About
Provided by IAS Advisory
We take clear steps to settle business-related and family disputes calmly and efficiently and aim to avoid escalations. Litigation is unavoidable in some cases, however, and we represent clients in the civil and criminal courts and the administrative and special courts (e.g. Central Bankruptcy Court, Labour Court, Juvenile & Family Court, Tax Court), as well as in different arbitration venues across Thailand. Whether bringing or defending a claim, we prepare cases that maximise the chances of a favourable outcome.
Our overarching aim is always to minimise disruption to each client’s life and business as much as possible while at the same time keeping costs low. We are clear that in some cases the actual benefits of a successful outcome may be outweighed by the likely litigation costs involved and advise our clients accordingly. We always keep in mind their business objectives and commercial strategy as well as their budget.
Our specialisms include commercial litigation, labour and employment, and bankruptcy and insolvency matters, as well as alternative dispute resolution (ADR). We assist clients with preparing affidavits, complaints, defences, discovery and interrogatories, and provide support at every level from small claims to international arbitration cases spanning different jurisdictions. Our approach is to cultivate legal relationships that are based on trust, which is the reason so many of our clients return to us for advice in other areas of their life and business.
