Professional Legal Counsel for Thai Business

The arbitration process in Thailand follows the Thai Arbitration Act and typically involves agreement review, appointment of arbitrators, submission of written statements, hearing proceedings, and issuance of an arbitral award. We guide clients through each stage, from agreement drafting to enforcement of awards.

Our franchise agreement service includes complete document drafting or review, territory and obligations definition, intellectual property licensing clauses, termination provisions, and two full revision cycles. We also provide a market entry legal overview specific to operating franchise systems within Thailand.

The timeline for foundation or association registration varies depending on the provincial authority and completeness of documentation. Typically, the process takes between six to twelve weeks from initial document preparation to registration approval. We work to ensure all materials are properly prepared to facilitate a smooth registration process.

The information needed depends on the service. For arbitration, we require details of the dispute and any existing agreements. For franchise agreements, we need business structure information and intended franchise model. For foundation registration, we need organizational objectives, board member details, and planned activities. We conduct an initial consultation to determine specific requirements.

All consultations and client information are treated with strict confidentiality in accordance with professional legal ethics and Thai attorney-client privilege. We maintain secure document handling procedures and do not disclose client matters without explicit consent.

While our office is located in Bangkok, we handle matters throughout Thailand, including provincial arbitration proceedings, nationwide franchise agreements, and foundation registrations with provincial authorities across the country. We coordinate with local authorities as needed for regional matters.
