I spent 15 years at one of the Big Four firms, where I was a partner specialising in commercial litigation and arbitration. As a Director at Covenant Chambers, I now combine big firm expertise and sophistication with the agility and flexibility of a chambers model.

I pride myself on being a savvy, tenacious, and persuasive litigator. I consider it a privilege to advocate on behalf of my clients. I find effective, commercial, and cost-efficient solutions for my clients.

My practice has a particular focus on complex and cross-border commercial disputes, particularly those involving technology-related issues. I am regularly called upon for matters involving B2B disputes, shareholder agreements, minority oppression, directors' duties, and employment issues.

I appear as lead counsel:

• at all levels of the Supreme Court and State Courts of Singapore;

• in international arbitrations, having handled arbitrations in Singapore (involving Japanese, Hong Kong, Indonesian, Indian, and Malaysian parties), Vietnam and New York; and

• in mediation sessions for international and domestic disputes. 

I am a seasoned advocacy trainer who sits on the Advocacy Committee, a Standing Committee under the Law Society of Singapore. I regularly conduct advocacy training as lead trainer, has been invited to conduct training overseas, and is also involved in train-the-trainer sessions.

My advocacy skillset is not limited to the courtroom. I am a certified Mediation Advocate under the International Mediation Institute. My competence in mediation advocacy theory and practice allows my clients’ complicated disputes to be permanently resolved without the risk of unexpected outcomes before tribunals.

I author the "Legal Profession" chapter for the Singapore Academy of Law Annual Review of Singapore Cases, an annual conspectus that encapsulates and evaluates decisions of the Singapore courts in the preceding year.

Clients say that I give advice that is “as real and material as possible”, am “highly innovative in [my] approach”, set out “a clear approach toward resolving challenging situations, simplifying discussions on complex matters”, am “very professional and savvy”, act with “great integrity and professionalism”, and put client interests “at the forefront at all times”.

Other lawyers say that I have a “confident and persuasive” advocacy style, am “diligent, responsible, thoughtful", approach problems with "a clinical precision”, am “personable, astute and a real fighter you would love to have on your side”, am as “industrious as [I am] sharp”, and am a “fair and courteous opponent”.
