Hui Tsing graduated from University of Bristol in 1994, and completed the Bar Finals in London, Middle Temple in 1995. She worked for a year at the then Registry of Companies & Businesses (now the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority) of Singapore as Assistant Registrar, before doing her pupillage at Gurbani & Co, and was called to the Singapore Bar in 1997. Hui Tsing joined Joseph Tan Jude Benny in 1998, where she has remained since, apart from a sabbatical year at Southampton (September 2003 to 2004) where time was wisely invested imbibing finer points of marine insurance in The Stile. Hui Tsing’s maritime practice straddles both contentious and non-contentious shipping work. Her portfolio of contentious shipping work includes admiralty enforcement, cargo claims, contracts of affreightment, marine insurance, and P&I matters. On the non-contentious front, Hui Tsing handles the firm’s ship finance, ship sales and purchases, registration and change of flag matters. Hui Tsing also manages the firm’s Bangkok office.
