PRACTICE EXPERIENCE

Roslina has a wide area of practice but she is best known for her work in landlord and tenant law, employment and industrial relations law and insolvency law.

Roslina is one of the leading lawyers in Singapore on landlord and tenant law. She acts for the largest developers and commercial and industrial landlords. She handles the tenancy documentation, advisory, litigation and recovery work for clients. Her ability to handle all aspects of a landlord and tenant transaction is an advantage to clients as she is able to give advice quickly in an area where time is of the essence to clients. Roslina was the Honorary Legal Counsel to The Association of Shopping Centres from 2002 to 2011.

In the area of employment law and industrial relations, Roslina has advised statutory corporations and companies on employment law issues in privatization and advised companies, including banks on employment law documentation. Roslina also advises trade unions on industrial relations matters.

Roslina carried out two research projects with one of her Professors at the Insolvency Research Unit, King’s College London immediately after obtaining her Masters Degree in Law in 1990. The first research project was on administrations (the equivalent of judicial management in Singapore) where she studied the first 700 cases of companies going into administration in the major cities in the UK in the early days of the UK Insolvency Act, including London, Leeds and Manchester. Upon her return to practice in Singapore, she was immediately involved in an ongoing judicial management case, the first judicial management case in Singapore. Since then, she has advised and acted for companies, liquidators, receivers and judicial managers in insolvency matters and proceedings.
