Su Yin obtained her bachelor’s and master’s law degrees from the National University of Singapore and is dual qualified (Singapore and England & Wales). She started her career in law as a litigator. Thereafter, she was involved in a broad range of non-contentious corporate, banking and finance work for a diverse clientele. After a decade as a Big Four Singapore law firm partner with a primarily general banking and finance practice, she lawyered in-house (including as general counsel to two research institutes) while engaging in teaching and research endeavours. Governance and risk management were a significant part of Su Yin’s in-house legal work, and she employed facilitative training and process facilitation as means to manage legal risks.

♦ Local counsel support in cross-border general banking and finance transactions
