Tilleke & Gibbins Tops Asialaw Profiles Rankings for Thailand

Asialaw Profiles

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.

“We’re honored that Asialaw Profiles has recognized the strength of our practice across such a wide range of legal areas,” said Tiziana Sucharitkul, Co-Managing Partner and Director, Dispute Resolution, at Tilleke & Gibbins. “As a full-service firm, we have the privilege of partnering with our clients to address their full array of legal needs. We’re grateful that our clients and peers who participated in this research felt that our services deserved this recognition.”
