Lionel graduated with both his Bachelor of Laws, LLB (Hons) and his Master of Laws, LLM (First Class) from the University of Leeds, and went on to qualify as an Advocate and Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Singapore. Thereafter, he started his legal practice as a shipping lawyer from the outset at two ranked, specialist, maritime law firms, under the tutelage of a senior shipping lawyer, whom he followed from the first firm to the second.
As the third lawyer to join our team, Lionel’s addition further entrenches Tigermar’s position as a market leader in brokerage claims advocacy, so as to remain true to Tigermar’s commitment to its Clients for a first class claims service.
Outside of work, he thrives on the art of eclectic hobbies – from gaming and gym sessions to bonsai gardening and craft beer – which reflects a keen curiosity and analytical mindset. Whether exploring a new recipe or decoding game mechanics, he thrives on understanding how things work and where value can be found. That same instinct drives his approach to claims handling: always questioning, always refining, always seeking ways to strengthen the Client’s position.
