Her research interests cover both insurance law and business vehicles and partnership law. Re her research on selected important topics in insurance law, she has critiqued nettlesome insurance doctrines (including utmost good faith) and argued for reforms both internationally and locally; presently , she is analysing how the different digital tools (arising from innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain and Internet of Things) will impact existing insurance doctrines and principles after they become routinely deployed by InsurTechs and insurers alike. With regard to her research on a wide range of topics in partnership law, she sole-authored the first academic text on partnership law in Singapore. The many articles spawned by her research have since been published in international journals such as Modern Law Review, Lloyd’s Maritime & Commercial Quarterly, Journal of Business Law, Legal Studies and International & Comparative Law Quarterly. Her overseas stints include working in the London office of Clifford Chance as well as Visiting Scholar appointments at both University of California (Berkeley) and Monash University.
