Committee of Supply 2026 debate, Day 2: Cassandra Lee on strengthening Singapore’s legal sector
As Singapore reviews its regulatory framework for law practices and local-foreign collaborations, how does it intend to balance market forces with regulation to protect a Singapore core of legal talent? How will it ensure that local lawyers continue to access high-value international work? MP Cassandra Lee asked this in parliament on Friday (Feb 27). She also called for a sector-wide approach to job redesign in the age of AI and asked about plans to better support in-house legal counsels.
