Singaporean and Australian laws are not only derived from British law, but also follow the common law tradition. In recent years and even after Brexit, UK law has been more influenced by EU law and countries that follow the civil law tradition.  Australian law tends to look towards the US system for precedent, making Australian-trained lawyers more attuned to the impact of US law on international commercial transactions and trade law.

Australian-trained lawyers hold a strong career track record in international law firms because they are renowned for efficiently applying their technical knowledge in their practice. Georgia Dawson, a Sydney alumna and Senior Partner at Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer in the UK, openly expresses her preference for recruiting Australia-trained lawyers.

Since Australia is part of the Asia-Pacific, Australian lawyers actively engage with legal professions in the region. There is even an annual conference for judges from Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia.
