Contract Lawyers in Thailand

Contract law in Thailand is based on several principles that are very similar to the ones that function in within Western law as well, stipulated in the Thai Civil & Commercial Code, abbreviated TCCC, which consists of six Books. Our contract lawyers in Thailand can assist you.

Conditions of contract signing in Thailand

Our contract lawyers in Thailand advise you regarding several important aspects involving contract signing between companies or persons, namely that it is advisable (although generally not mandatory) to have two competent witnesses sign. The contract does not need to be in Thai to be valid, but it should be drafted in Thai (or bilingually) for use before Thai courts and authorities, or translated in this language. 

Most contract attorneys in Thailand will counsel you not to let yourselves deceived by the so-called standard contracts, as it often happens, and always make sure to verify very carefully all the provisions of the contracts.  A lawyer’s opinion on all these aspects is vital, as he will have to verify that the clauses are, in fact, legal, non-abusive and can be enforced by the law in case it will be proven necessary. 

Contract reviewing services in Thailand

Our Thai contract lawyers stress the importance of contract review, which has become a vital issue due to several factors. Consequently, the following points must be taken into account: 

•    The verification of the contract in order to make sure that it does not lack any conditions that, for various reasons, have not been introduced among the other provisions.
•    The contract may not include important information about the payment of penalties that may be applied, in case some stipulations have not been made or some actions have been delayed passed the due date and then this aspect will become significant.   
•    Our Thai law firm assures you that numerous contracts signed during the recent years presented many errors as well as omissions that eventually caused many misunderstandings and problems.

Mostly sales contracts bring out a lot subsequent issues, especially in the cases involving the sale of an establishment that is currently being constructed. That being the case, the contract must necessarily include, apart from the blueprints and plans, the specific schedule and standards that regulate the construction of the establishment.
