Corporate Secretarial Intern

Jeremy Choo Web Design

This was my first attempt at being bold and entrepreneurial. 

I decided to incorporate a web design firm as I have some knowledge of web design and Wordpress. Unfortunately, It didn't go well and I shut it down after 6 months. 

Although the sole proprietorship didn't go well, the experiences I got from it were invaluable. 

Apart from the security and designing aspects of a website, I also had to deal with Medisave contribution and my own tax return which were unfamiliar to me and I had to search for information myself.

Furthermore, back when I was studying for my diploma, I was exposed to company law, for which the incorporation of the various business vehicles was taught. But it is theoretical. 

During the incorporation of my sole proprietorship, I got to experience the process of incorporation first-hand. 

This sole proprietorship has enabled me to gain an insightful experience and I am glad that I stepped out of my comfort zone to acquire it.

Sole Proprietor

Hoh Law Corporation

I was involved in the following practice areas: 

- Wills & Probate; 
- Family & Matrimonial; and 
- Tort (Personal Injury).

- Assisted supervisor by drafting court documents including affidavits, writ of summons, wills, and correspondences with minimum supervision

- Analysed and conducted quick research for cases; further identified a High Court precedent that has binding effect and contributed to a successful appeal to submit further evidence regarding division of assets in a divorce case

This internship also allows me to follow my supervisor from the office to the courtroom, which was an eye opener to the busy schedules of a lawyer.
