Legal terminology can be mind-boggling, let alone finding a suitable lawyer to represent your case. However, since Asia Law Network (ALN) was established in 2014, seeking legal advice has become easier and more wallet-friendly. The tech startup, which was dreamed up by its CEO Cherilyn Tan, provides a comprehensive online platform where individuals and businesses can connect with thousands of reputable lawyers in Singapore and the region based on their requirements.

In 2018, Cherilyn became the CEO of Tessaract.io, a workflow automation tool targeting the professional services industry, such as the law, accounting, compliance and consulting sectors. Cherilyn is also a member of the founding board of Asean LegalTech, a platform that aims to promote and develop the legal-tech ecosystem in Southeast Asia by connecting legal-tech entrepreneurs and champions.
