When an official order or a tax assessment is wrong, the law still gives you a route.
PDPA Compliance & Data Protection Counsel
Making every use of customer and staff data explainable — before someone complains.
Customs, Import–Export & Tariff Disputes
One wrong tariff digit changes a year of landed cost — and the penalty can exceed the duty.
Online Fraud: Account Freezing & Recovery
The first hours matter most: money still sitting in the account is money still recoverable.
Construction & Property Development Disputes
Construction cases turn on what the site records say, not on elegant contract wording.
Hotel, Hostel, Villa & Restaurant Licensing
Opening before the permit stack is complete is the kind of risk that can shut a venue down in a single day.
Opening & Running a Compliant Clinic or Medical Facility
A clinic that meets premises standards is not automatically running advertising that meets the same bar.
Frozen Accounts, Mule-Account Allegations & Money Laundering
An account can be frozen within a minute. Unfreezing it turns on the quality of the very first bundle you file.
Traffic Offences, Drink Driving & Reckless Driving
Some traffic cases move quickly, and statements given at the arrest stage may be used as evidence.
Narcotics Defence — Possession, Supply & Treatment Diversion
Quantity, the circumstances of possession, and the first statement given: those three decide a narcotics case.
Medical Malpractice — Claims Against Doctors & Hospitals
Medical cases are not won on the feeling that treatment went badly. They are won on records and expert opinion.
Denied Insurance Claims — Recovering the Indemnity You Are Owed
A denial letter is not a verdict. The clause an insurer leans on usually reads more than one way.
Extradition, Deportation & Immigration Blacklist Defence
When liberty turns on a border line, every day left unattended is one option fewer.
Prenuptial Agreements, Cross-Border Marriage & Adoption
An agreement written while things are good is what keeps you out of court when they are not.
Franchise & Distribution Agreements — Scale Without Losing the Brand
Franchises that grow fast and then break rarely break on product. They break on a contract written when there was one branch.
Securities and Digital-Asset Licensing — Applications That Survive the Regulator
Most applications fail not on missing paperwork but on an unclear answer to one question: how is client money kept apart?
Environmental and Factory Disputes — For Communities and Operators Alike
Odour, noise, dust, and effluent become litigation when two years of complaints go unanswered.
White-Collar and Corruption Cases — Defence That Starts at the Internal Inquiry
The most damaging statement is usually made in a company meeting room, not an interview room.
Cybercrime, Data Breach, and Liability for AI Systems
When data leaks the clock starts at once, and the law measures from when you knew — not from when the review is finished.
Cargo, Shipping and Transport Claims — Recovering Value Before the Clock Runs Out
Cargo claims are rarely lost on the facts; they are lost because nobody objected in writing on the day of delivery.
Talent, Creator and Music Rights — Keeping the Income With the Person Who Made the Work
The trouble rarely starts with the falling-out; it starts with a contract that has no end date and no cap on recoupable costs.
Class Proceedings and Consumer Claims — When Many People Are Harmed by One Practice
A few thousand baht each is never worth an individual suit; it is worth a great deal as one case.
Social Security and Workmen's Compensation — Recovering Benefits That Were Refused
Appeal within the deadline, and the Labour Court remains available if the decision is not changed.
Affidavits and Sworn Statements Before a Notarial Services Attorney
What makes a statement usable abroad is not elegant drafting but a deponent who swore it correctly in front of someone entitled to take the oath.
Signature Certification for Bank, Broker and Overseas Agency Forms
Plenty of overseas forms fail at one box only: the line that reads signed before me.
Certified True Copies for Filing With Thai and Foreign Authorities
The original should stay with you; the certified copy is what ought to travel.
Powers of Attorney That the Land Office, Banks and Courts Actually Accept
A mandate drafted too widely endangers the grantor; drafted too narrowly it leaves the attorney unable to act.
Consular and Embassy Legalisation — The Whole Chain, From Translation to Destination
Thai documents are rarely refused on content; they are refused because one layer of authentication was skipped.
Legal Translation and Certification That Passes Courts, Agencies and Embassies
In legal work the best translation is not the most elegant; it is the one a reviewer can trace back to the source line by line.
Police Clearance Certificates and Criminal Record Checks for Overseas Use
Missed immigration deadlines usually trace back not to the record itself but to fingerprints taken below standard.
Corporate Document Certification for Cross-Border Deals and Foreign Registrations
Cross-border deals stall on one corporate document that was never certified to the right level.
Defamation Claims and Online Reputation Recovery
Damaging words travel faster than any legal process, so the real work starts with capturing proof before the post disappears.
Condominium and Housing Estate Juristic Person Disputes
Most condominium conflicts do not begin with the law; they begin with a resolution passed at a meeting that was convened the wrong way.
Guardianship, Curatorship and Managing the Affairs of an Incapacitated Person
Families usually discover they need a court order on the day the bank refuses to release money for hospital bills.
Civil Status and Registration Work, from Legitimation to Correcting Faulty Records
One misspelt letter on an official record can stall a land sale, an inheritance claim and a visa application at the same time.
Thai Permanent Residence and Nationality Applications
A work permit can be renewed every year, but only residence and nationality remove the renewal from your life altogether.
Shareholder Disputes and Director Liability in Thai Limited Companies
Partnerships that began on trust with nothing written down are the ones that reach court at the highest cost.
