Thanks. Also the whole point of asking here is so that I can find out this stuff anonymously, it's kind of a tricky question to ask your friends... |
Hey guys, I saw in one of the earlier posts (way earlier - too much free time) that Shook Lin & Bok is a non-dispute focused firm. Is that true?
Additionally, any thoughts on the firm in relation to prestige, likelihood of lateralling to international firms and firm culture (e.g. hours and partners' reasonableness)? Thank you in advance! |

Disputes lateralling to international rarely happens outside of international arbi, which I dont think SLB is known for. |
I'm the poster of #4974 and was looking at the practice groups of Restructuring & Insolvency and Financial Services Regulatory, and was wondering if these groups would be considered disputes or advisory focused + the questions I stated in my earlier post.
Any thoughts on these would be super helpful! |

it can mean any small firm in toa payoh or chinatown, or firms set up by big firm partners doing "high class" work. tbh you want to learn as much as possible go to chinatown firms. depending on your boss, you can be fully running trials by 3rd year as some of my friends are. but whether you can accept the lack of prestige and lower pay is another question lor. |

PI is also disputes. Im refraining from mentioning firms/teams i have a bad impression of or had bad experiences with. I've had dealings with the construction team at Rodyk and they're pretty good. They also seem to treat their juniors pretty well. Turnover for the particular team i have in mind is super low - it's been 4 years and still the same 3 people. One of the disputes team (gen lit with focus on investment) at Khattar is also pretty decent- lots of court of appeal cases and reported cases. Turnover for this team is high, every year someone leaves. Was impressed with the trusts team at TSMP too (only worked with that team, no comment on the other teams). Small firms... i was pleasantly surprised by a few. Raymond Yeo (only does family), Tan Lee and partners, Ling Das and partners (construction matters, no comment on their other practice areas), Eugene Thuraisignam (criminal matters, no comment on their other practice areas) |
