International Trade Law in Bangkok — About us

Service for Bangkok and its metropolitan area — Thailand's capital and its financial and industrial hub. We have a Bangkok branch office in Lat Phrao and appear at the Civil, Criminal, Central Labor, Central Tax, and Central IP & International Trade Courts. We cover factories and operators across Bangkok-area industrial estates such as Lat Krabang, Bang Chan, Gemopolis, Nava Nakorn, Bang Kadi, Bangpoo, and Bang Phli — labor and wrongful-termination cases, import-export customs, BOI investment, and commercial-contract advisory.

We specialize in Bangkok's specialized courts — IP, Central Tax, Central Labor, and Central Administrative — plus M&A, foreign investment, and advisory work for factories in industrial estates: labor and termination disputes, factory and environmental compliance, customs procedures, and BOI privileges. We keep a Bangkok branch office in Lat Phrao and our partners travel to Bangkok regularly, serving clients at lower cost than a downtown-capital firm.
