Big and medium German companies, health insurance agents and official authorities are among our clients with relation to Thailand, as well as Swiss, Austrian and Scandinavian players. Our support includes not only legal counselling, but also defence of legal proceedings in court, under civil law and under criminal law.

Ideally we counsel our clients before they even start their business activities in Thailand. Investors will regularly be confronted with following issues:

// Application for visa, where we have to distinguish between different types of residence permits.
     
// Application for work permits.
     
// Company set-up wherein the alternatives – for instance set-up of a representative office or a limited company have to be considered just as well as the specific requirements under company law related to the legal form of the company.
     
// Disputes with Thai authorities, in particular related to company set-up.
     
// Accounting, tax counselling, avoidance of double taxation, calculation and payment of VAT and withholding tax.
     
// Customs and import regulations.
     
// Commercial legal protection, protection of intellectual property by registration of patents and brands as well as legal defence against infringements against brand, patent or copyrights.
     
// Research for real estate, rentals or purchases of real estate Subsidies by the Board of Investment (Boi Promotion) and Thai labour law.

Beyond the mentioned areas, we also counsel selected private clients, mainly in Bangkok and Phuket, on Criminal law, Tax law, Hereditary law and Family law.

Related to family law, our legal support covers drafting and translations of marital contracts, representation of interests in case of child withdrawal, decisions on custody and alimony, divorces of marriages in and out of court, and acknowledgement of divorces in Germany.
