Compliance and anti-corruption are issues of significant concern for business executives and in-house counsel. Companies are faced with a myriad of compliance obligations both locally in the jurisdictions where they do business and internationally due to obligations under the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), the U.K. Bribery Act, and other similar legislation. To help better equip businesses to deal with these issues, Tilleke & Gibbins is organizing an exclusive seminar to allow our clients to hear directly from a senior representative of the U.S.

Thailand’s Organic Act on Counter-Corruption was recently amended to impose strict liability on companies for corrupt acts committed by a company’s “associated persons,” unless there are “adequate procedures” in place to prevent such corruption. In addition, the amendments criminalize corruption that involves “foreign officials” and impose the death penalty on foreign officials that engage in corrupt activities.
