Bankruptcy & Business Rehabilitation Lawyer in Sukhothai
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 Sukhothai
Sukhothai runs on two legs — cultural tourism and rice-and-sugarcane farming on the Yom floodplain. The legal work follows: farm-household land and inheritance, debt and enforcement, contracts for accommodation and retail businesses around the historical park, and land-use restrictions inside heritage zones.
Heritage-zone land restrictions are usually discovered only after a stop order has issued, which is far harder to unwind than checking before investing. We check restrictions and permits first, run the file from our Khon Kaen head office and Bangkok branch, and travel to appear at the Sukhothai and Sawankhalok Provincial Courts.
