Hi all,
I'm thinking of getting either a LLB or JD from Hong Kong. I know is jurisdiction-specific and that Singapore does not accept law degrees from certain jurisdictions like HK to practise locally. I was wondering if anyone know what's the general climate like for someone who has a LLB/JD from HK and pursue a legal-related profession in Singapore, for instance as corporate advisors, etc, and not pursue a career as a solicitor/barrister. I know chances are slim and it's not exactly the wisest thing to do, but nevertheless I just want to find out more. Any advice will be much appreciated, thanks.
