Profile

Susan was admitted to the Singapore Bar in 1994 and began her career in civil litigation, corporate, and family law. This gave her a broad and grounded understanding of people, businesses, and the many ways law intersects with daily life. Her early work spanned trade and commerce, corporate, banking, employment, property, estates and trust matters.

She later joined a boutique Singapore law firm specialising in asset and wealth management, where she advised fund managers, trustees, and financial advisers on structuring and marketing investment funds. Her work also covered applications under the fund management, financial advisory, insurance, and company law frameworks, and advising on licensing, compliance, and cross-border regulatory issues.

In 2003, Susan became Legal Counsel at a global fund house, overseeing legal matters across Asia. Working closely with management and various internal teams, she gained deep insight into the fund management business. She supported product launches in multiple markets and helped manage compliance, policy implementation, staff training, complaints, and audits. She also oversaw joint ventures, balancing legal and reputational risks with a steady, commercial approach.

Since joining the firm in 2006, Susan has continued to advise clients on regulatory and compliance matters, and on structuring both retail and private funds. Her approach is practical, collaborative, and business-minded – grounded in decades of experience across private practice and in-house roles, and guided by a genuine commitment to helping clients navigate an evolving financial landscape with confidence and clarity.
