Advisory work in this region is only as good as the limits the adviser accepts. Ours are written down, binding on every person at the firm, and available in full to clients, counterparties and regulators before an engagement begins, rather than after a dispute.
Firms in this market talk about integrity. We publish the rules we can be held to. Each policy below states what we screen, what we refuse, how information is held, and who inside the firm is accountable when a rule is tested.
The policies bind every partner, adviser and contractor. They are reviewed annually by the managing partners and re-issued in full rather than amended quietly.
Every prospective engagement is screened against live and closed matters before intake, including the identities of counterparties, targets and their known beneficial owners. Screening is run by a partner who is not the one bringing the work.
Where a conflict exists, we decline. We do not manage our way around one with consents or internal separation, and we tell the enquiring party that a conflict is the reason without disclosing whose interest is involved.
Client files are held on a need-to-know basis: access is granted per matter, logged, and withdrawn when the adviser leaves the engagement. Working papers do not move onto personal devices or consumer file-sharing services.
Confidentiality survives the engagement without expiry. We do not name clients in marketing, credentials or references without written permission, and we do not confirm the existence of a mandate to third parties.
Where an engagement exposes us to material non-public information, the matter is walled at intake. Wall-crossings are approved individually, recorded with a timestamp and a reason, and the crossed adviser stays on a restricted list until the information is public or stale.
Neither the firm nor any individual at it trades in a security, asset or private interest connected to a live mandate. Personal dealing is pre-cleared against the restricted list without exception.
Anyone, whether a client, counterparty or member of the public, may raise a suspected breach directly with the managing partners at governance@calnor.co. Every report is acknowledged within five business days and answered in writing.
Calnor is an advisory firm, not a licensed law practice in the Kingdom of Thailand. Where a matter requires licensed representation before a Thai authority, we instruct and manage local counsel and say so in the engagement terms.
If your counsel or compliance team needs a provision explained, an engagement term amended, or confirmation of our position before instructing us, write to the governance address and a managing partner will answer directly.
