“Clients like the fact I give them frank advice which is commercially focused.”

“Much of my practice is very international, and I have represented clients based in Indonesia, Malaysia, Korea, China, Papua New Guinea, and the US. Due to the small size of the Singapore market, having an international practice is crucial.

As I am practicing in commercial disputes, I do not really have a “typical client”. Right now, for instance, I am representing a US-based consultancy firm in the oil and gas industry, a commercial landlord, and a supplier in the construction industry.

I represent the client as both advocate and solicitor, as we do not instruct barristers in Singapore. I listen carefully to my clients, try my best to understand their concerns and objectives, and they like the fact that I give them frank advice which is commercially focused. When they decide to litigate, they know that I will do my best to help them win.”:
