IAS Advisory included in prestigious Legal 500 client referral guide

IAS Advisory is proud to be recommended by Legal 500, the world-leading client referral series, in its latest Asia-Pacific guide, which was released earlier today after several months’ in-depth research.

Each of the firm’s partners, Mr Ittinant Suwanjutha, Mr Anuwat Ngamprasertkul, Mr Siripen Kulworakulpitak, Mr Chumphon Macharoen, and Mr Supachot Prasankiattiraj are highlighted in the 2026 guide to Thailand.

Ittinant is featured as a “Leading Partner” for his elite skillset and position at the top of Thailand’s real estate sector. Meanwhile, Supachot has been named as a “Leading Associate,” one of only three lawyers to receive this accolade for real estate in the entire country—demonstrating the quality of his work prior to his promotion to partner and yet more evidence of the capabilities of the firm’s Real Estate & Construction department.

Our Corporate/M&A and Dispute Resolution teams have also enjoyed notable success. High-flying senior associate Ms Sukontharat Nobnom and respected associates Mr Kannapop Khunrattanaphon and Ms Natpanee Pasuntaratum have all been commended.
