With five recognized lawyers, Tilleke & Gibbins places in a tie for third place among all firms in Vietnam for most lawyers to appear on the A-List.

The well-regarded ranking recognizes the top private-practice corporate lawyers in Vietnam based on research conducted in 2021. As the magazine explains, “The A-List is based on extensive research conducted by Asia Business Law Journal. To identify the top 100 lawyers in Vietnam, we turned to thousands of in-house counsel in Vietnam and around the world – as well as partners at international law firms – and asked them to tell us which lawyers should make the cut, and why.”
