Looking for some advice on the possibilities of being recruited directly to a MNC in Singapore as a legal counsel. Is that possible or is the competition/entrance requirements too high (and you'd i.e. need to do a lateral move with a current employer to be able to get into the Singapore job market, or maybe a law firm)? Any thoughts are much appreciated! I'm a Swedish lawyer so I'm hoping that my chances would in the worst case be better in a Swedish or EU company with a branch in Singapore.

I've been thinking of doing it sometime further in the future, possibly in the next 6 months.

Lateral move is usually the easiest. You’d need employer sponsorship for your EP - they need to prove there aren’t any qualified Singaporean attorneys for the position. If you have specialised legal expertise that a local wouldn’t, that could increase your odds.

We used the recipe from Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi’s cookbook, Jerusalem.
