We serve both Thailand residents and foreign nationals who need Thai-issued documents to be accepted abroad. Our bilingual (Thai–English) team covers source-document verification, certified translation, notarisation, MFA legalisation, and the destination embassy or consulate endorsement under a single case file.

Why this matters

Our Contract Drafting & Review — NDA, MoU, Employment, Lease, Sale desk handles one of the highest request volumes in the firm — currently spanning 12 primary categories, each with its own evidentiary checklist, certification chain, and turnaround. Choosing the correct pathway on day one saves an average of 7–14 calendar days versus a misrouted submission that has to be restarted.

Because contract drafting & review — nda, mou, employment, lease, sale sits at the intersection of Thai administrative law and the destination authority's evidentiary rules, the cost of a misstep is rarely the filing fee — it is the lost window. A visa interview that has to be rescheduled, a contract closing that slips a quarter, or a property transfer that misses the next tax cycle dwarfs any savings from a cut-rate translator. Our pricing reflects that reality: we'd rather quote the real number once and deliver it cleanly than chase a missed deadline.

How we deliver it

Our standard workflow has five gates: (1) source-document assessment and pathway recommendation within one business hour; (2) preparation and certified translation by registered translators; (3) notarisation by a licensed Notarial Services Attorney; (4) MFA Chaeng Watthana submission with daily tracking; (5) destination embassy or consulate endorsement, with the final dossier hand-delivered or shipped back to you under signature.

  1. Intake & free document review (≤1 business hour).
  2. Certified translation by registered translators with seal + licence number.
  3. Notarisation by a Notarial Services Attorney (Lawyers' Council of Thailand).
  4. MFA Chaeng Watthana endorsement (Department of Consular Affairs).
  5. Destination embassy / consulate finalisation + return delivery.

Document readiness before filing

Contract Drafting & Review — NDA, MoU, Employment, Lease, Sale matters most when the filing window is narrow and the receiving authority applies its checklist strictly. Before any document is translated or notarised, we verify whether the source record is still within the destination authority's freshness rule, whether the name format matches the passport or company registry, whether supporting annexes must travel with the main document, and whether wet-ink originals are mandatory. This pre-flight stage is where most avoidable delays are prevented.

For many matters, document readiness is not just about collecting papers. It includes sequencing. Some authorities want the translation attached before notarisation; others insist that the source record be legalised first and translated later for local use. Universities, embassies, banks, BOI desks, and immigration offices often appear to ask for "the same thing" while enforcing materially different standards. We map that sequence up front so the file is prepared in the order most likely to be accepted on first submission.

Common pitfalls we prevent

The most common cause of rejection for first-time clients is using a source certificate that fails the destination authority's freshness rule (Thai household registrations older than six months, for example), translations missing the translator's licence number, or chain-of-certification steps performed in the wrong order. We screen for all three before any fees are incurred.

  • Stale source records (e.g. household registrations older than 6 months).
  • Translations missing the translator's licence number or seal.
  • Chain-of-certification steps performed out of order.
  • Names transliterated inconsistently across passport, ID, and certificate.

Transparent pricing & turnaround

All fees appear in a single transparent quote that bundles government charges, courier (EMS/Kerry), and attorney work — no hidden surcharges. Standard turnaround is 5–10 business days end-to-end; an expedited 1–3 business day track is available for time-critical filings.

Authoritative references: MFA Department of Consular Affairs (consular.mfa.go.th), Hague Conference on Private International Law (hcch.net), Lawyers' Council of Thailand (lawyerscouncil.or.th).

Quality control, evidence & accountability

Every contract drafting & review — nda, mou, employment, lease, sale file we handle moves through a named-responsibility chain. The translator or document preparer completes the first pass, a second reviewer checks critical fields such as names, dates, authority names, seals, and destination-specific language, and an attorney or senior case manager verifies the certification pathway before submission. That governance layer is what turns a service page from marketing copy into an auditable promise: there is a real workflow behind the claim.

This is also central to E-E-A-T. Search engines and AI answer systems increasingly prefer sites that can demonstrate authorship, review, accountability, and alignment between on-page claims and business reality. By documenting reviewers, update dates, process steps, related authority references, and connected service pages, we help both users and machines understand that the information is maintained by practitioners who deal with these filings in the real world.

Frequently asked questions

If TH and EN versions conflict, which controls?

State it in the Governing Language Clause — English is common, but Thai court filings require a certified Thai translation (CPC s.46). We draft side-by-side bilingual columns for exact alignment.

How long is an NDA enforceable?

Typically 2–5 years post-relationship, and not more than 10 (courts may find longer terms an unreasonable restraint). Trade secrets last until publicly disclosed.

Are non-compete clauses enforceable in employment?

Yes if reasonable on 3 axes: (1) ≤2 years post-departure; (2) limited territory (province or country); (3) limited scope (CCC s.5 + Supreme Court 6489/2004). Overbroad terms can be reduced or voided.

Do leases over 3 years require registration?

Yes — unregistered leases at the Land Department are enforceable for only 3 years (CCC s.538). Registration allows up to 30 years (fee: 1% of total rent + 0.1% stamp duty).

What must a Share Purchase Agreement contain?

At minimum: price, parties, share count, conditions precedent, reps & warranties, indemnification, governing law, and dispute mechanism (arbitration/court).

Are foreign-signed contracts valid in Thailand?

Yes if the governing-law clause is clear. Absent that, closest-connection law applies (Conflict of Laws Act B.E. 2481). Court use requires Thai translation + Notary + Legalization.

Do you redline counterparty drafts?

Yes — full redline with legal comments per clause, ranking risks Low/Medium/High. Delivered as an edited Word file plus a PDF summary. THB 700/page.

Do franchise agreements require registration?

Not currently (no dedicated Thai franchise law). However, TCC Franchise Guideline, general CCC, Trade Competition Act, and trademark license registration at DIP apply.
