ESB Dinner June 2025

Post-Event Recap: Legal Insights Shared at the ESB Dinner

Staying ahead in Thailand’s dynamic legal landscape through collaboration and industry dialogue.

Legal & Industry Dialogue at the ESB Dinner

FRANK Legal & Tax was honored to participate in the recent ESB Dinner held at Pullman Pattaya Hotel G, where legal and business professionals gathered for a meaningful evening of discussion, networking, and knowledge-sharing. 

Our Managing Partner, Fabian Doppler, and Senior Associate, Creighton Franz, were invited to share insights on two key topics currently shaping the business environment in Thailand: 

  • Nominee Shareholding Structures: Ongoing developments and legal considerations for foreign investors navigating regulatory compliance. 
  • Proposed Amendments to the Foreign Business Act (FBA): What the potential changes could mean for foreign ownership thresholds and business classifications in Thailand. 

These updates were shared in light of increased scrutiny and reform initiatives impacting how foreign-owned entities operate within Thailand. Our speakers offered practical legal perspectives, helping participants understand the implications and prepare proactively for future regulatory shifts. 

We extend our sincere thanks to Frank Holzer and Watcharin (Elly) for their excellent event coordination and to Simon Angove for graciously hosting the dinner. The atmosphere was one of open exchange, where attendees engaged in thoughtful discussion alongside industry leaders and legal experts. 

Events like the ESB Dinner serve as important forums to stay informed and connected, especially as Thailand’s business and legal landscape continues to evolve. At FRANK Legal & Tax, we value these opportunities to share knowledge, build relationships, and support businesses with clear, strategic legal guidance.
