PEGGY YEE

DIRECTOR

LLB (Hons) National University of Singapore, 1987 Advocate & Solicitor, Supreme Court of Singapore, 1988Commissioner for OathsAssociate Mediator, Singapore Mediation Centre Connect with me on LinkedIn: In her more than 35 years of legal practice, Peggy has appeared as lead counsel before the Court of Appeal, High Court, Family Justice Courts and State Courts at contested trials and hearings. She is also an accredited and sought after Mediator. Peggy listens with her heart and then presents her clients with viable options that meet the client’s intent and core position. Peggy is particularly interested and invested in Family Law matters and matrimonial, complex family disputes, corporate and criminal matters. She considers it a privilege to be entrusted with a client’s personal family matters. She also believes that a negotiated settlement is preferable to an unsatisfactory hard fought judgment. Peggy’s in-depth knowledge and experience in Real Estate, Conveyancing and Probate enables her to advise on Matrimonial / Divorce-related property transactions effectively. Besides active legal practice, Peggy is deeply involved in pro bono causes and the non-profit charity sector. She is fluent in both spoken and written English and Chinese. She also speaks Bahasa Indonesia and Malay and the local dialects Cantonese, Teochew and Hokkien. Peggy is unabashedly Catholic, married and is mum to three kids – two young adults and a teen. She is a firm advocate and passionate proponent for an inclusive society, in particular that of persons with invisible special needs. She laments that she no longer has the time to read all the books that she wants to, and can no longer run four times a week like she used to, so she consoles herself by discovering golf and delectable cuisine instead.
