Pallavi is a lawyer by day—and, quite frequently, into the wee hours of the morning. Originally from Delhi and Kerala in India, she has called Singapore home since 2006. She has enjoyed writing for as long as she can remember and is also fascinated by the rich history of Singapore in the 20th Century. A partner at an international law firm, her work is cross-border in nature and her clients are from a number of jurisdictions in South Asia and South East Asia. She also enjoys mentoring young lawyers—and waiting hand and foot on her overlarge golden retriever.
