The Singapore Corporate Counsel Association (SCCA) hosted its sixth Chief Legal Officer (CLO) Awards reception at the Sinfonia Ristorante on 10 November, recognising CLOs who have made outstanding contributions to their respective companies, businesses, or organisations.

The winner from the multinational corporation category was swept up by HSBC’s general counsel Antony Lee, followed by Cuscaden Peak Investments’ (formerly known as Singapore Press Holdings) general counsel Ginney Lim who took the top spot for the business category.

Special recognitions in the public sector category were also awarded to Diane Fletcher from the National University of Singapore, Tan Siew Huay from the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore and Tan Sze Yao from the Ministry of Health.

More than 60 exclusively invited counsels attended the reception, comprising past award winners, finalists and many top general counsel across different organisations. The event’s guest-of-honour was the attorney general of Singapore, Lucien Wong, who was joined by the esteemed panel of award judges.
