Tilleke & Gibbins also received honorable mentions for Litigation and Dispute Resolution and Most Responsive Domestic Firms of the Year in Thailand. In Vietnam, the firm received honorable mentions in Intellectual Property and Most Responsive International Firms of the Year.

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.
