"It’s about navigating uncertainty together — helping clients make sense of risk when things don’t go to plan."
"Trust underpins the (re)insurance sector. Each case is complex, shaped as much by people as by contracts. It’s about navigating uncertainty together — helping clients make sense of risk when things don’t go to plan.
Almost all the matters I advise on have an international dimension. Working in Singapore, that’s almost a given, and especially true in insurance, where cross-border issues are the norm, not the exception.
With a background in both Singapore and English law, I’m able to navigate cross-border advisory matters effectively. A big part of my role is staying ahead of the curve, spotting issues early and keeping the focus on what matters most to the client.
Clients tell me they value my calm, honest approach. I focus on being thorough, straightforward and practical, especially when the issues are complex or the stakes are high."
JP's recent work highlights:
Advising on a complex claim involving the destruction of semiconductor chips stored in a factory, across a heavily layered (re)insurance market.
Acting on a project for one of Asia’s largest shipyards, involving the construction of a next-generation wind turbine installation vessel.
Resolving a high-value claim arising from the botched handling of several million dollars’ worth of human tissue by a medtech company.
