Blumenthal Richter & Sumet (BRS), Interlaw’s partner firm in Thailand, has been appointed as an Overseas Intellectual Property Service Provider for the Shenzhen (Nanshan) – Thailand corridor by the Nanshan District Government’s newly launched “Go Global” Global Service Center.

This nomination reflects BRS’s growing reputation as a trusted legal service provider to Chinese companies—not only in the Greater Shenzhen area but across China. Through its dedicated China Desk and longstanding collaboration with Interlaw’s China partner firm, Zhonglun W&D, BRS has steadily expanded its role in supporting Chinese enterprises with outbound investment, IP protection, regulatory compliance, and cross-border commercial transactions.

The designation recognizes BRS’s proven track record in providing strategic legal advice to Chinese businesses navigating international markets, and further strengthens the China–Thailand–ASEAN legal corridor established through the Interlaw network.

Senior Partner Andreas Richter stated, "This appointment is a direct result of the credibility and trust our China-focused team has built over the years. It demonstrates that the deep cooperation between Interlaw firms in Thailand and China continues to deliver real value for clients. I commend our China Desk team, including Partner Ekkarat Ritthiplang and  Chinese Attorney Tongxin Xie,  for their support in positioning BRS as a go-to legal partner for Chinese companies expanding into Thailand and Southeast Asia.
