MEET OUR TEAMS
As companies adapt to increasing regulatory oversight, our Regulatory Compliance team acts as a liaison, coalition builder and negotiator with government bodies. Our Thai and foreign lawyers have extensive knowledge of sector-specific regulations and provide business-focused advice to assure ongoing legal compliance.
Our advice on data privacy covers the full scope of compliance with the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA). From helping our clients understand the fundamentals of PDPA compliance, providing a gap analysis (including developing a questionnaire for PDPA compliance and a data inventory list, conducting interviews, holding workshops, implementing software-based data flow analysis and providing a gap analysis report and recommendations) and providing key PDPA compliance documents, to conducting PDPA training to build staff awareness and help mitigate non-compliance risk, we offer the full range of PDPA services.
We develop risk mitigation strategies to safeguard our clients’ assets and reputation and resolve corporate governance issues. We also conduct training programs for local staff on anti-bribery and counter-corruption regulations as well as compliance and coach on investigations into breaches of such policies.
We advise businesses on the impact of non-compliance on their transactions and day-to-day operations as well as guide clients on regulatory inspections and incident investigations.
