Singapore law firms offering up to S$10,000 in pay to snare new, junior lawyers
They face fierce competition from startups, unicorns for legal talent amid border curbs
Singapore
COMPETITION from international rivals, multinational corporations and startups paying top dollar for junior lawyers has driven some local law firms to raise the game - and pay - for this group of legal practitioners, while other law firms are keenly monitoring the development.
Boutique firm TSMP Law is offering S$7,000 a month to newly qualified lawyers who have just been called to the Bar, a rate that its joint managing partner Stefanie Yuen Thio has described as "market-leading". It is restructuring its pay scale to attract the best young legal talent, she added.
