Legal counsel for investors and companies in Thailand

We find the route that fits your business, draft the documents, and see you through.

Practice Areas

What we do

Six practice areas. Each has its own page setting out what the work covers and what it produces.

01

Corporate Compliance & Governance

We review your structure, registers, minute books and filings against the criteria Thai authorities apply, and put the records back in order.

What this covers
02

Corporate & Commercial

Whether the route is BOI promotion, a Foreign Business Licence, the US Treaty of Amity or a Thai-majority structure, we document what it needs, including share transfers and director changes.

What this covers
03

Contracts & Documentation

Every agreement is written for the specific arrangement rather than pulled from a template, whether shareholders, directorship, partnership, employment or service.

What this covers
04

Real Estate & Property

The lease, the Sap-Ing-Sith or the superficies is drafted and registered at the Land Office, along with purchase agreements and construction contracts.

What this covers
05

Due Diligence & Risk

We check what you are buying before you pay for it, whether land or a company, and report what the registers show, what they do not, and what is still open.

What this covers
06

Ongoing Advisory

You keep the consultant who already knows the file, with company secretary support and an annual compliance review, without opening a new matter each time.
