Once a year legal career fair organised by Pupils’ Welfare Committee of KL Bar is back.
Based on the statement made by Reggie Wong Mew Sum, the chairperson of the said committee at KL Bar Blog: “There were 617 law graduates who began pupillage in the year 2008. There are about 2,061 legal firms in Kuala Lumpur alone. Many of these firms are constantly on the lookout for placement for new law graduates and even opportunity to recruit new lawyers. The opportunity for legal firms to meet law graduates and potential pupils is limited and likewise for graduates and new lawyers meeting practitioners. The competition, undeniably, is stiff. With this in mind, the Pupils’ Welfare Committee (PWC) is pleased to organise the 2nd Legal Career Fair to create a platform, hopefully to resolve these recurring employment problems as best as it can.”
This time participating law firms number are coincidentally the same as last year, however, we notice that some of the law firms skip this round and we also glad to see some new faces, they are Alex Chang & Co, Azim Tunku Farik & Wong, Azman Davidson, Halim Hong & Quek, Kamilah & Chong, PS Ranjan, Paul Ong & Associates, Ram Reza & Muhammad, Thomas Philip and a non law firm KPMG.
