Thailand’s Weerawong bolsters intl. trade practice after acquiring boutique

Weerawong C&P, Thailand’s second-largest firm, has expanded its international trade and WTO offering after merging with Apisith & Alliance, including its founder Apisith John Sutham.

Apisith & Alliance was founded in 2002. In January this year, the firm split into two entities, with the trade and customs arm becoming a part of Weerawong. The remaining lawyers, under the name of AWP & Alliance, offer services in corporate/commercial, IP and dispute resolution.

The Apisith team led by Apisith John Sutham has expertise in international trade litigation and WTO work including antidumping, safeguards, countervailing duty and anti-circumvention.

Meanwhile, Weerawong C&P has nine partners and more than 100 lawyers. It was established in 2009 as an independent firm, having been White & Case’s Bangkok office since 1993.
