About our team in Lampang

Lampang is the North's largest ceramics-manufacturing base and the site of the Mae Moh power plant and lignite mine. That economic structure drives the legal work here: factory labour cases, contractor and procurement disputes, environmental-impact and expropriation matters, and land disputes around the industrial zones.

We have handled labour and factory matters for employers for over 40 years — work rules, termination, and defending cases brought by large groups of employees at once. The team runs the file from our Khon Kaen head office and Bangkok branch and travels to appear at the Lampang Provincial Court and the Region 5 Labor Court as scheduled.

Frequently asked questions — defamation lawyer in Lampang

3 questions answered

If the publisher agrees to take down the post and issue a written apology, most matters end at negotiation. Suing makes sense where harm is clear-cut (lost customers, damaged business) or the publisher refuses removal. We help you weigh which route is faster and more cost-effective.
It depends on demonstrable harm and the parties' standing. Courts weigh reach of the publication, severity of the words, and real impact — lost revenue, costs of public correction, and reputational damage — the court sets the figure case by case based on what is proven.
Fair comment by a reasonable member of the public is generally a defence, but the line between fair comment and defamation is thin. Content that exaggerates or uses inflammatory language beyond what a critique requires can cross the line. We can review content before publication to assess risk.
