Asia IP

Tilleke & Gibbins has promoted Linh Thi Mai Nguyen to partner in its Hanoi office, where she heads the firm’s Vietnam trademark team. She brings a practical understanding of Vietnamese IP law to the partnership, both from a lawyer’s perspective and from the viewpoint of Vietnam’s legislators and judiciary, drawing on more than a decade of experience as IP counsel to owners of worldfamous brands, and five years as a legal program officer with the USAID-funded STAR project, where she coordinated with government agencies to ensure that Vietnam’s legal regime complied with international commitments.
