Would that make it easier to "build a book" as compared to doing arbi in an intl firm?

I suppose one thing to clarify here is that making “partner” in a local firm is quite different from that in international firms. Junior partners in local firms (especially those who are freshly minted) are more akin to counsel level folks in international firms - probably in skill, and responsibility.

You’re right in that Singapore litigation is a protected practice area. Barriers to competition do make it easier for local practitioners to practice their craft, but bear in mind that Singapore is a ****ing small market. International firms can target international clients. Granted that a bigger pond doesn’t necessarily mean easier pickings (vice versa), so I’m not sure whether book building in a Singapore focused litigation practice is a lot easier. Also bear in mind that some international firms have Singapore qualified arms (I’m looking at you CC and BM…), so competition can get fierce.
