Training Pledge
AFFIRM YOUR COMMITMENT TO INVESTING IN THE NEXT GENERATION
Why Pledge
Empowering Growth
A structured commitment to training ensures that lawyers at all stages of their careers remain equipped to handle the complexities of modern practice.
Strengthening the Profession
By prioritizing professional development, we collectively raise the bar for legal standards in Singapore.
Future-Proofing Legal Teams
In an era of rapid technological change, training is no longer optional—it is essential for staying competitive.
At SAL, we believe that continuous learning is the cornerstone of a thriving legal profession. The pace of change in today’s world—driven by technology, globalisation, and evolving client demands—requires legal professionals to constantly hone their skills and adapt to new challenges.
Our Training Pledge is an invitation to the legal community to join us in building a future-ready profession. By signing the pledge, law firms and in-house legal teams commit to investing in the professional development of their lawyers. This includes supporting junior lawyers through programmes like the Junior Lawyers Professional Certification Programme (JLP), which equips them with essential technical, ethical, and leadership skills.
Firms/legal teams who sign the pledge before 30 April 2025 can enjoy these benefits:
- Every 5th participant can attend the JLP for free with every 4 paying JLP participants (this offer can be utilised in subsequent years).
- 10% discount off selected training workshops (until 31 Dec 2026).
This is a voluntary commitment, designed to inspire a flexible approach to professional development while encouraging a culture of lifelong learning within the legal profession.
Take the pledge today and join SAL in shaping a profession that is innovative, resilient, and future-ready.
On behalf of [law firm/legal team], we hereby pledge our commitment to fostering a thriving legal profession—one that upholds the highest standards of service, ethics, and sustainable practices. At [name of organisation], we affirm our responsibility to empower our legal professionals to excel and maximise their impact through the following actions:
Investing in continuous training and development
We recognise that excellence in legal practice demands relentless growth. To this end, we will:
Dedicate resources: Allocate an annual training budget for every legal professional in our organisation, underscoring our belief in the value of continuing development. This may include enrolling junior lawyers in programmes such as the SAL Junior Lawyers Professional Certification Programme (JLP), which equips them with essential, future-ready skills.
Protect time for growth: Actively adjust workloads to ensure our legal professionals have the bandwidth to pursue development without compromise.
Provide targeted training opportunities: Implement strategic training initiatives aligned with internal or national competency frameworks, such as the LIFTED framework recognised by SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG), that empower our team to stay ahead in a rapidly evolving legal landscape.
Champion expertise: Encourage and support legal professionals in achieving specialisation through schemes like SAL’s specialist accreditation and honing leadership and management skills through initiatives like the INSEAD or Business of Law programmes.
