Tilleke & Gibbins Attorney to Speak at Thai Institute of Directors Program

Thai Institute of Directors

Kokbit Thienpreecha of the Tilleke & Gibbins corporate and commercial department has been invited to speak at a Dinner Talk for the Director Certification Program (in English), hosted by the Thai Institute of Directors, at the Millennium Hilton Bangkok Hotel on June 14, 2012.

Kokbit will speak about director legal liability, how directors can adapt their role readily for the upcoming AEC changes in 2015, and possible changes and amendments to the applicable law. He will also discuss impacts of legislation in such areas as anti-corruption, trade competition, anti-dumping and subsidized imports, consumer protection, and limitations on activities of foreign businesses.

The Director Certification Program is a course that is intended to broaden member directors’ knowledge and viewpoints. The IOD uses experiential learning through case studies and class discussions to help participants to learn about directorship, ranging from a director’s role in financial statements, to directing strategic processes.
