Bankruptcy & Business Rehabilitation Lawyer in Phetchaburi
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 Phetchaburi
Phetchaburi contains Cha-am, a resort town and holiday-home market with a substantial foreign buyer base, alongside farming and coastal fishing. The recurring issues are foreign property holding — including structures that have become customary but carry real risk — sale and long-lease agreements, condominium juristic-person disputes, and family cases involving a foreign spouse.
A holding structure being common does not make it safe; several have points at which they are voidable or unenforceable once tested in court. We review the structure and the documents so the real exposure is visible before a decision is made. 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 Phetchaburi Provincial Court.
