Pacific Business Press

Asian-Mena Counsel  magazine has named Tilleke & Gibbins as Thailand Firm of the Year in Intellectual Property and Vietnam Firm of the Year in Life Sciences in its In-House Community Firms of the Year awards for 2016, which forms part of its tenth annual Survey of In-House Counsel Representing Corporate Asia and the Middle-East.

Participants were asked to comment on the quality and value of service they received from external counsel in their jurisdiction. They were also asked to cite which firms they “prefer to use” for various activities. Firms offering service of meritable quality and that have been responsive to their clients’ needs beyond the norm were recognized.
