“I have been at the forefront of key Singapore Court decisions and will leave no stone unturned in finding sound and practical solutions for my clients.”

I have appeared at all levels of the Singapore Courts (including as lead counsel arguing my own applications), as well as in arbitrations conducted under various rules. I have experience of obtaining various injunctive relief (including anti-suit and freezing injunctions), disclosure orders, and frequently advise on post-judgment / post-award enforcement, within Singapore and beyond. 

My experience has placed me at the forefront of key decisions in Singapore, including a decision by the Singapore International Commercial Court on a novel time-bar issue in a challenge against an arbitral award, and a decision by the Appellate Division on injunctions to restrain a demand on a letter of credit. Clients want me on their legal team not only for my acumen, but also because I leave no stone unturned in finding a solution to their problems. 

I previously practised with a ‘Big 4’ firm in Singapore, where I also completed a secondment to a reputable set of barrister’s chambers in London. Prior to my career in private practice, I was a financial crimes prosecutor working on various high-profile prosecutions of corruption, market misconduct, and complex fraud offences.
