We advise on tax issues arising out of employment and tricky “independent contractor” relationships. We handle investigations and compliance audits. We understand the importance that multinational companies place on trade secret protection, anti-corruption compliance and anti-competition restrictions. We are the “go to” firm for international companies with operations and subsidiaries in Thailand.
