Career

Cheryl is a Director with the Corporate & Finance Department in Drew & Napier.

Her key areas of practice are Telecommunications, Media & Technology (TMT), and Administrative & Public Law.

Before joining the firm in 2022, Cheryl was a State Counsel/Legislative Drafter in the Legislation Division of the Attorney-General’s Chambers (Singapore’s national law drafting office). For 8 years, she has advised Ministries and Statutory Boards on their policies, helping them to manage the legal risks of their policies, and proposing alternatives where the legal risk is high. She drafts the necessary legislation which is then published if the policy also requires a change in the law.

Cheryl has advised on and drafted legislation across a wide variety of subjects, with a focus on transport, infrastructure, technology and civil procedure. She has drafted legislation for autonomous vehicles, and was part of a delegation studying the potential and the safeguards for use of artificial intelligence in decision-making in Singapore.

Cheryl is also familiar with leading and organising projects, having successfully worked with internal and external stakeholders to deliver a significant national project – the 2020 Revised Edition of Acts – Singapore’s largest revision of laws to date, spanning 510 Acts with 27,000 pages.

Prior to becoming a Legislative Drafter, Cheryl was a Deputy Public Prosecutor. Cheryl graduated from the National University of Singapore and was placed third in the 2012 Singapore Bar Examinations.
