Overview
Mediums is a newly established corporate and M&A boutique founded in October 2025 by former Kudun and Partners partners Peerasanti Somritutai and Ekachai Chotpitayasunon. Despite being only months old, the firm has quickly built a practice advising domestic and international clients — including multinational corporations, strategic investors, family-owned businesses, and emerging companies — on the full range of corporate and M&A matters, including transaction structuring, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, disposals, and corporate governance. The firm also advises start-ups and emerging companies on fundraising, strategic partnerships, and exit planning. Founding partner Peerasanti Somritutai focuses on corporate and M&A, corporate and project financing, and real estate transactions. Co-founding partner Ekachai Chotpitayasunon specialises in capital markets and M&A, with particular depth in IPOs, debt and equity offerings, private placements of debentures and debt instruments, and cross-border transactions. The firm significantly strengthened its bench in October 2025 with the lateral hire of two partners and an associate, all joining from Kudun and Partners. Peerasanti Somritutai joins as Partner, bringing expertise across corporate and M&A, banking and finance, foreign direct investment, real estate, and energy, while Ekachai Chotpitayasunon also joins at Partner level, with a broad practice spanning corporate and M&A, capital markets, real estate, industrials and manufacturing, media and entertainment, financial services, food and beverages, and healthcare and pharmaceuticals. Completing the group is Sunantha Thungla, who joins as Associate focusing on dispute resolution, real estate, industrials and manufacturing, and banking and finance.
