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.
