Languages | English

Yongxin read law at the National University of Singapore where he graduated with Second Class Honours (Upper) in 2020. He is also one of the few law graduates in Singapore to have minored in Forensic Science.

In 2017, Yongxin headed The Innocence Project (Singapore) (now known as The Recourse Initiative) which investigated claims of innocence from convicted persons who have exhausted all avenues of appeal. He and his team attended the Taiwan Innocence Project Conference in 2018 where he presented their work to the project’s international counterparts.

Yongxin is driven by his firm belief in due process and second chances for those shunned by society. After graduating, he joined Eugene Thuraisingam LLP because of its commitment to access to justice and its willingness to argue novel points of law. As a practice trainee, Yongxin was exposed to various areas of dispute work in both civil and criminal proceedings.

Outside of law, his interest lies in diving and music. He is a PADI Certified Divemaster, having chosen to further his skill after his time serving in the Naval Diving Unit.

Chooi Jing Yen and Chen Yongxin, my lawyers from Eugene Thuraisingam, upheld their professionalism and showed me kindness and compassion throughout my case. I never expected myself to be involved in a legal dispute, and if not for my lawyers, it could have been one of the most draining and emotionally exhausting things to experience. Instead, I felt safe, secure and confident throughout the entire litigation. Jing Yen guided me, answered the many questions I had and explained everything so I could understand what was going on. The team was extremely meticulous and prepared. Like grandmasters in chess, they could think many steps ahead. Jing Yen shared the objective with me from the start, and it was fulfilled. My case was sensitive because it involved media and press, but the whole litigation process was really well managed. The lawyers on the team were experts on the topic and handled my case really well. I had friends telling me that lawyers are the ultimate winners in any case because of the money they earn at each step of the litigation process, and that I had to be wary of the decisions being made. That wasn’t the case for me at all. In fact, all the decisions made showed me how my lawyers had my best interests at heart. Jing Yen gave me the confidence that I could trust the team, and that I did not have to be anxious. I’m also really thankful for how prompt he was with my questions as well, because it always put an end to the anxiety I’d feel whenever I was uncertain. I’d also like to thank Ariffin Sha for answering the many questions I had as well. From my experience, I’d highly recommend engaging the lawyers at Eugene Thuraisingam. They are superb at their work, so calm and confident with what they do. I’m so thankful that the case has been resolved and that I can finally move forward. Thank you so much Jing Yen, Yongxin and Ariffin. I will forever be grateful.”
