The Bangkok office was founded in 1977 by John W. Hancock, currently the Honorary Chairman, and Suchint Chaimungkalanont. Since opening, we have continually invested our talent and experience to make the Bangkok office the foremost international law firm in Thailand. By aggressively recruiting outstanding attorneys and emphasizing ongoing professional training, we have cultivated an experienced legal team whose members are not only locally licensed but many of whom are also qualified to practice in other international jurisdictions.

Our vision from the beginning has been to build an international practice on a firm local foundation. Thus we have slowly, steadily become one of the largest local/international hybrid firms in Bangkok. Our staff members, most of whom are Thai, have studied and worked abroad and regularly cooperate with attorneys in other Baker & McKenzie offices regionally and globally. Throughout the years these same lawyers have cultivated strong, valuable relationships with important persons in the local community, including academics, civil servants, business professionals, and leading politicians. Journalists frequently seek our partners' opinions on breaking legal news and legislators solicit their advice when drafting new laws.

Our Experience
The strength of the numbers and experience of our team allows us to offer clients the broadest range of legal services available in Thailand, from routine work permit and corporate registration to the most complex cross-practice, cross-border transaction. We typically provide each client with a point-of-service partner. Our clients reap the benefits of our vast experience working with financial institutions and international corporations in such industries as power, petrochemical, steel, infrastructure, and transportation. We proudly represent many Fortune 500 and Asia-Pacific 100 (the Financial Times) companies that operate in Thailand. At the same time, many of the foremost Thai companies trust our local expertise enough to choose us as their partner for outside legal counsel.
