Background

About Michelle Chew

I enjoy writing, systems, languages, connecting things and finding solutions to problems. I like working together in a team and collaborating to reach a goal. I am a corporate counsel in the global legal team at Cisco Capital. I started my legal career as an associate in private practice. I am called to the Singapore bar and I have a background in commercial practice, including dispute resolution, litigation, regulatory work and other advisory work. My experience in trial and appellate litigation involves breaches of fiduciary duties, intellectual property, shareholder disputes, derivative actions, conflict of laws, injunctions, contract, insolvency and disciplinary proceedings. I also worked on non-contentious matters, for example, advising clients at the pre-contentious stage, providing regulatory advice and drafting commercial agreements, privacy policies and other contractual documents. As corporate counsel, I support the business in APJC. This involves working with various stakeholders in the respective countries, advising on transactions, drafting and negotiating commercial contracts, developing standard documentation, reviewing policies and procedures and providing general legal advice to the business, amongst other things. I enjoy the varied and challenging work, the diverse environment and the chance to interact with people from all around the world.
