We provide property law services as specified in your engagement letter, including title due diligence, purchase agreement preparation, condominium foreign quota verification, and related property transaction matters. Services are subject to Thai law and Land Department procedures.

Our services do not constitute tax advice, architectural consultation, property valuation, or structural inspection. We will refer you to appropriate professionals for such matters.

Service fees are specified in your engagement letter and based on the scope of work required. Payment terms include an initial retainer before commencing work and final payment upon completion of services.

Additional work beyond the original scope may result in additional fees, which will be discussed and agreed upon before proceeding.
