Jessica has advised and acted for international banks and financial institutions, corporations and high-net-worth individuals in high-value, high-stakes, multi-jurisdictional matters across a broad range of commercial disputes spanning litigation before the Singapore Courts (including the Singapore International Commercial Court) and international arbitration under various arbitral rules. She has particular experience in banking and financial disputes as well as contentious cases involving fraud, asset recovery, freezing and proprietary injunctions, and enforcement of foreign judgments and arbitral awards.

Prior to joining the firm, Jessica trained and practiced at another leading Singapore law firm. She had internship stints with research think tanks in the fields of public international law, strategic philanthropy and energy security, government ministries in international dispute resolution and artificial intelligence policymaking, and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation on projects premised on a multilateral rules-based international order.

Apart from holding an LL.B. (Hons) from the National University of Singapore (NUS), Jessica also graduated with a B.Soc.Sci. (Hons) through the NUS Double Degree Programme. During her time at NUS, Jessica was a prize-winning mooter selected to represent her law school in four international moot court competitions. Besides serving on the Singapore Law Review Editorial Board, Jessica was also elected as the President of the NUS Law Pro Bono Group, in the capacity of which she spearheaded and advanced the student-led pro bono movement to create unparalleled impact domestically and internationally. In addition, she was appointed leadership roles in two regional non-profit organisations through which she contributed to causes related to youth diplomacy, global citizenship, intercultural competence and female empowerment.
