different things - investigations, arbitration.

But your son must be committed to public service. At the start, hours are long, learning curve is very steep. The only way to get through that is understanding that he’s contributing to a bigger cause.

Whatever option he takes, wish you and your son best of luck.

Couple of things to note:

1. There are many scholars (and JLCs) around so progression is very competitive.
2. Scholars can move out into private practice (disputes), but most of them will have to break bond, as 6 years in the public sector pushing it in terms of relevant exp. If you don't want to break bond, have to move ASAP after 6 years.

But if the scholar started with two years of JLC that would be fine right

Hi, does anyone here know the NQ pay for K&L Gates Straits Law? I have asked around and can't seem to find any information regarding pay with the firm. Thanks in advance!

B4: 7-7.5

BMWL: 9.5

As a side note, Andre Maniam rejoins wongp(???) A quick search on the court hearing website showing him representing one of the Dfs on 26 Nov? What is odd is that there is no announcement by wongp and the court website still lists him as a HC judge.
