Thailand

Our firm regularly seconds our lawyers to reputable local firms in Thailand due to Thailand's reputation as a pro-Japanese country in which many Japanese manufacturers have maintained a presence for a considerable period of time and also due to the expected growth of the Thai market. Our firm opened its Bangkok Office in May 2016. AMT, through our Bangkok Office utilizing our Japanese and Thai qualified lawyers, supports many Japanese companies in a wide variety of areas including joint ventures, M&A transactions, finance, compliance, competition and anti-trust, internal misconduct, dispute resolution and intellectual property. Where necessary, we collaborate with reputable local firms depending on the nature of the specific matter or transaction. In addition, we have considerable experience in assisting Thai companies to invest in Japan through a variety of means, including capital investments and real estate acquisitions. Furthermore, through our Bangkok Office and with the assistance of reputable local firms, AMT is supporting Japanese related transactions in Myanmar, Cambodia and Laos. The Bangkok Office takes advantage of AMT's offices in Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka, as well as the Singapore and Ho Chi Minh offices and Jakarta Desk in the ASEAN region and we are able to provide prompt and high quality service to our clients.
