The pharmaceutical and healthcare industries are facing numerous challenges globally due to tightened controls, altered distribution landscapes and greater funding needs.
The challenges faced in Thailand are no different. New consumer protection and product liability legislation have increased the importance of compliance. Intellectual property violations pose a significant threat. Foreign investment restrictions require sophisticated financing structures.
We provide suppliers, distributors and other industry clients with advice on a broad range of issues critical to their success, including relevant Thai legislation, policy considerations, current issues and possible future trends. We also handle matters related to intellectual property protection, distribution and licensing agreements, as well as advertising and marketing. We can assist with:
Advertising and marketing – Advising on regulations, standards and codes of practice relating to the marketing and promotion of pharmaceutical products and medical devices
- Commercial agreements – Negotiating and drafting distribution, outsourcing, franchising, marketing, licensing and consulting agreements
- Dispute resolution – Handling all types of commercial disputes and product liability matters, from pre-litigation until resolution
- Transfer pricing and tax – Preparing transfer pricing and tax planning strategies and structures to help companies establish optimal long-term tax positions
- M&A – Structuring and implementing public and private company merger and acquisition transactions. With the benefit of full-serviced local offices in many of the world’s developed and emerging markets, we are able to handle multi-jurisdictional mergers and acquisitions, as well as purely domestic transactions.
- Regulatory Affairs – Advising on regulatory issues affecting market entry and local distribution, including importation of health and medical products and preparation of product registration. We also assist clients who are seeking to take advantage of the opportunities that the AEC presents and their need for comprehensive, coordinated, ASEAN-specific advice and ASEAN regulatory approval services.
