Commercial Litigation

The members of the disputes team have extensive experience in advising clients on a range of commercial disputes in Thailand (both Thai court litigation and arbitration). Our experience includes:

Banking and Finance disputes (including business rehabilitation)
Construction disputes
Shareholder/Joint venture disputes
Employment matters
Contractual claims (for example, leases, hotel management contracts, lift and escalator contracts, ship repair contracts)
“Wrongful act” claims (similar to tort or negligence claims)

The depth of our Thai law knowledge and experience of the Thai court and arbitration systems mean that lawyers with on-the-ground Thai expertise will guide you through the dispute resolution process in Thailand. This is coupled with a rare ability to communicate advice to you in such a way as to ensure that you are comfortable in a legal landscape that may be different or with which you may be unfamiliar. These are truly unique added-value elements that are designed to ensure that your interests are protected, and also that you are fully apprised of the intricacies of the Thai legal system.
