The combination reinforces Dentons’ commitment to delivering exceptional client service across ASEAN and beyond and is positioned to connect clients to talent in the seven largest ASEAN economies: Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Thailand, Singapore, and Vietnam.
The combination will strengthen the firm’s ability to serve both local and international clients by integrating Dentons’ global reach with Pisut & Partners’ local market knowledge and expertise. It will also meet the growing demand for cross-border legal services in one of the region’s major economies.
In-House Community asked Pisut Rakwong, Managing Partner of Pisut & Partners:
“What inspired the firm to take this significant step of combining with Dentons, and how does this reflect your firm’s commitment to innovation and excellence in the legal industry?”
Pisut responded:
“The decision for Pisut & Partners to combine with Dentons was driven by our commitment to delivering world-class legal services while maintaining deep local expertise. By joining forces with the world’s largest global law firm, we are enhancing our ability to provide seamless, high-quality legal solutions to clients both in Thailand and internationally.
This step reflects our firm’s dedication to innovation and excellence, allowing us to leverage Dentons’ extensive global network, advanced legal technologies, and cross-border expertise. Our clients will benefit from expanded capabilities and a broader service offering, ensuring that we continue to meet their evolving needs in an increasingly complex legal landscape.
We are excited about this new chapter and look forward to contributing to Dentons’ vision of transforming the legal industry with a truly global yet locally grounded approach,” said Pisut.
Dentons Global CEO Kate Barton added:
“Partnering with Pisut & Partners strengthens our position as the premier global law firm in ASEAN, connecting clients to the best legal talent in the region and worldwide. With Thailand playing an increasingly significant role in the global economy, this combination ensures that our clients have the local insights and global reach they need to meet their business needs.”
Dentons’ unique polycentric approach allows each new combination firm to retain control of their operations, finances, and leadership while gaining access to global resources and talent. This model has been a key differentiator, enabling Dentons to expand while preserving the operational independence of its combination firms.
Following approval by the partners, the combination with Pisut & Partners is expected to launch in the coming months.
