    Aug 2023
    Kuala Lumpur1 to 2 years in the role, former employee
    Good Learning Opportunity
    The good thingsGood learning opportunity from working in litigation; exposure to high profile cases; polish your research, drafting skills, diligence and meticulousness; good library and online resources; associates get along well; socializing events available; Suitable for fresh graduates who are determined, passionate for a career in litigation and accept challenges as a part of their journey.
    The challengesChallenges dealing with different supporting departments; working beyond your billed hours, work stress and lack of flexibility; the system for knowledge sharing can be improved; open workspace, central AC will be turned off after 5pm; Your overall experience will vary from working in different teams, whether the salary is worth the challenges is subjective.

    Good place to learn
    The good thingsThere are plenty of opportunities for self-development, and the firm gives you the space and facilities to grow. Partners are also supportive of your growth in the firm.
    The challengesPartners might be too busy to guide you step-by-step. You may have to figure out the ropes yourself at the beginning.

    Legal assistant / lawyer
    Oct 2015
    1 to 2 years in the role, former employee
    Useful Learning Experience
    The good thingsI enjoyed the people and the attempt to make the firm feel more like a family than just a place to work. They pay on time, make it clear what is expected from you on a general level. Working in litigation, the biggest resource to draw on, besides the law library and their database for samples, is the people who have much to offer in terms of practical advice and ideas.
    The challengesWorking in general banking litigation, the prospects for career advancement was grim, and the turnover was very high. The year I entered was a record year for people leaving the firm. I was handed over 200 files without being given any guidance as to how to deal with old matters.

    Horrible work place
    The good thingsMy direct report was the Managing Partner. He was a good and reasonable boss but he has since left the firm as well.
    The challengesSupport staff were treated as third class citizens. A very obvious class distinction & there was no mingling or social interaction between the partners and the staff. Horribly demoralising. The partners treated lawyers like they were gold; But would refuse any advise from the Heads of Depts even though they were top professionals in their field. In 2 years, they had 4 different heads of HR.
