Veeranuch Thammavaranucupt (L) and Pathorn Towongchuen, former practice area heads at Thailand’s Weerawong C&P, have left to establish a new firm in Bangkok called TTT & Partners.

Veeranuch, who led Weerawong's capital markets and corporate governance practice groups since 2016, has a track record in both domestic and cross-border transactions. These include Asset World’s $1.6 billion IPO, Jasmine International Internet Infrastructure Fund’s $1.7 billion IPO, and the $771 million restructuring of PTT’s petrochemical, propane and bioplastic businesses.

Veeranuch joined Weerawong in 2015 from Thai telecom major DTAC, where she was general counsel.  Prior to that, she was a partner at Linklaters, a member of the Takeover Panel of the Securities and Exchange Commission of Thailand, and also practiced at Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer.

Pathorn spent 17 years at Weerawong, and led its dispute resolution practice group since 2017. In 2021, he was named as one of the ALB Asia 40 Under 40.

Joining Veeranuch and Pathorn at their new firm are corporate partner Chanvit Prachayapipat, senior counsel James Lawden (a former partner of Freshfields), counsel Sappawit Jansuparerg and Parithat Chamnongsilp - all from Weerawong C&P - and ten senior and mid-level associates.
