I was admitted as an Advocate and Solicitor of the Supremene Court of Singapore in July 2018.

My main practice is in the field of matrimonial law. I have substantial experience representing clients in both contested and uncontested divorce proceedings.

My practice encompasses the full range of matrimonial and family law matters, including:

• Divorce and annulment proceedings

• Division of matrimonial assets

• Spousal and child maintenance

• Custody, care and control, and access issues

• Family violence matters and injunction applications

• Mediation and alternative dispute resolution

I adopt a pragmatic and solution-focused approach, seeking to resolve matters in a cost-effective and constructive manner while safeguarding my clients’ interests.

Where litigation is necessary, I advocate firmly and strategically. Where amicable resolution is possible, I guide my clients through negotiation and mediation to achieve durable outcomes that preserve relationships and minimise conflict.

My clients value my clear and practical advice, timely communication, and ability to navigate complex emotional and legal issues with professionalism and care.

I believe that divorce does not have to mean destruction. With the right guidance, it can be the start of rebuilding a life with greater peace, stability, and self-empowerment. My approach combines practical legal strategy with empathy and patience, ensuring that my clients feel heard and supported at every stage.
