[Thailand]
Thailand has a relatively well-established legal system among ASEAN countries that allows stable business activities. As the ASEAN market becomes unified in the form of the Asian Economic Community (AEC), the role of our Thailand Office as a gateway to entering the region gains more importance. Jipyong possesses an impressive track record of having advised on wide-ranging matters related to Thailand. Such matters have included the establishment, acquisition, and operation of Thai companies; real estate development; financing and collateral; ABL securitization of airfares; waste disposal projects financed by the Bank of Thailand; and franchising. Through our close relationships with local law firms, we have faithfully advised our clients in every industry on all aspects of investment in Thailand.
