Client Seminar on July 14: Implementing an Effective Compliance Program in Southeast Asia

Subscribe to Updates
Tilleke & Gibbins

Companies doing business in Thailand and across Southeast Asia are exposed to increasing legal and reputational risks. Regulations from the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act to Thailand’s wide-ranging corporate criminal laws can have significant repercussions on an organization. In many cases, directors and officers can also be criminally responsible for a company’s actions.

At the same time, corporate conduct is increasingly in the public eye. Stakeholders are engaged to ensure that companies are socially responsible actors. A single corporate scandal can have far-reaching implications for a company’s reputation and profits.

On July 14, Tilleke & Gibbins will host a client seminar to discuss how to design and implement an effective compliance program which can help reduce these risks and ensure your company operates legally and ethically. During the seminar, we will review:

  • The influence of domestic and international laws on corporate compliance efforts
  • Unique challenges for compliance within emerging Southeast Asian economies
  • Framework for effective compliance in Thailand and Southeast Asia
  • Tailoring a global program for the local environment
  • Techniques to conduct risk assessments
  • Responding to detected offenses

Full details of the event are as follows:

On February 1, 2021, the Myanmar military declared a state of emergency in the country and took control of the government, arresting State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi, President Win Myint, and other senior government officials from the National League for Democracy. The seizure of power, and the government’s subsequent actions to suppress public protest and dissent, have received widespread international condemnation.  The USA, Canada, and the UK have reacted by imposing economic sanctions on certain companies and individuals, and more sanctions are expected as the situation in Myanmar evolves. These sanctions pose a major concern for foreign investors with interests in Myanmar—concern which is exacerbated by the lack of clarity about the current situation on the ground. To address these issues, Lex Mundi is bringing together leading legal authorities on the topic from Myanmar, Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom for a special webinar on March 23, 2021. The speakers, which include Tilleke & Gibbins counsel Ross Taylor, will discuss the situation on the ground in Myanmar; how the sanctions imposed this time differ from previous restrictions on Myanmar under earlier regimes; the impact of the sanctions imposed by each country; and the practical impact of sanctions on companies with operations in or relating to Myanmar. The session will be followed by a Q&A with all speakers, where attendees will be able to address any specific queries they might have.
