Jing Yen graduated cum laude from the Singapore Management University (SMU) in 2015, placing on the final year Dean’s List.

Equally adept appearing at all Court levels, Jing Yen has been endorsed by clients for his “sharp mind” and “calm demeanour”.

Jing Yen’s pro bono practice includes assignments from the Legal Assistance Scheme for Capital Offences (LASCO) and the Criminal Legal Aid Scheme (CLAS) as well as the occasional appearance at a community legal clinic.

In 2022, Jing Yen was named a recommended lawyer by Doyle’s Guide for Leading Criminal Lawyers and a rising star by Asian Legal Business.

Jing Yen exudes an aura of confidence with a sense of heart and humility. He very quickly understood the situation and asked the right questions to get a deeper understanding. I’ve met him twice, one along with Mr. Eugene and both times I felt like I had someone to turn to for good advice. And Joel was quick to research information through the discussion. They were clear and concise in their explanation. All in all, definitely a law firm that deserves the praise.
