Kudun and Partners is pleased to share the successful delivery of a pro bono project undertaken to assist Yunus Thailand, a non-profit organisation devoted to achieving a World of 3 Zeros – Zero Net-Carbon Emission, Zero Poverty, and Zero Unemployment. The pro bono project centered around providing essential legal support on inquiries related to Thailand’s social enterprise law. Our team delved into three key areas:
-
- Comprehensive legal analysis on Thailand’s social enterprise law and and recommendations to relevant government counterparts.
-
- Recommendations on legal structures best suited for registration as a social enterprise in Thailand.
-
- Tax Guidance on entry into tax schemes, particularly Value Added Tax, addressing the unique needs of social enterprises with annual revenues exceeding THB 1.8 million.
Chai Lertvittayachaikul and Emi Rowse, partners at Kudun and Partners, led the initiative with support from Peerapong Pornpipatkul, Senior Associate, and associates Salinthip Anpattanakul and Thanpitcha Rojanawiboonchai.
We are honoured to contribute to Yunus Thailand, an organisation that shares our vision of fostering an inclusive economy where businesses not only thrive but also actively contribute to social and environmental well-being. Our collaboration embodies a shared dedication to fostering meaningful societal change at the intersection of law and social impact. As we move forward together, we eagerly anticipate supporting positive change and working towards making our community a better place.
