Hong Kong-based legal magazine, Asia IP, has quoted two of Tilleke & Gibbins’ lawyers in a special feature on “Moviemakers Battle Online Pirates.” Their comments were included in the March edition of the magazine.

Since the Thai Copyright Act B.E. 2537 (1994) was enacted over 20 years ago, it has remained unchanged. Consequently, Thailand’s copyright law is out of date, and legal measures to combat piracy are inadequate. Thailand’s National Legislative Assembly, however, recently passed two copyright bills into law, and they will take effect in July 2015.

Giang Thi Huong Tran, a TMT Consultant in the firm’s Hanoi office, will serve as the moderator at a forum organized by the US-ASEAN Business Council on Vietnam’s Policies and Regulations Governing the Management of Data.

Tilleke & Gibbins has been nominated for the Thailand Law Firm of the Year Award 2015 by Chambers Asia-Pacific. This nomination comes after the firm was honored to win the Thailand Law Firm of the Year Award 2014. This year’s winner will be announced at Chambers Asia-Pacific’s annual ceremony and dinner, which will be held at the Ritz Carlton in Hong Kong on May 4, 2015.
