A&O pledges Singapore growth despite Allen & Gledhill setback

Further questions for Wim Dejonghe: 1) How do you expect to grow in Singapore? 2) Is it really worth it? I question whether these mammoth firms really need to be everywhere in the modern age. Surely opening offices just adds costs that will no doubt be passed onto the client. Wouldn't it be better to rationalise the geographical spread and send lawyers to these countries as and when they are needed? Can anybody tell me what the necessity is?
