We are delighted to announce a major achievement for Mahanakorn Partners Group (MPG). Mr. Luca Bernardinetti, Chairman and Managing Partner of MPG, has been appointed as the Official Legal Counsel of the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates in Thailand. This prestigious role highlights Mr. Bernardinetti’s exceptional legal expertise and the strengthening ties between MPG and the UAE Embassy.

Mr. Bernardinetti’s appointment coincides with a critical period of deepening economic relations between the UAE and Thailand. With the initiation of Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) negotiations and a significant rise in foreign direct investment (FDI) from the UAE into Thailand, the need for proficient and strategic legal counsel has become increasingly vital. In 2023, UAE’s FDI into Thailand reached unprecedented levels, underscoring the UAE’s prominent role as an investor in the Thai market.

Recognized by key stakeholders in the United Arab Emirates, Mr. Bernardinetti, a distinguished legal advisor to several multi-billion-dollar conglomerates, family offices, and financial institutions in the UAE, has earned widespread recognition for his strategic approach to complex international legal matters. His legal acumen has been instrumental in securing this esteemed position. Under his leadership, our team has adeptly handled a wide range of consular and commercial issues, cementing our status as a trusted advisor to the Embassy and its nationals. This includes providing comprehensive legal support in areas such as dispute resolution, investment, trade compliance, and corporate governance.

This appointment is more than a professional accolade; it is a testament to Mr. Bernardinetti’s unwavering dedication and the confidence placed in him by both the UAE Embassy and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the UAE. His expertise and tailored approach to each case have significantly bolstered the collaborative relationship between MPG and the Embassy. The recognition as the Official Legal Counsel reflects the mutual respect and trust that define our partnership with the UAE Embassy.

MPG extends its sincere gratitude to the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates for this prestigious appointment. We view this as a profound endorsement of our capabilities and the strong professional relationship we have nurtured over the years. It is also a recognition of the tireless efforts of our entire team, who consistently deliver unparalleled service and support to our clients.

As we celebrate this milestone, we remain committed to maintaining the high standards that have earned us this honor. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with the UAE Embassy, further strengthening our bonds of trust and cooperation. Mr. Bernardinetti’s appointment as the Official Legal Counsel is not just a personal achievement but a proud moment for MPG, highlighting our dedication to excellence and our crucial role in serving the UAE community in Thailand.

This recognition motivates all of us at MPG to continue providing exceptional legal services and fostering relationships built on trust, professionalism, and mutual respect. We are proud of Mr. Bernardinetti’s accomplishments and remain steadfast in our mission to offer exemplary legal support to our clients, now and in the future.
