Good paymaster, nice office but there are toxic people - Paralegal CSQLaw Employee Review

The office decor is refreshing. Partners are generally approachable and most colleagues are easy-going. Adequate amount of work life balance for a law firm

Management is hay-wired, lack of systematic flow and camaraderie between partners and staffs. Managing Partner has lack of technical knowledge and working level familiarity to the works instructed, thus lacking in empathy and practical knowledge on the issues at hand. Further making knowledge sharing and execution of work challenging. Too much office politics, not proportionate to the number of employees. Staffs are made to perform works outside of jobscope, without proper remunerations and appreciations.

The office is very modern and nice. The people are very supportive and friendly. The location itself is quite strategic.

Spent my time for about more than week at this law firm. Thankfully I didn't file my papers so hastily. The most significant issue that was the deal breaker for me as a pupil was there was no mentorship from my master at all. While I understand that it is important for us pupils to be left to learn all by ourselves, my master, one of the partners didn't even seem to want to be involved with me. There was no feedback for any task being done and there was no communication initiated by them. Another issue that I had working here was that during my contact with their HR manager before working there, I was told that I would be able to do litigation works subject to a rotation decided by them. When I came in the portfolios of the litigation works were not as diverse and there weren't much of them too and thus, I was told to spend my time only doing one type of work.
