She deferred studies for two years to work in her dad's law firm

Some 15 years ago, Christine Low deferred her entry into law school by two years to work in the trenches of her father's law firm, picking up lessons in high-profile cases, trial preparations and client stories. It was a decision she never regretted.

Her father, former Law Society president Peter Low, was both her mentor and mirror. “His red-ink markups on my early drafts - I felt like I was back in school grew fewer over time as I learnt from his meticulous and thorough approach,” she said.

The hard work and dedication paid off.

Both father and daughter were among the 15 named to the ST/Statista 2026 list of top-rated lawyers based on the recommendations of the respondents to the survey.

The lawyers on the list had the highest overall number of recommendations from clients and peers, across multiple fields. The survey highlighted their strongest legal field and did not include every area in which they were recommended.

Participants are understood to have considered factors like competency skills, referrals by others while hiring lawyers, and affordability.
