Tell us about your favourite memory during your time at Clyde & Co?
privacy continues to be an evolving area and growth practice for the firm, so it keeps me on my toes!
The firm participated in the Clipper City Challenge Regatta years ago. I never thought I’d get an opportunity to sail in a Clipper Round the World yacht! It was such a thrill and made all the better when the Clyde & Co team I was a part of won the regatta, beating other city law firms and banks. America’s Cup, here I come?
What does working for Clyde & Co mean to you?
I really value the international nature of the firm. As someone who grew up in Singapore, then spent a decade in Australia before moving to the UK, the international footprint of the firm and global client base reflects my personal journey. My practice also inherently requires me to work closely with other Clyde & Co colleagues internationally which I thoroughly enjoy! It is also very meaningful to me to have had the support and encouragement of so many people in the firm over the years, and still do. It means a great deal to me and I hope I can do the same for others too!
What advice would you give your younger self?
Try not to worry – not everything you do will lead to a professional indemnity claim against the firm.
Was law your preferred career choice?
No, I wanted to be a geologist!
What does your typical weekend look like?
What initiatives have you been involved with at Clyde & Co?
I love dining out and spend my weekends traipsing around London (and sometimes further afield) trying out different spots. My epicurean adventures are usually accompanied by a visit to the gallery or theatre.
I really enjoy the variety of opportunities. As an associate I was lucky enough to take part in the Global Associate Programme. Then as a senior associate I went on a client secondment with a key insurer client of the firm which gave me a real insight on understanding their commercial needs and priorities. The secondment also led me to being involved in the Key Account Programme which has been a wonderful learning experience. From a D&I perspective, I was involved in GECCO as a representative for several years before taking on the role as co-chair of the ACED committee over the last couple of years.
