What is a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)?
Preliminary agreement before main contract. In day-to-day use this instrument shows up in JV、Strategic partnership. Every draft passes our 80-point internal checklist covering Thai law, tax stamp duty, and PDPA compliance.
Drafting Process
Workflow: (a) 8-question intake form → (b) 15–30 min discovery call on phone or Zoom → (c) draft v1 with clause-by-clause comments in 2–3 business days → (d) unlimited revision rounds → (e) finalize and ship .docx + .pdf.
Clauses we always include
• Governing Law & Jurisdiction (Thai court or SIAC/ICC arbitration) • Force Majeure covering pandemic, war, cyber-attack • Balanced Limitation of Liability • Tiered Dispute Resolution (Negotiation → Mediation → Arbitration) • Confidentiality surviving termination • Severability to preserve the contract if a clause is void.
Pricing & Timeline
Packages from quoted on request cover drafting plus revisions within scope; work that requires opening a data room or referencing foreign statute is billed time-and-materials at quoted on request. Standard turnaround 2–3 business days, rush 24-hour +50%.
Why not use a free template?
Free internet templates are typically drafted under foreign law, miss Thai-style Force Majeure, omit Stamp Duty compliance, and rarely survive bank/investor due diligence. Using the wrong template can void the entire contract.
