Regulatory Compliance for Medical Herbal & Agricultural Products

At Formichella & Sritawat, we provide prudent advisory services on the regulatory framework governing herbal and agricultural products in Thailand, including cannabis and hemp, with an unwavering dedication to strict compliance and the ethical principles upheld by Thai policymakers. Our approach respects the authorities’ focus on safeguarding public health, protecting vulnerable populations such as youth, and ensuring that economic benefits accrue responsibly to local communities and farmers.

Under the guidance of Dr. Paul Crosio, our practice addresses the intricate requirements of Thailand’s pertinent legislation, such as the Thai Traditional Medicine Act, the Narcotics Act, and associated directives. Dr. Crosio brings extensive experience in administrative and corporate law, with scholarly contributions analyzing policy developments in regulated sectors, emphasizing the need for rigorous standards in cultivation, distribution, and use to align with national priorities. We counsel clients on licensing and governance, with particular attention to stringent agricultural and growing protocols, including Good Agricultural and Collection Practices (GACP) and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), which extend to a range of controlled herbal products beyond cannabis to promote sustainable and ethical industry practices.

This expertise is delivered through an interdisciplinary approach, seamlessly integrating our core competencies in corporate law, financial regulations, including banking and anti-money laundering compliance, real estate and zoning laws, civil law, criminal law, various agricultural laws, and Thai FDA regulations. This enables us to offer holistic support for multinational entities operating within Thailand’s evolving regulatory environment. Our commitment to excellence ensures that all guidance honors the ethical considerations of Thai policymakers, fostering responsible development in these sensitive areas.
