About Me

I’m Ronald JJ Wong / Ronald Wong Jian Jie / 黄健杰.

I believe in being an advocate who seeks justice and peace.

I’m a Singapore lawyer with commercial disputes and corporate advisory & transaction practices. I try to promote access to justice by volunteering pro bono. I also write on the law; some of my articles are published in academic journals.

I’m burdened about seeking the common good of society, building community and being a social justice advocate for marginalized people. I also enjoy culture and the arts,  dabbling in music, creative & non-fiction writing, theatre & film, creative media and producing podcasts.

As a Christian, I strive to live out my faith with integrity, with the grace of God.
