Representative Legal Matters

Represented a global logistics company in connection with a cross-border criminal investigation involving the concealment of illegal goods in one of its containers. The work involved assisting in demonstrating the client's lack of involvement or knowledge of the offense by tracing the container's movement across jurisdictions and supporting law enforcement efforts. The matter concluded with no charges brought against the client.
Represented a global media company in cross-border criminal and civil enforcement proceedings against unauthorized rebroadcasting of its content. The matter involved a transnational criminal network and spanned multiple jurisdictions, including the US and Europe. The team successfully supported the client in protecting its intellectual property rights and pursuing damages exceeding USD 50 million.
Represented a major company in the agricultural sector in a high-stakes product liability class action concerning alleged health impacts linked to a widely used product. The team successfully challenged class certification and later secured a precedent-setting court order to decertify the class and dismiss the case, the first such outcome in Thailand. The matter involved potential exposure of approximately USD 20 million.
Represented a logistics company in defending an insurance lawsuit arising from a warehouse fire and in pursuing claims against third parties. The matter involved complex liability issues, parallel proceedings and forensic evidence, with successful outcomes in both defense and recovery actions.
Represented a leading insurance company in a class action lawsuit filed by the Thailand Consumers Council concerning claims for insurance payouts. The matter involved potential exposure of approximately USD 65 million.
Advised and represented leading real estate and infrastructure companies in a range of high-value disputes across Thailand. These matters included civil and consumer claims involving luxury residential and mixed-use developments, hotel and condominium projects and data center construction. Issues spanned ownership and servitude rights, construction compliance, advertisement and marketing claims and common area disputes. Several cases involved novel legal arguments, regulatory challenges and multimillion-dollar exposures.
