Chambers names A&G S'pore law firm of the year
Big Four keep their perch in face of competition from foreign firms
[SINGAPORE] Despite the growing competition posed by international law firms here that was evident in the highly anticipated Chambers and Partners' legal rankings out today, the Big Four local firms managed to hold on to their dominant position in key areas of Singapore law.
The increasing presence of international law firms here - a result of the liberalisation of Singapore's legal sector in recent years - found its way into the rankings, with more mentions of these international players.
Of the local law firms, Allen & Gledhill (A&G) took the top honours this year. It was conferred the National Singapore Law Firm of the Year award for 2014, from a shortlist that included Drew & Napier, Rajah & Tann, WongPartnership and Stamford Law.
