Six reasons clients choose us
Pension-only focus
We do not spread across dozens of practice areas. Pension entitlements, recalculations, and appeals are what we do — so we do them well.
Qualified legal representation
Every matter is handled by a lawyer, not a non-legal adviser or document preparer. You receive legal analysis, not simply form assistance.
Fixed, stated fees
Prices are set and disclosed in writing before any work begins. No billing by the hour for calls you did not expect, no additional fees mid-matter.
Plain-language explanations
Pension law is written in dense statutory language. We translate everything clearly so you understand your position before deciding anything.
Honest case assessments
We will tell you if we do not think a matter is likely to produce a useful result. We do not take on cases simply to collect a fee.
Consistent, patient contact
A named person manages your matter from start to finish. You do not re-explain your situation to a different team member every time you call.
Legal expertise in a narrow, demanding field
Pension law in Thailand draws on the Social Security Act, the Government Pension Fund Act, and provident fund regulations — each framework with its own procedural requirements. Our lawyers have spent years learning these systems in practice, not in theory.
That depth means we can identify issues that a general practitioner might overlook and frame requests in language that the relevant government offices are accustomed to receiving.
What this means for you
- No need to explain how the system works — we already know
- Fewer unnecessary steps or document requests
- Informed advice about whether an error is likely correctable
- Correspondence drafted in the format government offices expect
Our process
- 01Initial consultation — we listen, ask questions, and get a clear picture
- 02Document review — we go through whatever you have and identify gaps
- 03Written summary — you receive a clear explanation of findings
- 04Action (if applicable) — recalculation request or appeal preparation
- 05Ongoing updates — clear communication at every stage until resolution
A process that keeps you informed
One of the most common frustrations people describe when dealing with legal matters is not knowing what is happening. We address that by building regular updates into every engagement.
Each matter moves through a defined sequence of stages, and you receive communication at each one. If a step is delayed because of a government office, we tell you that too — and what we are doing about it.
Client service that respects your time
We are a small practice, which means when you contact us, you reach someone who knows your matter. There is no queue of account handlers or automated phone systems to navigate.
Appointments are arranged around your availability. We also offer communication by email if that is more convenient, with replies typically within one working day.
Client care standards
- Named contact person for your matter from start to finish
- Replies to messages within one working day
- Appointments at times that work for you
- Communication by phone or email, as preferred

Pricing that is clear from the start
Legal fees are a source of anxiety for many people. We address that by setting fixed prices per service and disclosing them before you commit to anything. There is no hourly billing and no surprise invoices.
The fee for each service covers the full scope described — consultation, document work, correspondence, and updates — with no additions unless the scope changes significantly and you agree to it first.

What Sets Us Apart
Things we do that others typically do not
Written findings for every review
Rather than verbal-only summaries, every pension rights review includes a written document you can keep, share with family, or refer back to.
Explanations repeated as many times as needed
If something is unclear, we go through it again. There is no expectation that clients will absorb everything in a single meeting under time pressure.
We tell you if it is not worth pursuing
Before any fee is charged for representation, we assess whether the matter has reasonable merit. If it does not, we say so and do not proceed.
Bilingual capability where needed
Our team can handle matters that require both Thai and English communication — useful for expatriates or those with documents in both languages.
