IAS Advisory ranked in top legal guide, Chambers & Partners
IAS Advisory has been ranked in the highly prestigious client guide Chambers’ Asia-Pacific 2026 for the strength of its capabilities in Real Estate, Dispute Resolution, and Corporate/M&A, led respectively by firm co-founders Mr Ittinant Suwanjutha, Mr Anuwat Ngamprasertkul, and Ms Siripen Kulworakulpitak.
On top of its teams’ success, Ittinant, Anuwat and Siripen have each been singled out for their own individual performances and appear in Chambers’ renowned “Ranked Lawyer” listings.
Firms and individual practitioners often take years to attain “Ranked in Chambers” status. It is considered to be one of the legal industry’s definitive marks of excellence, as law firms and lawyers who achieve it must consistently stand out as one of the best in their field.
Congratulations to all IAS Advisory staff for helping the firm receive such meaningful recognition. It’s a big compliment, as Chambers’ research process is one of the most rigorous and in-depth of any legal directory on the market.
The firm greatly looks forward to building on this success next year, as it continues its expansion with larger offices and an ever-growing team of top legal practitioners.

MEDIA: protecting heirs from complications when making a will
When a loved one passes away, their estate is divided and distributed among the deceased’s heirs, typically children and grandchildren. Frequently, however, disputes arise due to the absence of a valid will or the existence of an unclear or ambiguous testament.
To prevent problems in future, it is essential to understand the legal procedures involved in drafting a will, the various types of will recognised by law, and the requirements necessary to ensure that the will is valid and enforceable.

Co-founding partners on 2025 “A-List of Top Lawyers in Thailand”
IAS Advisory co-founding partners Mr Ittinant Suwanjutha, Mr Anuwat Ngamprasertkul, and Ms Siripen Kulworakulpitak have all been included on Asia Business Law Journal (ABLJ)’s latest “A-List of Top Lawyers in Thailand.”
ABLJ is a well-known publication in Asia that aims to clarify the legal and regulatory environment in key jurisdictions. Its A-List is based on extensive independent research and impartial feedback.
To identify the top lawyers in Thailand, ABLJ turned to in-house counsel in Thailand and other countries around the world, to partners at international law firms, and to professionals at a wide range of Thai and global corporations. Nominations were also supported by insights from neutral secondary sources. As such, the A-List represents the combined observations and perspectives of those who are best placed to assess the performance of lawyers in Thailand.
Sincere thanks to ABLJ—it’s an honour to be on the A-List. That our work is recognised consistently year-on-year as being on a par with the country’s best lawyers demonstrates the skills and capabilities IAS Advisory has at its disposal.
Read the full A-List HERE.
ABLJ’s annual analysis also incorporates an editorial report and jurisdiction round-up for Thailand, which showcases the country’s leading practitioners and draws attention to their activities and impact over the last 12 months. Read it HERE.
MEDIA: how to manage inheritance distribution & avoid family disputes
When families lose a loved one, inheritance can sometimes become a source of conflict, leading to disputes over property. This is particularly true in cases where no will has been left or prior arrangements have not been made.
So, how can inheritance distribution be managed to prevent any rifts? What strategies can be used to reduce the likelihood of family disagreements? Also, what rights and entitlements should heirs be aware of to ensure a fair and smooth process?

Siripen contributes to ABLJ feature story on changes to the Thai FBA
IAS Advisory co-founding partner Ms Siripen Kulworakulpitak was pleased to contribute to Asia Business Law Journal (ABLJ)’s recent feature “Opportunity Knocks,” published on Tuesday 22nd July, about the Thai Cabinet’s decision to amend the Foreign Business Act (1999) (FBA).
The proposed reforms are intended to ease restrictions on foreign business ownership under the FBA and create a more open investment climate. Thailand’s Ministry of Commerce has also been instructed to revoke certain rules under the FBA deemed to have a negative impact on the country’s economic development.
While concerns have been raised over clarity, enforcement and fairness in respect of the amendments, there are doubts about the extent to which the government really intends to modernise the country’s investment framework, and questions remain about the opportunities that will actually be available.
For its feature, ABLJ engaged senior Thai lawyers and other experts to consider what the reforms mean for businesses in practice. Also, to discuss if real liberalisation is likely to follow. Siripen was supported in her work on this project by IAS Advisory senior associate and corporate/M&A specialist Ms Sukontharat Nobnom.
