Looking Ahead

With its foundations firmly in place, the Singapore Corporate Counsel Association is poised to build on its momentum and shape the future of the in-house legal profession across the region.

The new Board will prioritise three strategic directions in the years ahead:

1. Championing Regional Collaboration: SCCA will deepen cross-border partnerships through co-hosted events, shared training programmes, and strategic Memoranda of Understanding with regional peer associations. As regional legal cooperation becomes increasingly vital, SCCA aims to serve as a convening force for Asia-Pacific legal thought leadership and harmonised professional standards.

2. Strengthening Community Through High-Impact Engagements: Building on the success of events such as the APAC Legal Congress, Legal Counsel Summit, and the Chief Legal Officer Awards, SCCA will continue to design meaningful touchpoints for in-house professionals; not just to respond to the legal challenges of today, but to prepare for the opportunities of tomorrow.

3. Expanding the SCCA Academy’s Reach and Depth: With the legal profession rapidly evolving, the SCCA Academy will continue to scale its offerings in alignment with the Association’s Competency Framework. New programmes will equip counsel with the technical knowledge, cross-functional skills, and ethical leadership needed in a dynamic business landscape.
 

The Association’s vision remains clear: to build a resilient, future-ready legal community anchored in collaboration, capability and care, locally and across the Asia-Pacific.

“It is an honour to lead this Board at such a pivotal time,” said Choo, newly elected SCCA President. “The in-house community is uniquely placed to drive change across industries. SCCA’s role is to support that transformation through community, capability, and collaboration.”
