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.

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.

The results were determined through a survey completed by more than 1,310 in-house counsel across 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.
