ALB Women in Law Awards 2021: Darani Vachanavuttivong Named Thought Leader of the Year

Darani Vachanavuttivong, co-managing partner of Tilleke & Gibbins and managing director of the firm’s intellectual property practice, was named Thought Leader of the Year for Southeast Asia in the inaugural edition of the Women in Law Awards from Asian Legal Business (ALB).

The awards were organized to celebrate exceptional performance from female lawyers in jurisdictions across the Asia-Pacific region. To determine the winners, ALB’s in-house editorial and research team reviewed submissions from firms in Asia to come up with a shortlist of finalists, which was then turned over to an independent panel of experts responsible for selecting the award recipient in each category.

The Thought Leader of the Year award recognizes Darani’s own professional contributions through frequent publications and speaking engagements, as well as her steady direction of the publications output of the Tilleke & Gibbins intellectual property team.

Owned by Thomson Reuters, ALB operates a portfolio of legal titles, law awards, legal summits, and online services. For more information on the ALB Women in Law awards, or to browse a full list of the winners, please visit the ALB website.
