Would advise against spending 40k just for e-learning in the current climate.

CC makes partners. It's a well known fact. You go to any non-White Shoe international, the partner trained at CC

Also, I highly suggest he thinks twice. If he's a junior at A&G can he take long hours? Big 4 culture is generally bad. High pressure, short timelines, bosses can be bad depending on luck of the draw, like everywhere else. A lot of lawyers leave after a year or less. More leave after 2 years.
The ones who stay are the ones who can take the lifestyle

I'm not referring to any specific person or team, but the Big 4 generally. The question he has to ask is whether he can take a beating (metaphorically), and how long can he survive

Can he take 9 to 3am 7 days a week for a year? 3am is an OK estimate for normal days

I am familiar with CC, Linklaters and Slaughters May, but not the branches in SG. I've engaged them a lot in my line of work in Mergers & Acquisition (I lead M&A teams globally).

This is clearly a troll. First of all, what does "I lead M&A teams globally" even mean? If you're a lawyer who works in M&A, shouldn't you know yourself? Second, assuming you're on the finance or structuring side, if you are familiar with those firms you should definitely know lawyers from those firms. Wouldn't it be far better for you to seek advice from them rather than some random internet forum?
Please stop wasting everyone's time.

I'm almost certain CC's training in SG allows for SG/UK dual qualification. If this option is available, take it.
Good compromise between what you want and what your son wants. Also, good exit options.

Quite a no brainer. CC for sure.
