UK and US law students only. Forget about applying with your "rigorous" and "prestigious" NUS/SMU degree.

Ho ho, here we go again. All the petty bickering between locals and UK grads while AI and cecas (outsourcing) steal our jobs.

Uh it's a simple question really - all I'm asking for is whether anyone knows the starting salary at L&W? I hear that CC's pay is approx 12k p.m. for NQs (after 2 year TC). There's no need for anyone to bring up the comparison between overseas and local grads.

Yo I heard from someone who works... or at least used to work there that it depends whether you are a US/UK/SG graduate. Numbers for 1st year associates (USD):

US = 190k/annum starting pay
UK = slightly less, idk maybe 180k?
SG = Even less, but by just a small bit, maybe 170k?


Fwiw i'm in a law school in the states now, hoping to take that US path (though I'm also exploring other options, seems like lawyers aren't really a happy bunch...), so at the very least I know that number for US associates is correct for sure. You can check it out at their vault website too at ://.vault.com/company-profiles/law/latham-watkins-llp/company-overview


I've also heard that if you're a local grad, the usual route to get into a MC/White Shoe firm is to lateral after a few years of working in a decent local firm (doesn't have to be big4, can be Rodyk or other firms too).


Here's wishing you all the best ya! Hopefully you can get in and be a kindly senior to me if I'm lucky enough to join you in the future too!

What are u smoking bro

Nobody here has said nus or smu is more prestigious than UK or us law schools save for the crap second tier ones.

But more rigorous is true.

Intelligence doesn't correlate with prestige. Just ask any PhD holder

Uh why don't you get the TC and find out Since you sound as if you're capable of getting both to be asking this question

^ again, an entirely useless response. It's likely that you were rejected by both but you don't have to be so bitter about it. Pretty sure you're going nowhere with that kind of attitude.

Also, I'll have you know that these firms don't disclose their starting salaries (after TC) to the trainees in their initial contract. I'm looking for a ballpark figure by assocs who qualified this year and dont mind sharing what their new contracts show wrt remuneration.

u talk v big for a guy who doesnt even have a TC hor! word of advice kid: be less defensive and sensitive la. your kind of attitude sure kena eaten up in the firms you're looking to work at. ppl troll you on anonymous forum and u 1x extrapolate how they're rejected by firms lol. but ofc all im saying is prolly worthless since som law kid on the interwebz is 80% says i don't work in a MC/US firm yea
