Tilleke & Gibbins is proud to announce that Athistha (Nop) Chitranukhroh, partner and director of the firm’s corporate and commercial group in Bangkok, has been named to the Asia Super 50 TMT Lawyers 2023 list by Asian Legal Business (ALB). This accolade recognizes Nop’s excellence in advising clients on a range of TMT-related matters, including data privacy, e-commerce, and technology transactions. She is widely regarded as one of the most knowledgeable and innovative TMT lawyers in the region, having advised many of the world’s leading technology companies on complex and cutting-edge legal issues. Nop’s inclusion in the Asia Super 50 TMT Lawyers list is especially notable because the rankings are compiled by ALB based exclusively on feedback from clients and in-house counsel across the region, rather than supporting information such as law firm submissions. The selection process takes into account various factors, such as legal expertise, business acumen, industry knowledge, and client service. This year’s list is particularly significant, given the ongoing digital transformation in the region and the growing importance of TMT legal advice to businesses. To learn more about the Asia Super 50 TMT Lawyers 2023 rankings, please see the April 2023 issue of ALB.
