Thai Companies now increasingly have operations across the world. Management is increasingly asked to act as directors of foreign subsidiaries and companies in which Thai companies hold minority holdings.

This seminar will focus on the key legal issues that directors need to consider. They have general directors' duties as directors of foreign companies, but what does that really mean? Difficult questions may arise if the foreign company is a joint venture company and the director has been appointed to represent one particular shareholder's interests. In addition, there may be criminal liability for directors if their company engages in anti-competitive behaviour or breaks anti-bribery and corruption laws such as the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act or the UK's Bribery Act.
