Growth of partnership follows the firm’s recent Bangkok office opening
Clyde & Co has welcomed Dutsadee Dutsadeepanich as a partner in Bangkok. This expansion follows the opening of the firm’s Bangkok office earlier this year and the hires of partner Ian Johnston and legal director Sorawat Wongkaweepairot. It boosts the firm’s focus on Thailand and across the fast-growing ASEAN region.
Dutsadeepanich is a Thai litigator with over a decade of experience in cross-border litigation and international arbitration, including complex commercial matters, construction disputes, energy conflicts, aviation, infrastructure and transportation matters. Having previously worked with Herbert Smith Freehills and ASEAN’s large regional firm Tilleke & Gibbins, Dutsadee most recently co-founded law firm ABER Law Group.
“Bangkok is a key hub in the region, a vital one for our regional and global insurer clients as well as many energy, construction, and transportation clients,” said Simon McConnell, partner and chair of the firm’s APAC board, Hong Kong. “This hire will support our clients and further our offering across our key sectors in ASEAN.”
Dutsadee sits on the Panel of Arbitrators of the Beihai Asia International Arbitration Centre (BAIAC), the Asian International Arbitration Centre (AIAC), the Thailand Arbitration Centre (THAC), the Thai Arbitration Institute (TAI) and is on the list of arbitrators of the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (HKIAC). She has also been appointed as an arbitrator in several domestic and international arbitration cases.
“Clyde & Co is a premium brand for insurance and its other key sectors such as aviation, transportation and infrastructure on a global scale, and I look forward to using the network across the region as a platform to offer globally connected services to clients in ASEAN and beyond,” said Dutsadeepanich.
