Indian salaries rocket as UK firms poach talent

Re Gordon B and What Competence Gordon B - what a ridiculous, prejudiced comment - what are you doing responding to this article in the first place? Clearly you are better off airing your frustrations on other more suitable publications. Since when has the state of a country's health system and poverty had any bearing on the competece of the legal market? I hardly think that the UK's rise in gun crime, teenage murders, teenage pregnancy and binge drinking culture in anyway reflects the competence of the UK's legal market. And anyone would be ridiculed for suggesting otherwise. Each country has its own problems (please don't be so blighted as to think that the UK does not have serious social and economic issues) but this has no bearing on the legal market that is being discussed in this article. Your ignorance and prejudice is astounding. You will also find that lawyers in India are highly educated and very likely speak better English that most people in the UK. Not only are Indian lawyers well versed on legal issues both from inside and outside of their jurisdiction they generally don't suffer from the arrogance and stupidity you have displayed. I think you will find that the legal market is booming in India and that Indian firms are so far the main beneficiary of this growth. I would not worry yourself about good communication skills and excellent judgment - since you have neither, it is clear you would not recognise such qualities in any event.
