The precise scope, deliverables, and fees for each matter are confirmed through an Engagement Letter prior to commencement. Service availability is subject to our current capacity and professional obligations.

Information on this Website is provided for general guidance only and does not constitute legal advice specific to your situation.

5. Engagement and Fees

Commencement

An engagement begins when both parties have confirmed in writing the scope of work, applicable fees, and any specific conditions of the matter.

Fee Structure

Published prices on this Website reflect our standard service tiers as of the effective date of these Terms. Actual fees for a specific matter are confirmed in the Engagement Letter and are quoted in Thai Baht (฿) unless otherwise agreed.

Disbursements

Any out-of-pocket expenses incurred on your behalf (such as filing fees or official documentation costs) are charged separately and will be set out in advance wherever possible.

Payment

Payment terms are set out in the Engagement Letter. We reserve the right to pause work on a matter where agreed payment has not been received.

Changes to Scope

If the scope of a matter changes materially after engagement, we will discuss revised terms with you before proceeding with additional work.

6. Confidentiality

We treat all information shared with us in the course of an enquiry or engagement as confidential. We do not disclose client information to third parties except where necessary to carry out your instructions, required by law, or with your consent.

Our confidentiality obligations are separate from, and in addition to, the protections set out in our Privacy Policy.

7. Intellectual Property

All content on this Website, including text, structure, design, and imagery, is the property of Tham Counsel or licensed to us, and is protected under applicable Thai intellectual property law.

You may view and print content from this Website for your own personal reference. You may not reproduce, redistribute, or commercially exploit any content without our prior written consent.

Advice and documents produced by us in the course of an engagement are provided to you for use in connection with your specific matter and may not be re-used for other purposes without our agreement.

8. Disclaimers

The information on this Website is intended for general informational purposes and does not constitute legal advice tailored to your particular circumstances. We encourage you to contact us directly before making any decisions that may affect your pension rights.

While we take care to keep information current, we make no representations as to the completeness, accuracy, or currency of information on this Website at any given time. We are not liable for any reliance placed on Website content outside of a formal engagement.

The outcome of any legal or pension matter depends on a range of factors that are beyond our control. We cannot and do not make any representations as to specific results.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by Thai law, our total liability to you in connection with any matter (whether in contract, tort, or otherwise) shall not exceed the fees actually paid by you to us in relation to that specific matter.

We are not liable for any indirect, consequential, or incidental loss arising from your use of this Website or from information provided in the course of an engagement, except where such exclusion is not permitted by law.

We are not liable for matters outside our reasonable control, including acts of government or regulatory authorities, natural events, or the actions of third parties.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify Tham Counsel against any reasonable claims, losses, or expenses arising from your breach of these Terms, from false or misleading information you have provided to us, or from your use of this Website in a manner not permitted by these Terms.

11. Termination

Either party may conclude an engagement with reasonable written notice, subject to the terms of the Engagement Letter and our professional obligations. We reserve the right to cease providing Services where professional rules or legal obligations require us to do so.

On termination of an engagement, our fees for work properly completed are due and payable. Clauses relating to confidentiality, intellectual property, limitation of liability, and dispute resolution survive termination.

12. Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Kingdom of Thailand. Any dispute arising from these Terms or our Services will be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of Bangkok, Thailand.

Before commencing formal proceedings, we ask that you contact us to describe your concern. Most matters can be resolved through direct, good-faith discussion, and we are always willing to engage constructively.
