Written by Tilleke & Gibbins consultant David Duncan, the Thailand chapter of Employment Issues on a Transfer of Business in Asia introduces employers to the complex issues that arise when one business is acquired by another. The publication addresses such topics as:

• Implications of asset transfer versus sale of shares
• Necessity for employee consent to a transfer of employment
• Restrictions on the ability to reduce compensation and benefits without employee consent
• Issues in relation to outsourcing
• Requirements for termination of contracts

The chapter seeks to answer many of the common HR questions posed by both buyers and sellers during the course of an acquisition transaction.
