CHUA CHOON KING LL.B. (Hons)
Executive Director
Choon King heads the team handling ship finance and corporate/transactional shipping work. He has been involved in shipping law throughout his legal career and has more than a decade of experience in both contentious and non-contentious shipping work. Prior to joining the firm in 2007, he was instrumental in setting up a ship finance team at a large Singapore law firm and his current team is one of the premier teams handling ship finance matters in Singapore.
Choon King was a keen rugby player in his school days. He is now an avid golfer, playing off a 13 handicap. His interest in these sports has instilled in him the importance of determination, endurance, accuracy and mental strength, attributes which he believes are of critical importance in the practice of law. He pays attention to detail even in the midst of punishing deadlines and is always mindful of getting the deal done in the time that it needs to get done.
