As a trusted law firm based in Bangkok, we deliver strategic, end-to-end legal solutions across the full business life-cycle — from market entry and establishment to ongoing operations, expansion and corporate compliance. Our experienced corporate and FDI lawyers regularly advise multinational corporations, private investors, and regional enterprises on navigating foreign ownership restrictions and sector-specific regulatory requirements under Thai law. We provide comprehensive advice on investment structures, joint ventures, shareholder arrangements, and regulatory compliance, including the legal implications of the Foreign Business Act (FBA), as well as applications for foreign business licenses and foreign business certificates.
We also act as dedicated legal advisors to investors in selecting the most appropriate structure for establishing operations in Thailand, including advice on investment promotion incentives, tax exemptions and land ownership rights available under applicable Thai investment laws. Our team regularly represents clients in consultations with relevant government authorities, including the Ministry of Commerce (MOC), the Board of Investment (BOI) and the Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand (IEAT), throughout the approval and licensing process. With deep cross-sector experience and strong working relationships with Thai regulators, we deliver pragmatic and commercially focused advice that enables clients to establish and operate with confidence in Thailand’s evolving FDI legal landscape.
