Jack graduated with a Bachelor of Laws (Hons) degree from Multimedia University in 2016 and subsequently obtained a Master of Laws in International Commercial Law (with focus in international corporate finance, corporate governance and IT law) from the University of Bristol, United Kingdom, in 2018.

After chambering with the firm of Jal & Lim, he was called to the Malaysian Bar in March 2017. After completing his Master of Laws, he commenced practice with the firm of Lee & Koh, where he was involved in advising on corporate restructurings, joint ventures and other corporate and commercial transactions. He also gained experience in real estate-related matters and banking & financing matters.

He then joined the firm of Jeff Leong, Poon & Wong in 2021, where he was involved in equity capital market matters, including initial public offering (IPO) exercises, secondary offerings such as placements, rights issues, and other corporate exercises involving listed companies. He also assisted clients in mergers & acquisitions and joint venture matters.

Since joining MKP in April 2024, Jack has predominantly worked on equity capital markets (and in particular, IPO) matters. He was an integral member of the team which worked on the successful listing of HI Mobility Berhad, a bus services provider which provides cross-border services between Johor Bahru and Singapore (via one of the world's busiest land border crossings), on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia in March 2025.
