Besides having the knowledge and experience in banking litigation, she is given greater opportunity to explore civil litigation area such as dispute resolution, divorce & family law, will, probate & estate administration etc. After few months in the litigation department, she decided to explore and concentrate fully in conveyance of property, commercial and corporate matter. In May 2012, she was promoted to become a Partner in Messrs Chiong & Partners. Being a partner in the firm, though relatively young in the field, we already see her as potential in leading our conveyancing department alongside with the partners.

In 2018, the firm needed her assistance to lead the litigation department when the firm realised that litigation cases were increasing from day to day. During her first three years of practice, she was exposed to litigation areas. As an advocate and solicitor, she is well-equipped to lead the litigation department and her team, as she has vast experience ranging from distress proceedings, writ of seizure and sale, and bankruptcy proceedings.

Even if she is currently focusing on litigation matters, she aims to excel in both areas of conveyancing and litigation practice and contribute to the expansion plan of the firm.
