IBA, The Fundamentals of International Legal Business Practice, March 18th, 2015 (Singapore)

Caroline Berube participated in a young lawyer training program which took place in Singapore and was a speaker at the “Roundtable Discussion- Career Models for Young Lawyers in the Modern Law Firm.” The traditional career model for law firms of either becoming a partner or leaving the firm appears to have become less attractive. Has the career model for young lawyers changed in Asia? Will modern law firms in the future have non-partner lawyers who are successfully involved in client work on a permanent basis? What are the pros and cons of introducing such alternative models in Asia? All of these issues were addressed during the session.
