Tilleke & Gibbins to Host International Trade Seminar

On February 5, 2020, Tilleke & Gibbins will host a seminar titled “The US-China Trade War and its Impact on Thailand and Southeast Asia.” The session will feature internal speakers from the firm as well as a special guest from Butzel Long, another Lex Mundi founding member firm. From Tilleke & Gibbins, presenters will include Cynthia Pornavalai, partner in the firm’s corporate and commercial practice; Waewpen Piemwichai, a registered foreign attorney in the firm’s Hanoi office; and Michael Ramirez, dispute resolution counsel in the Bangkok office. They will be joined by Leslie Alan Glick, shareholder and co-chair of the International Trade Group from the Washington, D.C., office of Butzel Long.

The presentations will examine aspects of how the US-China trade war and today’s international trade tensions are felt in Thailand and Southeast Asia. Attendees will gain insight into the impact of the trade war; responses and trade-friendly measures available in Thailand, Vietnam, and across Southeast Asia; and what companies can do to mitigate their risks and ensure that their international trading operations remain viable and profitable in these challenging times.
