Blossom Hing named in Asian Legal Business's Top 15 Female Lawyers 2024 in Asia
23 Aug 2024
We are proud to share that Director Blossom Hing has been named as one of the Top 15 Female Lawyers 2024 by Asian Legal Business (ALB). Blossom is one of only two Singapore lawyers to be included in this year’s list.
Now in its fourth year, this ranking was determined through a competitive selection process with over 155 submissions from 13 Asian jurisdictions. The list highlights female lawyers who consistently demonstrate excellence in their fields, setting remarkable standards while earning praise from their peers, superiors and clients.
Blossom’s inclusion in this distinguished list reflects not only her personal accomplishments but also her role as a mentor and inspiration to others in the legal profession. In her exclusive interview with ALB, Blossom shared a memorable case that shaped her career, emphasising that “resilience is key to ensuring success, not only in court, but also in life. We must never give up and there are always new beginnings.” When discussing the impact of societal and cultural norms on career progression, she noted, “At a junior level, there is often parity or even more men than women who enter the profession. But as the young lawyers progress in their careers, the number of women lawyers who hold senior positions tend to decrease in comparison to their male counterparts. It is therefore important for senior female lawyers to constantly lean in to be role models for the younger generations.”
Blossom has consistently exemplified the qualities of a top-tier lawyer in the region, particularly in dispute resolution and restructuring/insolvency. She has been named Litigator of the Year in Southeast Asia in the ALB Women in Law Awards 2021 and 2023, identified as one of the Top 100 Women in Litigation for four consecutive years since 2020 in the latest edition of Benchmark Litigation Asia Pacific, listed among Asia’s top 50 most highly recommended arbitration and litigation practitioners in ALB’s Asia Super 50 Disputes Lawyers in 2021, and named Woman Lawyer of the Year (Law Firm) in the 2020 and 2024 ALB SE Asia Law Awards.
