Anti-Corruption

Tilleke & Gibbins provides integrated solutions to help clients comply with Thailand’s laws prohibiting private-to-public corruption, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), and other anti-corruption laws. The firm specializes in:

• Advising clients on anti-corruption laws and business culture in Thailand
• Designing compliance and training programs, with a particular focus on U.S. clients that have subsidiaries in Thailand
• Performing due diligence on agents, partners, and targets for acquisition or merger in Thailand
• Analyzing proposed and executed business actions under U.S., European, and Thai anti-corruption statutes

The anti-corruption practice area is led by David Lyman, a leading advisor in Thailand for more than 40 years. David is a member of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) Anti-Corruption Commission in Paris and is a founder of the ICC’s Thailand National Chapter and its Task Force on Corporate Governance and Anti-Corruption.

David is backed up by an international legal team with expertise in anti-corruption, corporate services, dispute resolution and litigation, government relations, intellectual property, and regulatory affairs. Our lawyers also have extensive experience resolving the full spectrum of customs and tax issues that may arise during the course of our clients’ operations in Thailand.
