Tilleke & Gibbins Seminar on October 28: Director and Officer Liability

Subscribe to Updates

Directors and officers are increasingly faced with potential exposure to liabilities, both inside and outside Thailand. These liabilities can and often do extend beyond regulatory compliance into the area of individual criminal liability. To equip our clients with guidelines to tackle and prevent these risks, Tilleke & Gibbins will host an English-language seminar on director and officer liability on October 28.

With content driven by the extensive practical experiences of our litigation and corporate lawyers, the seminar will explore recent case studies and Supreme Court decisions that have altered the concept of traditional liability for directors and officers in Thailand. Our presentations at this event will cover: 

  • Directors’ civil and criminal liability
  • Civil and criminal procedures
  • Key domestic and extraterritorial laws affecting D&O liability
  • Recent legal developments relating to D&O liability

In addition, the program will feature a panel discussion that will give you the opportunity for an interactive, intensive group discussion of these issues. For more details, please see the attached agenda, including a map to the venue.
