Criminal Procedure in Practice

Criminal procedure is often taught as a sequence of rules — but in practice, it is about judgment calls, strategy and timing.

Over the past few months, our Senior Partner, Khun Sakchai Limsiripothong, together with Khun Sirapop Suathongkum and Khun Sorravich Prarom, had the opportunity to work with students from the LLBel (International Program) at the Faculty of Law, Chulalongkorn University — marking our second year supporting this course.

Across six sessions, the discussions focused on how cases actually move — from investigation and arrest through trial and appeal — and the practical considerations that shape each step.

Litigation is rarely linear, and that was something we were keen for the students to see early

Outside the classroom, students also spent time with the team through case discussions and workshops, getting a closer look at how litigation strategy is developed in practice.

What we appreciated most was the level of engagement and the quality of questions — often challenging assumptions and pushing the discussion further.

At Weerawong C&P, we see real value in giving students early exposure to how matters are handled in practice, and giving students a clearer sense of what the work involves.

We look forward to continuing our collaboration with Chulalongkorn University.

📢New Legal Update: The Zipmex Case – Class Actions in Digital Platforms and Consumer Businesses

As digital platforms and AI-driven business models continue to reshape the economy, the legal landscape for consumer protection is undergoing significant challenges and uncertainty.

In this must-read article, Phatsawat Siwawej (Partner) and Piyachon Jiraratmethakorn (Associate) explore the critical takeaways from the Court’s recent decision in the Zipmex case.

Despite involving over 800 investors and claims exceeding THB 5 billion, the Court recently rejected the request for a class action, opting instead for an ordinary civil procedure.

Our experts dive into the "key lessons" derived from this decision, focusing on:
• Key factors behind the Court’s refusal to proceed as class action.
• Strategic implications for digital platform operators.
• Impacts of the Court’s decision.

We’re excited to return to the Faculty of Law, Chulalongkorn University, for the second consecutive year.

Led by Senior Partner Sakchai Limsiripothong, a distinguished practitioner in criminal law, and supported by Partner Akaraporn Kulvijit, together with Associates Sirapop Suathongkum and Sorravich Prarom, our team is once again teaching the Criminal Procedure course in the LL.B. (International Program).

Bringing deep expertise and practical insight, Sakchai continues to guide the course with a strong focus on real-world criminal practice, while Akaraporn plays a key role in enriching the learning experience through his valuable perspective and guidance. With this approach, the course goes beyond textbooks. Drawing on his extensive experience in complex investigations and high-stakes litigation, we provide students with a clear and practical understanding of how the Thai criminal justice system operates in reality.

We are proud to support the next generation of legal professionals as they develop the skills, judgment, and integrity essential for a career in litigation.

We are pleased to share that members of our Dispute Resolution Practice Group, led by Khun Phatsawat Siwawej (Partner), together with Khun Chadamarn Rattanajarungpond, Khun Piyachon Jiraratmethakorn, and Khun Ketsirin Wisetwatcharawong, were invited to serve as judges at the National Rounds for the Selection of Thailand’s Representative to the ASEAN Law Association Moot Competition 2026, held on 17–18 March 2026. The event was organised by the Office of International Affairs of the Thai Arbitration Institute (TAI) in collaboration with the Arbitration Office of the Office of the Judiciary of Thailand.

This year’s problem was particularly compelling, focusing on an investor–state arbitration case under the ICSID Rules. The moot reflected critical contemporary issues in investment disputes, including the delicate balance between investment protection and state sovereignty—themes that are increasingly relevant in today’s international investment landscape.

We extend our congratulations to all participants for their dedication, and to the winning team, Celestial Fighters from Chulalongkorn University, for their outstanding performance. We wish them every success as they represent Thailand on the international stage.

At WCP, we remain committed to supporting the continued growth of international and investment arbitration within Thailand’s legal community. We also continue to strengthen our collaboration with leading foreign law firms to deliver favourable outcomes for our clients in the international arena.
