Bangkok
From pioneering beginnings to regional leadership, our Bangkok office reflects a steadfast commitment to excellence, collaboration, and cross-cultural insight into the legal landscape across Thailand and other regions
In 2013, we became the first major Japanese law firm to establish a presence in Thailand. In 2019, we expanded significantly by forming an alliance with Siam City Law Group (SCL), one of Thailand’s top law firms. On April 5, 2021, we merged to form SCL Nishimura & Asahi Limited. This strengthened our capabilities and deepened our presence in Thailand, allowing us to better serve the growing and diverse legal needs across Thailand and the region.
With over 70 lawyers and professional staff, our presence in Bangkok is among the largest of international law firms in Thailand, providing comprehensive legal solutions to global and local clients alike. Our lawyers are qualified in both Thailand and internationally. We have dedicated corporate/M&A and general practice, energy, labor and employment, patent and IP/IT, land and real estate, dispute resolution, and tax teams to fulfil our clients’ mandates in Thailand and across Asia. Working closely with our international offices, we provide end-to-end legal solutions, from helping companies enter and grow in Thailand and other markets to guiding them through exits or resolving challenges arising from legal or cultural differences.
