"I Didn't Know This Was Illegal" - A Dummies Guide To Thai Startup Law

Nobody starts a company thinking, “Today feels like a great day to accidentally break the law.”

Yet many founders unknowingly take legal risks in the early stages of building their companies.

‍

“I Didn’t Know This Was Illegal!” is a candid and practical conversation between serial investor

and founding CEO of good4u Simon Osborne and Thailand’s leading startup lawyer Parin

Kienthong, also known as Tim, about the mistakes founders make right before things go very

wrong. The discussion will explore company setup, shares, hiring, intellectual property and

fundraising, and the innocent looking shortcuts that can later become serious problems.

‍

Designed for pre seed founders, first time founders and operators building in Thailand’s startup

ecosystem, this session focuses on real stories, real mistakes and practical lessons rather than

legal jargon or theory. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of common legal traps

and greater confidence in making decisions that will not unravel later.
