Tilleke & Gibbins has the greatest breadth of expertise of any domestic law firm in Thailand, according to a recently released publication.

In the Thailand research for Asialaw Profiles 2013, Tilleke & Gibbins has achieved “Asialaw Highly Recommended” status—the highest recognition awarded by the publication—in eight key practice areas: Banking & Finance, Construction & Real Estate, Corporate/M&A, Dispute Resolution, Energy & Natural Resources, Intellectual Property, Shipping, Maritime & Aviation, and Tax. This result placed the firm at the top of the market, as no other firm in Thailand was ranked in more than five practice areas.
