Considered Legal Counsel for Corporate Thailand

We provide guidance on mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, and corporate restructuring involving Thai entities or cross-border elements. Our advisory extends from initial structuring through due diligence, negotiation, regulatory filings, and closing documentation. Each engagement is shaped around the specific commercial objectives and regulatory context of the transaction.

For fintech companies entering or operating in Thailand, we assist with understanding Bank of Thailand licensing pathways, regulatory sandbox participation requirements, consumer protection obligations, and anti-money laundering frameworks. The service includes a regulatory mapping exercise to identify applicable requirements and a roadmap for compliance implementation.

Our PDPA compliance service begins with a gap analysis to identify areas where current practices may not align with the Personal Data Protection Act. We then develop a prioritized action plan, assist with privacy policy and consent form drafting, support the establishment of Data Protection Officer functions, and prepare breach notification procedures. The engagement is designed for organizations handling personal data in Thailand, regardless of size or sector.

Transaction timelines vary considerably depending on deal complexity, regulatory requirements, and commercial considerations. A straightforward share purchase might complete within two to three months from initial engagement, while transactions involving regulatory approvals from the SEC or BOI, or more complex due diligence requirements, may extend to four to six months. We work to align our processes with your preferred timeline and transaction milestones.

The service fees listed represent baseline engagements for typical scope within each advisory area. For transactions or compliance projects requiring additional work, we provide a detailed scope and fee estimate after an initial consultation. We aim for fee transparency and typically work on fixed-fee or capped-fee arrangements where scope can be reasonably defined. Hourly billing may be appropriate for ongoing advisory relationships or where scope is expected to evolve.

We maintain strict confidentiality protocols across all engagements, consistent with professional obligations under Thai law and international best practices. Client information is stored securely, access is limited to counsel directly involved in the matter, and we execute non-disclosure agreements where appropriate. Data handling aligns with PDPA requirements, and we apply confidentiality protections throughout the engagement and beyond its conclusion.
