Intellectual Property Law in Nan — About us

Nan borders Laos at the Huai Kon crossing and has an unusually high proportion of forest and mountain. What comes through the door reflects that: land and cultivation-right disputes overlapping forest zones, administrative cases between residents and state agencies, agricultural-land inheritance, and contract work for a tourism sector that has grown quickly.

Land cases overlapping forest zones only become clear once title documents, possession history, and the agency's boundary lines are read together. We check all three before advising whether to sue, defend, or negotiate, run the file from our Khon Kaen head office and Bangkok branch, and travel to appear at the Nan Provincial Court.
