Hill Dickinson LLP

Partner

Bachelor of Law (Hons) from the National University of Singapore Qualified as an Advocate and Solicitor (Singapore) in 2007 Qualified as a Solicitor (England and Wales) in 2016

Trained at Oon & Bazul LLP from 2006, and practiced as an associate from qualification in May 2007 to August 2010.

Joined Hill Dickinson’s Singapore office in August 2010 as an Associate, and following promotions to Senior Associate and then Legal Director, I became a Partner in May 2018.

My practice covers both contentious and non-contentious matters. My transactional and ship sale and purchase practice has grown substantially in recent years, both independently and together with the growth of the firm’s transactional practices in Greece and Hong Kong. I also have a dispute resolution practice, in which I focus on commodities and dry shipping. I constantly advise on everything from run-of-the-mill demurrage disputes to the latest global issues affecting trade, such as trade restrictions imposed on the import/export of cargo, delay and force majeure issues arising as a result of the ongoing wars and extreme weather events. Sanctions and risk assessment of counterparties has also been an increasing part of my practice in recent times.

I am recognised as an Accredited Specialist in Maritime and Shipping Law by the Singapore Academy of Law (currently in the process of being renewed) and was empanelled on the Singapore Chamber of Maritime Arbitration’s Panel of Arbitrators in 2021. I have published several awards to date and continue to receive regular appointments as arbitrator. I have acted as arbitrator under the SCMA rules, SIAC rules (both under the standard and expedited procedure) and in ad hoc arbitrations seated in Singapore.

I am also regularly asked to speak at industry events. I moderated a discussion panel at last years’ 6th Capital Link Seminar in Singapore on Geopolitical and Regulatory Risks from an Owners’ Perspective. Earlier this year, I also participated as a Debater at APIEX – SCMA DEBATE 2025: This House Believes That A Maritime Expert Who Previously Conducted Investigations Should Only Be A Witness Of Fact, Not An Expert Witness.

I currently serve on the Advisory Board of the Centre for Maritime Law.
