What we handle for corporate clients

Companies referred to us tend to ask the same question first: is our kind of work already inside what the firm does? Below is the actual scope, not a list of results.

The company's day-to-day legal work

Reviewing incoming contracts before signature, tightening the templates used repeatedly, answering the questions sales and HR raise, issuing demand letters and formal correspondence, and handling company registry filings when directors, capital or objectives change.

The employer side

Building work rules and employment documents that hold up, reviewing the process before a termination, responding to labour inspector orders, and appearing in the Labour Court when a matter gets there — including visas and work permits for foreign staff.

Factories and industrial-estate operations

Factory operating licences and licence transfers, land and use-rights diligence before construction, contractor agreements inside the plant, customs post-clearance audits, and environmental and safety complaints.

Foreign investors

Shareholding structure and incorporation, foreign business licensing, investment promotion and post-promotion compliance, land and building rights, and profit repatriation. The team works in Thai, English and Chinese.

When a dispute arises

Demand letters and negotiation, mediation or arbitration where the contract provides for it, litigation and enforcement, and cross-border trade debt recovery — handled by the same team that does the routine work, so nothing has to be re-explained.
