Chusert, a litigator specialising in labour and employment law, deals with employment disputes, including labour strikes, layoffs, and contested for-cause terminations.
Sukontip, who focuses on IP enforcement, acts for apparel, automotive, electronic, and fashion companies to investigate infringers, draft warning letters, conduct mediations and negotiations, and collaborate with the police, the Department of Special Investigation, and Customs in raid actions and other enforcement measures. Her practice spans Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar.
