Bankruptcy & Business Rehabilitation Lawyer in Chanthaburi
Bankruptcy and business rehabilitation fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Central Bankruptcy Court, governed by the Bankruptcy Act B.E. 2483 (as amended). The key distinction: bankruptcy collects and distributes an insolvent debtor's assets among creditors, while rehabilitation lets a still-viable business restructure its debts and keep trading under a court-approved plan. Our team acts for both creditors (claims and debt proof) and debtors (rehabilitation petitions, plan drafting, defence), weighing the option that best protects the client before any filing.

About our team in Chanthaburi
Chanthaburi runs two economies that generate their own disputes: a gem and jewellery market where high-value trades still rest on trust more than paperwork, and export orchards — durian above all — where Chinese packing houses and exporters buy at the grove. What follows is payment default, deposits, quality and grading disputes, and Cambodian border trade.
A trade done on trust is not an unenforceable trade — it means the case has to be built from the money trail, delivery records, and surrounding witnesses in place of the contract that does not exist. We have run this class of case for traders continuously. The team works in Thai, English, and Chinese, runs the file from our Khon Kaen head office and Bangkok branch, and travels to appear at the Chanthaburi Provincial Court.
