The
number of lawyers looking to work through a NewLaw* firm
(*alternatively Law Company of Alternative Legal Services Provider) has
increased across all the major common law jurisdictions including Hong
Kong and Singapore. The reason? Flexibility. The ability to choose your
working hours and clients is a career benefit no one should ignore.
Hong Kong is well-known across Asia for its ‘work hard, play hard’
culture, although increasingly for many it seems to lean more towards
the “work hard” side. Long hours and a workaholic culture are starting
to become the norm in our “hustle and bustle” city, as seen earlier this
year when the South China Morning Post reported
that Hong Kong had the longest working hours out of 71 cities, with
“tens of thousands of people working 75 hours a week”.
On
average each week, Hong Kong employees are spending over 50 hours at
their workplace, which is 38% more than the world average. This is one
reason why NewLaw firms are becoming an increasingly popular ‘home’ for
lawyers. The flexible work schedule is very appealing in particular to
women and trailing spouses in those cities with a long working hours
culture such as Hong Kong, Singapore, London and New York. The ability
to choose your working hours and clients, step away from permanent
employee status, and yet still earn a competitive salary are hugely
attractive to an increasing number of lawyers.
Negotiating
a work-life balance which is right for you is important both for your
physical and mental health as well as family life. Your time is
valuable. Use it wisely, consider a career in NewLaw. If you would like
