Wise Equity Legal Counsel Limited fields a versatile corporate team with strong capabilities across the full spectrum of corporate and M&A matters, acting for both buyers and sellers on domestic and cross-border transactions. The group is also well regarded for its ability to navigate the regulatory dimensions of complex mandates. Leadership is shared between three key practitioners: Yaowarote Klinboon, who advises on corporate governance, M&A, and general corporate matters; Karinevidch Olivero, noted for her expertise in capital markets and securities transactions; and Phatamol Phisitbuntoon, who brings extensive experience acting for multinational and domestic corporates. The practice further expanded with the arrival of Teerasak Petchpaibool in September 2025.
