About

Provided by Tilleke & Gibbins

Tilleke & Gibbins regularly provides practical advice on antitrust and competition laws in Thailand, including price control, merger control, abuse of dominant position, hardcore and non-hardcore cartel arrangements, and various unfair trade practices. In addition, we also conduct antitrust due diligence exercises for our clients ahead of major commercial transactions and provide practical antitrust and competition training to sales and marketing personnel.

Our team possesses a deep understanding of the realities of business development in Thailand and Southeast Asia and uses this insight to create effective and compliant action plans for market entry and expansion in the region. In our dynamic practice, we represent clients in such diverse fields as aviation, financial services, food and beverage, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, raw materials, technology, and textiles, among others.

While Thailand historically has a reputation for being relatively lax in the enforcement of competition measures, the ground is shifting after significant developments in this area over the past couple of years. Tilleke & Gibbins is recognized as a thought leader and go-to advisor on these changes and has worked hard to keep our clients up to date on the associated business implications.
