Dej-Udom & Associates’ Business and Legal Intelligence is an ongoing series of newsletters, articles, and reports on business and legal matters in Thailand and the ASEAN region. Southeast Asia with its coming ASEAN Economic Community continues to garner global attention as an increasingly popular business and investment destination. However, in today’s marketplace, it’s difficult to stay current with all the information available, and for the potential investor, the amount of relevant data is staggering. Our monthly newsletter is intended to provide readers with general background information about current business developments in Thailand and the ASEAN region, and we also announce revisions or proposed changes to legislation, regulations and government policy. One of Dej-Udom & Associates’ strengths is its ability to serve as an international legal and business resource, and our Legal & Business Intelligence reports and articles are meant to be a gateway for new investors unfamiliar with Southeast Asia and allow the firm to pass on significant information about the region to our clients.
