Ms Rebecca Chiu

Rebecca Chiu successfully balances both a legal career and entrepreneurship. She started her professional life as a banking and finance lawyer and practiced at an international law firm in Singapore.

She ultimately left a full-time role in private practice to start her own business, and has since founded several successful start-ups, including a social enterprise for migrant domestic workers, in the technology sector which is a key area of passion for her.

Mr Daniel Mok

Daniel Mok is the general counsel of a fast growing fintech company, where he has built the legal team from two to seven, ensuring the legal department is respected and closely partnered with business ambitions. He successfully diversified his practice expertise from debt capital markets, which was his private practice specialisation at top tier UK and Singapore-based law firms.  

Ms Chua Xinying

Xinying is a partner at Allen & Gledhill LLP (A&G).  She is a litigator specialising in corporate and commercial disputes.  

She has an active practice in litigation and arbitration, with particular interest in restructuring and insolvency disputes.  She also acts as an arbitrator and is accredited as a mediator with the Singapore Mediation Centre.  She was seconded to one of the leading chancery and commercial barristers’ chambers in London.  

Starting out as a young lawyer in A&G, she was fortunate to have received generous mentorship and opportunities which have helped her to navigate her way through various crossroads in private practice.  Having seen her peers gone on to explore alternative pathways, she has had her fair share of questions about career paths, sustainability of lawyering and what it means to achieve “success” in private practice.

As she continues to be excited by her journey in private practice, she hopes to share in the challenges that the younger lawyers may face and be a sounding board for them.