Government Procurement, Bid Protests and Contract Claims
Losing to a slanted specification and losing on price are two completely different legal situations.
Energy and Renewables — Licensing, PPAs and Concession Work
A power project usually dies at the zoning stage long before anyone argues about panels or turbines.
Banking, Secured Lending and Debt Restructuring
Security registered the wrong way is worth exactly nothing on the day the borrower collapses.
Competition Law and Unfair Trade Practices
A clause that reads as ordinary commerce can look like abuse of market power to the regulator.
Foundations, Associations and Non-Profit Governance
Charities fail because of loosely drafted articles far more often than because donations dried up.
Enforcing Foreign Judgments and Arbitral Awards in Thailand
Winning in London or Singapore still means proving the case again in Bangkok unless an arbitration clause was in place.
Virtual Office — Registered Address That Passes VAT Inspection
A registered address with landlord consent papers and a real office the Revenue officer can inspect.
Company Registration in Thailand for Foreign Shareholders
A shareholding structure that is lawful from day one — no nominee arrangements.
Monthly Outsourced Accounting for Foreign-Owned Thai Companies
Books closed monthly, filings on time, and an English report your head office can actually read.
Annual Accounts, Statutory Audit, and Filing in Thailand
Closing, auditor, shareholder meeting, and filings sequenced to land before the deadline.
Monthly Legal Retainer for Foreign Businesses Operating in Thailand
A standing lawyer who already knows your business and answers before a problem becomes a case.
Notarial Certification Aimed at a Named Authority Overseas
Certification the receiving office actually accepts, because we ask who receives it before we sign anything.
Getting VAT Approved on a Shared Registered Address
The site, the file, and the answers lined up with what the revenue officer comes to look at.
Branch Office Registration for Foreign Companies in Thailand
A branch is the same legal person as the head office — simpler to set up, but the parent bears full liability.
Representative Office Registration in Thailand
Limited to five statutory activities with no revenue allowed — suited to market research and liaison work.
Thai–Foreign Joint Venture Structuring
Balanced shareholding, joint venture agreements, and control rights — designed correctly from day one.
Foreign Business Licence (FBL) under the Foreign Business Act
We map the restricted lists and choose the best route: FBL, Treaty of Amity, or BOI promotion.
BOI Investment Promotion Application
Corporate tax holidays, 100% foreign ownership, and fast-track work permits — for qualifying activities.
Non-Immigrant B Visa for Working in Thailand
The gateway visa before a work permit — the employer's readiness matters as much as your own papers.
Non-O Visa for Marriage and Family Dependants
For spouses of Thai nationals, parents of Thai children, and dependants of work-permit holders.
90-Day Reporting (TM47) and TM30 Address Notification
Two different duties with different responsible parties — missing either brings fines and extension trouble.
Long-Term Resident (LTR) Visa — 10 Years
Four qualifying groups, annual reporting, and tax perks for some — with strict screening at the BOI.
Thailand Privilege Membership (formerly Thailand Elite)
A 5- to 20-year membership visa with no income test — but no right to work.
Overstay Resolution and Re-Entry Bans
500 baht a day, capped at 20,000 — but the re-entry ban is what really needs planning.
Buying Property in Thailand as a Foreigner
Condos can be freehold within the 49% quota — land and houses need other structures that demand careful review.
Contract Review for Foreigners and Cross-Border Business
An English contract used in Thailand must still fit Thai law — some clauses cannot be enforced even when both sides agree.
Thailand Retirement Visa (Non-O) for Applicants Aged 50+
Stay in Thailand year by year on provable savings or income — no job, no employer needed.
Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) for Remote Workers and Soft Power Activities
A five-year multiple-entry visa with 180-day stays for people working for overseas employers or joining soft power activities.
Thailand Work Permit for Foreign Employees and Directors
A Non-B visa alone is not enough — the work permit must be issued before work begins. We handle everything from company thresholds to booklet collection.
Thailand Permanent Residence and Thai Citizenship Applications
From yearly visas to permanent status — PR opens once a year, while citizenship requires years of residence and Thai language ability.
US-Thailand Treaty of Amity Company Registration
A privilege reserved for US nationals — a section 11 FBA certificate for qualifying activities.
Thailand Tourist Visa and Stay Extensions
Visa exemption, single- or multiple-entry tourist visas, and stay extensions — matched to your nationality and travel plan.
Thai Bank Account Opening for Foreigners and Companies
Personal and corporate accounts — documentation matched to each bank's criteria from the first visit.
TM30 Residence Notification and Certificate of Residence
Getting the address notification right from day one — the foundation of every extension and official document that follows.

Wages, severance, social security and changing employers — rights checked against each worker's document status.
PDPA Personal Data Breach Claims
Complaints, damages claims or defence when personal data is misused or leaked.
Informal Loans and Excessive Interest
Review the loan paper, what has already been paid and the complaint routes when a lender charges more than the law allows.

Guarantor Liability and Defence
Chased or sued as a guarantor — check the notice, void clauses and grounds for release before paying.
Car and Motorcycle Hire-Purchase Disputes
Repossession, an auction shortfall claim or a missing early-settlement discount — checked against the OCPB 2022 notification.
Remote Work Agreements and the Right to Disconnect
Drafting or reviewing work-from-home terms against section 23/1, for employers and employees alike.
