    SEVERAL well-known law firms in Singapore, including one of the Big Four, have imposed pay cuts across the board - a move not seen in previous crises.

    Dentons Rodyk and Big Four firm WongPartnership are among the largest law firms here that have announced firm-wide wage cuts, with both doing so by stripping out lawyers' "front-loaded" bonuses.
