Our team is a trusted advisor for leading multinational and local business on a wide range of matters. We provide know-how and experienced legal counsel across key sectors, combined with local understanding of our culture and legal system.

We’ve been consistently recognised as a leading law firm (and top-tier team) in Thailand by global legal directories and publications. Also, DLA Piper was named as the winning law firm for Innovation in adjacent services at FT Innovative Lawyers Europe Awards 2023.

Kickstart your career

We offer a structured internship programme at our Bangkok office which usually takes place during June and July of every year. During the eight weeks of the internship programme, students can expect a varied experience both in and outside the office, working in a creative, dynamic environment with our best legal professionals to gain first-hand experience of real legal work.

Empowering local impact

We are committed to supporting our communities; and all our lawyers are encouraged to take-on pro bono work. As part of our focus on displaced people, asylum seekers and refugees across the world, we support access to justice, help to empower people to advocate for their rights, and facilitate access to resettlement and economic opportunities. This commitment includes our award-winning Know Your Rights programme, where our pro bono work includes training for migrant workers and refugee workers from Myanmar on their legal rights in Thailand.
