2019 has been another year of growth for Singapore’s legal sector as 11 firms reported increases in their lawyer count. The total number of lawyers in Singapore Business Review’s annual Legal Industry Survey of the 22 largest law firms hit 3,008, up 2.66% YoY from 2,930 in 2018.
Allen & Gledhill retained its top spot as its headcount grew from 378 to 405. This was followed by Rajah & Tann Singapore LLP, with a lawyer count of 376; WongPartnership at 324; Drew & Napier at 269; and Dentons Rodyk & Davidson LLP at 209.
Firms such as TSMP Law, Baker McKenzie and Dentons Rodyk & Davidson all shared that they raised their headcounts to keep up with the increasing demand around dispute resolution and cross-border or M&A transactions. Singapore’s rising attractiveness as a leading dispute resolution hub has urged the government in 2019 to push this further.
