As a long-standing KorumLegal client, Agoda draws on both our MLS and People solutions.
With hubs across Asia, Agoda’s legal team is headquartered in Thailand, where local resources are limited. To augment their in-house legal and compliance functions, they have repeatedly engaged us to provide specialised consultants on a secondment basis. Secondments have included a payments lawyer in Singapore and a financial crimes compliance professional in Hong Kong.
Support has ranged from high-level contract-related matters to payment regulatory compliance and the development of financial crimes compliance frameworks, as well as day-to-day corporate tasks.
Agoda’s General Counsel has been particularly appreciative of our speedy execution. In one particular instance, we were able to onboard a consultant to their Hong Kong office within a week of the initial meeting, thanks largely to our in-depth understanding of Agoda’s business.
