trainee solicitor or associate/full attorney
Posted: Thu Jun 07, 2012 5:27 pm
there have been a couple of threads about working in biglaw offices in Asia.
say, you are admitted to new york / california but not UK or HK/singapore.
if you work at the london/hk/singapore office of a US firm, will you get the full attorney salary or the 'trainee solicitor' salary?
will you get the full attorney salary only after you also get admitted to the UK/hk/singapore/wherever bar?
I wouldn't mind getting paid at the local salary (which isn't bad, e.g. in UK the salary is not much lower for newly qualified lawyers)
