Process

Our civil litigation process

The 4-step process for civil cases in Thailand.

Initial legal consultation

We analyze your dispute to determine the strength of your case and the potential remedies available under Thai law.

Mediation & negotiation

Before a full trial, Thai courts strongly encourage mediation. We represent you during these negotiations to reach a settlement quickly and cost-effectively.

Filing the complaint (Plaint)

If a settlement is not possible, we draft and file a formal complaint with the appropriate court, ensuring all documentation is translated and authenticated.

Trial & judgment

Our litigators provide robust representation in court, presenting evidence and examining witnesses to secure a favorable verdict and subsequent enforcement.
