The Human Story Behind Legal Excellence
My practice is built on over 25 years of experience in principled advocacy, rooted in the mission to demystify complex law and guide you toward compassionate, practical resolution. I am passionate about ensuring that individuals receive clear, compassionate, and high-quality legal advice.
As an Advocate and Principal Mediator, I approach every case with the understanding that complex legal matters are fundamentally human stories. My mission is to guide clients toward the most practical, sustainable, and principled resolution possible.
A Foundation of Expertise and Advocacy
My legal practice is built on a strong, time-tested foundation, ensuring you have a knowledgeable voice in your corner.
- Seasoned Advocate: I have over 25 years of experience in dispute resolution across all levels of the Singapore Court hierarchy.
- International Qualification: I was called to the English Bar in 1996 (Middle Temple) and admitted as an Advocate and Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Singapore in 1998.
- Practice Focus: My expertise spans Employment Law, Family Law, and Negligence Claims (both professional and personal injury)
Resolution & Mediation
The Commitment to Resolution:
Principal Mediator
I believe that the most robust and sustainable legal solution is often the one where the parties retain control over the outcome. As a Principal Mediator with the Singapore Mediation Centre, I am dedicated to facilitating dialogue and guiding you past the adversarial noise to find a common path forward. My extensive experience in both the courtroom and the mediation room gives me a unique perspective on achieving practical resolutions that truly serve my clients’ long-term interests.

Life Outside the Firm
While my work as an Advocate and Mediator is deeply rewarding, I know firsthand that striking a balance between professional demands and personal life is often challenging. As a mother of three, my perspective is grounded in the understanding that navigating life’s complexities, legal or otherwise—requires effort and support.
I find deep joy in both my work and my family, but I acknowledge that balance is rarely perfect and never achieved alone. It truly takes a village. I credit a strong support network, my trusted colleagues, and the community for helping me navigate the demands of both spheres with resilience and grace.
This personal experience reinforces my professional belief that successful resolution requires empathy, patience, and a human touch. I aim to bring that grounded, holistic perspective into every consultation and case I handle.
