⚒️ What do you do?

I am an independent disputes lawyer practising as counsel in Rachel Low LLC together with my wife (no prizes for guessing her name). She started her independent practice a few years ago and her positive experience played a very significant role in my decision last year to leave the judiciary, where I spent 8 of my 10 years of working life so far.

I am currently assisting tribunals in a few arbitrations as tribunal secretary in addition to working on matters which include investor-State and commercial arbitrations.

What is your proudest achievement?
I don’t have a specific case or matter in mind, but when I was a judicial officer in the State Courts I would most feel a sense of accomplishment when I heard (generally second-hand) of lawyers saying that it was a pleasant experience appearing before me.

If you had 25 hours in a day, what would you do with the extra hour?
Planning our next trip overseas to hike, swim, dive or watch wildlife; catching up on the perpetual backlog of my daily journal; and cuddling with our cat.

If you weren't a lawyer, what would you be?
I would probably be a journalist while attempting (likely unsuccessfully) to publish a book.

Your favourite food haunt is...?
Ah Hua Teochew Fishball Noodle at Pandan Gardens for mee tai mak and Ru Ji Kitchen at Holland Drive for fishball noodles.
