Dentons Launches Thailand Combination With Pisut & Partners, Expanding ASEAN Footprint To Seven Economies

By Amit Chowdhry • Feb 2, 2026

Dentons has officially launched its combination with Pisut & Partners, bringing one of the world’s largest global law firms into Thailand and extending its on-the-ground reach across seven of ASEAN’s largest economies. The move adds Thailand to Dentons’ existing ASEAN presence in Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, and Vietnam, positioning the firm to deliver cross-border legal support with local execution across one of the world’s most active regional trading blocs.

Pisut & Partners is a full-service Thai law firm known for advising across Dispute Resolution, Corporate/M&A, Employment, and Competition and Antitrust. The firm has built a strong profile in regional legal rankings and directories, including Asian Legal Business and Asialaw, and has spent nearly a decade supporting clients across core commercial practice areas.

Dentons framed the expansion as aligned with growing investor and corporate focus on Thailand, citing the country’s manufacturing base, tourism sector, and increasing momentum in digital technology and energy. The firm also pointed to rising foreign investment and government-backed innovation initiatives as reinforcing Thailand’s role as a hub for regional and international business activity.
