Asian Legal Business has released their Top 15 Southeast Asia Litigators 2024 list, which includes senior litigator Thawat Damsa-ard, a partner in the Tilleke & Gibbins’ dispute resolution department in Bangkok.

This is the third consecutive year that Thawat has been honored with a spot on the list of top litigators across the region, and he is only one of two litigators from Thailand included in the list.
