Tilleke & Gibbins is delighted to announce the promotion of Somboon Earterasarun to the firm’s partnership, effective January 2017




As a member of the firm’s market-leading intellectual property practice, Somboon advises multinational clients doing business across Southeast Asia, while also managing the valuable IP portfolios of Thai companies that are expanding into international markets.

Over the past three years, he has led the firm’s operations in Indonesia, overseeing the growth of a team that was recently recognized by Legal 500 as “client oriented” and “highly efficient.”

Somboon has been singled out as a top IP practitioner by Legal 500, Intellectual Asset Management, World IP Review, and World Trademark Review, and in 2015 he was named to the Asian Legal Business “40 Under 40” list, placing him among the brightest lawyers under the age of 40 across Asia.

In his role as a partner, Somboon will continue to work with the firm’s clients in Indonesia, while also taking on a broader regional role within the practice.
