Charuwan Charoonchitsathian named to Tilleke partnership

Bangkok-based lawyer advises on telecom regs, fintech, data protection.

Charuwan Charoonchitsathian has been named to the partnership at Tilleke & Gibbins in Bangkok, effective January 2022.

Charoonchitsathian is based in Tilleke & Gibbins’ Bangkok office, where she advises multinational clients on their commercial operations in Thailand. Her client roster includes several of the largest regional and global operators in the technology, media, telecommunications, and energy sectors, who rely on her experience and advice on telecom regulations, fintech, project finance, data protection, business reorganization, mergers and acquisitions, and cross-border transactions. Charoonchitsathian has over a decade of experience advising clients in Thailand, and has previously held senior positions at some of Bangkok’s largest and most well-respected international firms. She holds degrees from Thammasat University, the University of Queensland, and the University of Nottingham, and is a member of the Thai Bar Association and the Lawyers Council of Thailand.

The promotion was one of four the firm made at the start of the year. Commenting on the appointments, Kobkit Thienpreecha, partner and director of the firm’s corporate and commercial department, stated that “the work of these four practitioners has already helped pave the way for the future of the firm, and the transactional bench strength that Charuwan brings to the table is an invaluable asset as Thailand begins to plan its post-Covid recovery.”

Darani Vachanavuttivong, co-managing partner and head of the firm’s IP practice, noted that “these exceptionally talented lawyers have played an integral role in the protection of our clients’ interests in Southeast Asia, and they are an outstanding addition to the partnership of our firm.”

Tiziana Sucharitkul, co-managing partner and head of the firm’s dispute resolution practice adds that “the new additions to our partnership will bring a fresh outlook to our firm’s regional leadership. They are innovative, commercially minded, global practitioners, and their insight and expertise will help us – and our clients – grow and thrive in the ever-evolving landscape of international commerce in Southeast Asia.”
