Waewpen Piemwichai Tops TMT Lawyer Ratings in Asialaw Client Service Excellence 2021

Asialaw

Waewpen Piemwichai, an attorney in Tilleke & Gibbins’ Hanoi office, was recognized in Asialaw’s Client Service Excellence 2021 ratings as the “highest rated lawyer to work with” in Vietnam in the technology, media, and telecommunications (TMT) area. Waewpen was one of only four lawyers in Vietnam to be named in the ratings, and was notably the only lawyer in the entire survey, covering 22 jurisdictions across Asia, to be singled out for the TMT practice area.

These ratings recognize the best Asian law firms and individual lawyers from the perspective of client service. Asialaw’s researchers determine the client service ratings by surveying buyers of legal services and asking them to rank firms and lawyers on a range of attributes related to client management, legal and business knowledge, and communication skills, and aggregating the scores.

The full rankings for individuals are available at the Asialaw website.
