Law Office in Thailand — Every Legal Matter Handled Under One Roof
Our legal team works side by side with an in-house Notary Public, accountants and certified translators, so matters that cross borders or involve paperwork in several languages are handled end to end. We have a Bangkok branch (Lat Phrao 95), our head office in Khon Kaen, and partner lawyers in every other Thai province.
Quick answer
If you have a dispute, have been sued, want to file a claim, or need a retained company lawyer, gather the related documents (contracts, notices, court summons, payment records) and send them for review first. We explain your options, risks and next steps in plain English and confirm the fee before any work begins.

Choose the service that fits your matter
Documents to prepare before your consultation
- Your passport or Thai ID card
- Contracts, receipts, transfer slips, chats or emails related to the matter
- Any court summons, demand letter or official notice — and the date you received it
- Company affidavit and authorized-signatory details if you act for a company
- A short timeline of events; it lets the lawyer assess your case much faster
Common mistakes to avoid
- Statutes of limitation and the deadline to file a defense are short — consult as soon as a summons arrives
- Do not sign a debt acknowledgment or settlement memo before a lawyer reviews it
- Keep original evidence safe and share copies instead
- Foreign documents usually need notarization and a certified Thai translation before a Thai court accepts them

Frequently asked questions
I received a Thai civil court summons. What should I do?
Act immediately. A defendant generally has 15 days from service to file an answer; if not, the court may proceed without you. Send photos of the summons and complaint via LINE @Thainotary and a lawyer will check the deadline and your options.
How long is the limitation period for debt or breach of contract?
The general limitation period under the Thai Civil and Commercial Code is 10 years, but many claims are shorter — for example, some claims by businesses for goods or services are 2 years. Have a lawyer check your documents early so your rights do not expire.
What is the difference between an uncontested and a contested divorce in Thailand?
If both spouses agree, they can register a divorce by mutual consent at a district office, with a written agreement on children and property. If not, one spouse must file in court on grounds listed in Section 1516. We can draft the agreement or prepare the court case.
Can I write my own will in Thailand?
Yes. A holograph will must be entirely handwritten by you, dated and signed. Missing elements can make it void. Our lawyers can review or draft a will in a suitable form to reduce future disputes, including for foreigners with assets in Thailand.
What are my rights if I am dismissed without cause?
Employees are entitled to severance based on length of service under the Labour Protection Act, may be owed pay in lieu of notice, and may claim damages for unfair dismissal. We calculate your entitlements and negotiate or file at the Labour Court.
Can I hire a Thai lawyer while living abroad?
Yes. Consult by LINE, email or video call, then sign a power of attorney certified by a notary public or embassy where you live. Our lawyers act for you in Thailand, and our notary team helps prepare the documents in one place.
Is my consultation confidential?
Yes. Thai lawyers have a duty of confidentiality under the Lawyers Council's rules of conduct. We use your information only to handle the matter you instruct us on.
What should I prepare before my first consultation?
A short timeline of events, a copy of your ID or passport, and any contracts, receipts, messages or court papers. The more complete the documents, the more accurately we can assess your case and quote. Fees: ask our team for a quote.
Can a foreigner hire a Thai lawyer?
Yes. We work in English and can also notarize foreign documents through our Notary Public and translate them for use in Thai courts.
Do I need to be in Thailand to start?
Not usually. Most matters can be assessed online first; a power of attorney signed abroad can let us act for you, subject to notarization and legalization where required.
How are lawyer fees calculated?
Fees depend on the type of case, the amount in dispute and the scope of work. Please ask our team via LINE @Thainotary or call 094-8958999 for an assessment.
What is the difference between a law office and a law firm in Thailand?
In practice the terms overlap. Advisory work and contract drafting can be done by legal staff, but appearing in court requires a licensed Thai lawyer — we cover both.
Do you handle cases outside Bangkok?
Yes. Our head office is in Khon Kaen, we have a Bangkok branch, and partner lawyers cover every other province.
Should my company keep a lawyer on retainer?
If you sign contracts often, employ staff or process personal data, a retainer helps you prevent disputes and keep HR and PDPA practices compliant.
