How are South African lawyers qualified, and how does Singularity vet them?
Admission as an attorney in South Africa is set by statute, not by us: an LLB degree, a period of practical vocational training, and board examinations, ending in admission to the High Court of South Africa. Every attorney Singularity places has cleared that bar.
Then our own vetting starts. Every candidate is scrutinised and interviewed by the lawyers on Singularity's team, not by recruiters, before they ever reach your shortlist. Lawyers screening lawyers.
The statutory qualification path
A South African attorney has completed a university law degree, served a period of structured practical vocational training, and passed board examinations before admission. It is a qualification route a UK lawyer would recognise immediately, and it produces lawyers trained in a common-law system that cites English authorities and drafts in English forms.
What Singularity's vetting adds
- A network of more than a thousand South African lawyers to search from, so shortlists are built candidate by candidate rather than from whoever is idle.
- Scrutiny and interviews conducted by the lawyers on Singularity's own team, judging candidates the way a hiring partner would.
- Vetting notes delivered alongside the CVs, so you see what we saw before you interview.
- A shortlist you can reject entirely. If nobody clears your bar, we go back to the market. You do not settle.
You still make the final call
Vetting narrows the field; it does not choose for you. You interview the shortlist the way you would interview any hire, and the person who joins your team is the person you picked. The search costs you nothing, and your first placement's first thirty days are at our risk, not yours.
