Clifford Chance offers voluntary sabbaticals to Singapore lawyers

Comment

@ Asian Crash I suspect that the expansion of many UK & US firms into Singapore and east Asia, over the last 3 years, has been triggered by market recession and consolidation in the western markets - more of a push effect outwards. Seduced by the seeming inexorable rise of China and the ASEAN economies it would appear, in many cases, due regard for the business fundamentals has been ignored. Employing western lawyers in Asia is an expensive business and if your capacity levels and pricing are out of sync with local demand, firms are in for an expensive shock and excessive cash burn. As Macmillan once observed 'Events, dear boy events.'
