Rebecca Soh
Associate
Rebecca has both public and private sector work experience, having begun her legal career in the Civil Division of the Attorney-General’s Chambers before moving into a boutique law firm focused on dispute resolution in family and community law. Though familiar with litigation, Rebecca continually seeks new challenges and strives to develop greater advocacy experience in varied areas of law.
Rebecca’s practice areas cover both contentious and non-contentious matters, including civil disputes, family law, criminal law, employment law, and advisory matters.
As a believer in doing small things with great love, Rebecca hopes to go the extra mile in assisting those around her.
Outside legal practice, Rebecca spends much of her time with her family and loved ones. She also enjoys exploring new coffee spots and going on strolls in Singapore’s parks.
