Thai Law Firms Adapt to Globalizing Economy as Companies Seek Overseas Assets

A noticeable shift in climate for law firms in Thailand is being observed, as companies increasingly acquire overseas assets, prompting law practices to bolster their international capabilities. Central to this evolving landscape is Thai lawyer Kudun Sukhumananda.

In 2015, Sukhumananda embarked on a mission to create the largest law firm in the country, one with a balanced power and equity structure that could prosper long after his leadership tenure. Back then, the vision for Kudun & Partners centred on expanding the firm’s head count, Sukhumananda revealed in an interview with Law.com International.

As the Thai legal market evolves, firms such as Kudun & Partners are exploring uncharted territories, poised for growth in a rapidly globalising economy marked by Thai companies’ active overseas venture.
