Weerawong, Chinnavat & Partners

More information
According to clients, Weerawong, Chinnavat & Partners harnesses ‘the sophistication of a top international firm, paired with unmatched local insight’. Its complex workload for well-known clients ranges from labour disputes relating to voluntary resignations and unpaid leave, to unfair terminations, to breaches of duty by senior management staff. Sakchai Limsiripothong specialises in labour disputes and internal investigations, and heads the practice alongside the ’remarkably hands-on’ Phatsawat Siwawej and Akaraporn Kulvijit. Notably, Parada Saibua arrived from DLA Piper in July 2025.
