We are pleased to announce that Apiwatt Kongsoowan, a Partner at DS&B, has been elected as one of the five new Councilors. Apiwatt’s wealth of experience and dedication to intellectual property law make him a valuable addition to the Group’s leadership.

But that’s not all. DS&B lawyers have also left their mark on the APAA Standing Committees, playing a pivotal role in shaping intellectual property practices. Four of our esteemed lawyers have been elected as members across four out of the six Standing Committees:

Their election reflects the high regard in which they are held by their peers and their dedication to advancing intellectual property rights.
