As a law firm in Thailand, Benoit & Partners stands out for its ability to bridge the gap between Thai legal requirements and the expectations of international clients. Our bilingual and bicultural team is composed of French lawyers, Thai attorneys, tax advisors, certified accountants, and French-speaking legal assistants. The team ensures clear communication and a deep understanding of cross-border legal issue by combining knowledge of Thai regulations with international legal practice.

All services provided by Benoit & Partners are governed by a formal and binding engagement letter, prepared in accordance with international best practices in legal consulting. This document is mandatory before any legal service begins and clearly outlines the scope of the mission, the expected results, and the specific legal issues to be addressed. It defines the range of services covered, the actions the firm undertakes on the client’s behalf, and the exact limits of our intervention—ensuring full clarity from the outset.

The engagement letter also sets out the timeline for delivery, required client documents, procedural deadlines, and key administrative steps. Most importantly, it confirms the total fee for the assignment, based on a fixed-rate model that is approved in advance by the client. No work is initiated without the client’s prior validation of the agreed fees. This flat-fee model guarantees full cost transparency and protects clients from unexpected charges as the case progresses.

In contrast to many international firms, we do not charge by the hour. All services are defined upfront through a written, contractually binding proposal. Our fixed-fee approach enhances transparency and ensures greater speed and efficiency throughout the legal process.

Our engagement process is designed to be smooth, efficient, and secure. Following an initial free consultation, we analyze the client’s needs and issue a written engagement letter defining the mission and applicable legal terms. Once both parties have signed the agreement, we begin executing the mandate, whether through corporate filings, contract drafting, representation, or regulatory procedures. Throughout the engagement, we maintain direct communication with the client and provide clear updates at each step. With deep experience advising foreign individuals and companies, our law firm in Thailand remains focused on delivering accurate, compliant, and solution-oriented legal services in a timely and transparent manner.

Our law firm in Thailand commitment extends beyond isolated transactions. We assist clients in maintaining full legal compliance as their business evolves, including ongoing governance requirements, labor documentation updates, tax submissions, and immigration renewals. We proactively monitor regulatory developments in Thailand and advise our clients on adjustments needed to maintain lawful and efficient operations. Our role is to ensure long-term legal security and support strategic decision-making for foreign and domestic investors operating in Thailand.
