“Donʼt just complain about whatʼs wrong – do something to make it right.”

If June had her way, the less said about her, the better: for this pocket rocket is all about rolling up her sleeves and getting stuff done – stat! Whether she’s on the track, racing her German sports car to clinch the title of “Top Gun”. Or in the boardroom, where she has cut billion-dollar deal for her global clients, driven by the pace, competition and learning experience in every transaction.

June’s work has a strong multi-jurisdictional bent, thanks to her considerable experience at some of the biggest international firms before she joined TSMP. Her practice is extensive, centring on banking & finance, corporate finance, mergers & acquisitions, and funds and investments. She is qualified as a solicitor in England and Wales, and was called to the Singapore Bar in 2001.

There’s really only one thing for which June slows down. As head of TSMP’s community services, she plans and runs the firm’s twice-yearly Handprint outreach programme, targeting at-risk children and youths, transient workers and the elderly. Outside of the firm, she volunteers as a legal adviser to Make-A-Wish Foundation Singapore, a charity aimed at fulfilling the wishes of terminally ill children.
