Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘One thing that I like about DLA is the ability to understand our very specific requirements in agreement drafting and provide a set of options that we can put in the agreement. Those options are not just plain vanilla but rather test the extent to which the agreement can be drafted without going against the regulations, and the team was very well aware of the possible effects and being able to carefully explain these to us. We were able to make a well-informed decision based on the advice from the team. ’
‘Mainly I've worked with Mr Waranon Vanichprapa, Mr Pattadon Tejapaibul and Ms Sarita Prukaroon. Both Mr Pattadon and Ms Sarita have shown me commitment to meet the deadline, and to go beyond the scope of work to provide the best possible service.’
