In his first public speech since the announcement of his appointment, incoming fifth Chief Justice of Singapore Sushil Nair said that he is committed to ensuring the sustainability of the legal profession.
Mr Nair said that while the practice of law, especially at the high end, is inevitably demanding, it is incumbent on the leaders of law firms to appreciate and consider the issues faced by young lawyers.
He said: “Harassment and bullying are an unacceptable red line, whether in the context of the work environment or in the way lawyers are treated in court.”
