IAS Advisory Internship Programme 2024iasadmin

Durham University student joins the team for summer internship

The firm was delighted to welcome Durham University student Ms Lavanya Dev-Kauffmann onto its Summer Internship Programme.

Lavanya, who is pursuing a Bachelor of Laws degree at the distinguished UK university, was a pleasure to get to know during her time with us last month.

With a diverse educational background spanning Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Europe, Lavanya was able to bring a global perspective to her assignments and to discussions with the firm’s legal personnel. Her prior experience in leadership roles in different legal-focused academic societies allowed her to settle in and contribute straight from the off.

As part of her internship, Lavanya gained exposure to intra-ASEAN cross-border transactions involving Thai companies, researched and prepared updates regarding recent changes to the law in Thailand, attended a knowledge sharing session with quantum experts from a corporate/cyber investigations unit, and helped our attorneys translate various Thai laws and regulations into the English language, among other activities.

Company Trip 2024, IAS Advisoryiasadmin

IAS Advisory enjoys beach getaway trip to charming Cha-Am

IAS Advisory recently returned from its annual company outing! The team enjoyed three days, from 17-19th May, in Thailand’s Phetchaburi province, near the famous beach getaway of Cha-Am.

We stayed at the lovely Vela Villa resort, located between the beaches of Chaosamran and Puak Tian, which is an area still largely untouched by tourists.

As part of the firm’s ongoing expansion we have recently welcomed several new joiners, and the resort provided the perfect balance of exclusivity and privacy needed for connecting new teams and building relationships and was an ideal place for us to relax and unwind.

The trip afforded us the opportunity to fully recharge our batteries ahead of another really busy year, as well as undertake various joint exercises and team-building activities in an ideal beach retreat setting.

Party activities included football, karaoke, pool/snooker, swimming and of course lots of eating, including several delicious BBQ dinners! These in addition to staff feedback and development sessions, which focussed on inspiring collaboration and engagement and creating a healthy and positive work environment at the firm.

The IAS Advisory team is already looking forward to its next adventure!
