Title: Partner
Division: Dispute resolution
Location: Bangkok

I obtained my Bachelors' degree in Law at Chulalongkorn University in Thailand, followed by my Thai Bar qualifications.

After co-founding Siam Premier, a Thai law firm at which I worked between 1990-2002, I set up a specialist litigation and tax practice, LawAlliance Limited. I joined Herbert Smith as a partner in October 2006 but had previously been appointed as a consultant to the Bangkok office in 2005.

In Bangkok we have an important international role to play, supporting our colleagues in other offices in advising the firm's major multinational clients. We are often asked to assist, as a part of the team, on Thai law-related issues of an international transaction or case.  

For the individual Herbert Smith has much to offer. The resources, knowledge and skills available within the firm enable you to develop and achieve your professional goals. This is greatly helped by working with expert, experienced lawyers throughout the world, many of whom are leaders in their practice areas. The working environment is also one that enables personal and professional development, being diverse, "open door" and friendly.

I am, of course, lucky to have an incredibly devoted support staff and legal team, who promote a successful work environment. What’s more, I am fortunate to be in a position where I can entertain clients and colleagues on some of the world's greatest golf courses!
