Career

Cheryl is a Director with the Corporate & Finance Department in Drew & Napier.

Her key areas of practice are Telecommunications, Media & Technology (TMT), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Digital Trust and Administrative & Public Law.

Cheryl advises clients on regulatory matters, ranging from cybersecurity to payment services to gaming.

Before joining the firm in 2022, Cheryl was a State Counsel/Legislative Drafter in the Legislation Division of the Attorney-General’s Chambers (Singapore’s national law drafting office). She has advised on and drafted legislation across a wide variety of subjects, with a focus on transport (including autonomous vehicles), infrastructure, technology and civil procedure.
