Tilleke & Gibbins’ annual Employment Law Forum was held on November 27 and 28, 2018, bringing counsel together from five countries to provide clients with a deep dive into the latest labor law developments across the emerging markets of Indochina.

The first day of the forum, which was held in Bangkok, honed in on employment law in Thailand, with presentations from leading Thai lawyers Chusert Supasitthumrong, Nutavit Sirikan, Penrurk Phetmani, Pimvimol (June) Vipamaneerut, and Sasirusm (Roll) Chunhakasikarn.

The second day of the event turned the spotlight on Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Vietnam (CLMV), examining the labor laws in each of these strategically important emerging markets and providing key updates for those doing business there. Leading counsel from Tilleke & Gibbins’ CLMV offices, including Dino Santaniello, Jay Cohen, Sophea Sin, Thomas J. Treutler, and Yuwadee Thean-ngarm, provided up-to-the-minute information from a well-versed, local perspective.

Boasting an impressive lineup of presenters and legal advice, the 2018 forum garnered over 150 attendees from across the region.
