Counsel
Advocate & Solicitor
Tricia is a family law academic at Singapore University of Social Sciences, with four years of experience teaching family law and developing family law curriculum.
We are excited to have Tricia bring her academic depth and breadth, together with practical sensibilities, in family law to our team.
In this span of time, Tricia has had significant professional development in the academic sphere, including publishing family law articles and annotated statutes, conducting family law talks at conferences, organizing CPD talks on family law, participating in family law discussion panels, consulting with the relevant ministries on family law-related issues and leading an applied research project on offences against women. Tricia also actively volunteers with various organisations to strengthen families in Singapore, as she recognises that the impact that family law has is not solely confined to the doctrinal sphere.
Prior to joining the university, Tricia was practicing at a leading Singapore law firm for six years and specialised in family law litigation. She has experience handling complex family law matters with multi-jurisdictional elements such as a stay of foreign proceedings, anti-suit injunctions, the enforcement of Singapore court orders in foreign jurisdictions, relocation and child abduction applications under the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of Child Abduction. She has also handled cases involving high-conflict children’s issues, novel points of family law, and cross-examination of medical experts.
Currently, Tricia teaches a year-long family law course at SUSS with a focus on both practical and academic perspectives.
