Daphne is a Partner of the firm. Her main area of focus is in civil, corporate, and commercial disputes and her approach is to ensure her clients are well-informed and prepared for the risks and costs involved in litigation and arbitration. As part of this she explores mediation with all of her clients, allowing her to leverage on her specific training as mediation counsel.

She has experience representing clients before the General and Appellate Divisions of the High Court of Singapore and in domestic and international arbitrations of single and three-member Tribunals. Apart from this, she has substantive experience in cross-border corporate and commercial matters involving clients, fellow professionals, and counterparties from China, the United States, Europe, and Indonesia. She draws from this experience to assist her clients in presenting comprehensive case theories, strategies and narratives which reflect commercial realities. She is particularly interested in cases involving technical expertise and works closely and collaboratively with her clients to obtain a complete understanding of their evidence to enable her clients’ cases to be presented accurately and persuasively.

Daphne’s clients describe her as “meticulous, … never missing a single piece of evidence” and have been “impressed by [her] complete understanding of the issues and how quickly she picked everything up”; a lawyer who “stood out, with her organization, ability to summarise problems for us to understand, provide a quick reasoned response all with a professional attitude”.
