American Conference Institute

On December 6, 2019, John Frangos, partner and deputy director of Tilleke & Gibbins’ dispute resolution group, will share his insights on anti-corruption measures and compliance in Southeast Asia at the American Conference Institute’s (ACI) 36th International Conference on the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) in Washington, DC. This conference is the premier annual event for the global anti-corruption community, with updates from jurisdictions around the world. John will be joined on the Southeast Asia panel by Nathan Bush from DLA Piper in Singapore. Together they will give the regional regulatory and enforcement update—a comprehensive view of anti-corruption and compliance trends and practices in countries throughout the region, with John focusing on Thailand and Vietnam, as well as Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar.

This appearance comes on the heels of John’s recent participation in a regional ACI conference on anti-corruption and compliance practices in APAC, held in Singapore, where he moderated a panel on compliance developments, concerns, and trends in Southeast Asia with two representatives from highly regulated industries in the private sector.

On October 5, three attorneys from Tilleke & Gibbins’ dispute resolution group in Bangkok—associate Anyamani Yimsaard, counsel Suruswadee Jaimsuwan, and partner Thawat Damsa-ard—met with Judge Paopun Chopnamtaan, the vice secretary of Thailand’s Courts of Justice, to offer their comments on a proposed new system of recording witness testimony in the criminal court in Thailand. The current practice for creating a record of witness testimony in Thai courts is for the judge to speak a summary of the witness’ courtroom statements into an audio recorder for a court clerk to transcribe. The transcription is then read for all parties and the witness to confirm the accuracy of the content. The courts are in the process of replacing this practice with a system of recording witnesses’ courtroom testimony on video. The dispute resolution lawyers’ feedback was sourced mostly from the department’s most recent internal training session. They commented on the pros and cons of the program and shared their experiences with similar systems elsewhere, such as Singapore and the UK. The judge welcomed the input, and looked forward to considering how to apply their suggestions so that the proposed procedural changes can answer various stakeholders’ needs.
