Client Testimonials
"We needed to establish a Thai subsidiary and didn't know where to start with the Foreign Business Act. Juristel mapped out the options clearly — no sales pressure, just a straightforward assessment of what made sense for our structure. The BOI application process was handled efficiently."
"After six years of running the company without a formal legal review, the report from Juristel was genuinely useful — it identified three areas where our contracts were out of alignment with current regulations. The recommendations were prioritised and practical, not a list of everything that could theoretically be improved."
"We had a difficult termination matter that needed careful handling. Juristel walked us through the correct procedure under Thai labour law — including the severance calculation — and we resolved it without a dispute. The advice was direct and saved us considerable difficulty downstream."
"Our supplier contracts had evolved informally over years and were well overdue for review. The Legal Health Review flagged the gaps without overstating the risk — which I appreciated. The report gave us a clear list of what to fix first, and we've now worked through most of it."
"We had questions about our joint venture structure that required understanding both Thai law and how it interacted with EU arrangements. The coordination with affiliated counsel was smooth and the advice was presented in a single, coherent document. That kind of integrated handling made a significant difference."
"We needed employment contracts updated for a new category of workers and wanted the workplace policy reviewed at the same time. Juristel completed both tasks within a reasonable timeframe and was responsive when we had follow-up questions. Straightforward to work with."
Client Success Stories
Retail Chain Brings Documentation in Line with Current Thai Regulations
A Bangkok-based retail operation with twelve employees had grown quickly and had not revisited its legal documentation in four years. The management team suspected some contracts were outdated but did not know how to assess the extent of the issue.
Juristel conducted a Legal Health Review covering corporate filings, supplier and client contracts, and employment documentation. The review was completed over three weeks and delivered as a prioritised report with eleven specific action items.
Seven items were addressed in the month following delivery. The employment contracts were fully updated and two supplier agreements were renegotiated. Management reported a clearer picture of their legal standing than they had held in years.
"The report gave us a clear starting point. We knew what to fix and in what order. That kind of structure was exactly what we needed."

German Technology Firm Establishes Thai Operations Under BOI Framework
A German technology company sought to establish a regional headquarters in Bangkok to serve its Southeast Asian markets. The parent company's German counsel had no practical experience with Thai business law and the BOI application process.
Juristel handled the Thai-side legal requirements — foreign business licensing, BOI application, and the Thai company formation — while coordinating directly with the German counsel on cross-border structural matters. All Thai regulatory work was managed from a single point of contact.
The Thai entity was registered and operational within the expected timeframe. BOI promotion was secured, providing the company with relevant investment incentives. The client's German team reported that the cross-border coordination was notably smoother than they had anticipated.
"Having one team coordinate both sides was a significant relief. We didn't have to translate between two legal systems ourselves."

Hospitality Group Restructures Employment Framework Ahead of Headcount Expansion
A hospitality group planning to expand from 30 to 65 employees identified that its employment contracts had not kept pace with changes to the Labour Protection Act. Management wanted to update documentation before the expansion rather than retrofit it across a larger workforce.
Juristel reviewed all existing employment contracts and the company's workplace rules document, prepared updated versions aligned with current legislation, and provided a briefing to the management team on the key changes and their implications.
The updated contracts were implemented across the existing workforce before the hiring commenced. The company entered its expansion phase with documentation that reflected current requirements — and the management team had a clearer understanding of its obligations as an employer under Thai law.
