A panel of Thai, UK and US lawyers will lead a stimulating discussion on the evolving Thai class action regime. Our panel will provide a primer on the relevant legislation, examine risks to business operators in Thailand, offer unique insight into existing Thai class action lawsuits, and take a comparative look at some noteworthy facets of class action practice, including discovery, lawyer fees and key components of class certification criteria.

Types of cases likely to be filed as class action lawsuits include: labor cases, breach of contract & warranties, product liability, environmental litigation and consumer protection. Consequently, this seminar will be of interest to anyone conducting business in Thailand and individual lawyers specializing in any area of Thai commercial law. There will also be the opportunity to network with fellow attendees after the panel discussion
