Arissa, a key member of the Cyber Data Privacy, Employment and Industrial Relations Practice Groups, read law at Queen’s University of Belfast. She was called to the Bar of England and Wales by the Honourable Society of the Middle Temple before being admitted as an advocate and solicitor of the High Court of Malaya in November 2018.
With a commitment to protecting organisations’ most valuable assets – their people and their data – Arissa’s practice focuses on two critical areas: data privacy and employment law. She assists clients with data protection and security compliance, and risk management, particularly in addressing the intersection of data privacy obligations and employment practices. She works closely with clients across various industries on managing sensitive employee data, ensuring compliance with data protection laws, as well as managing cybersecurity risks at the workplace.
Arissa’s experience extends to contested employment matters, where she has defended clients in trade disputes and unfair dismissal claims arising from restructuring exercises, misconducts ranging from conflicts of interest to sexual harassment, performance issues, and constructive dismissals. In non-contentious matters, she offers strategic advice on a wide range of matters spanning every stage of the employment lifecycle.
Arissa has been recently acknowledged as a Recommended Lawyer by The Legal 500 Asia Pacific 2025 for Labour and Employment.
In addition to being a co-author of A Practical Guide to Personal Data Protection and a contributor to a number of practitioner guides, Arissa frequently speaks and conducts training sessions on matters relating to her areas of practice.
