• Both parties have agreed in writing to the scope of services and fee arrangement

4. Scope of Services

The Firm provides legal advisory and representation services in the following areas:

Each engagement is limited to the specific scope defined in the engagement letter. Services outside the agreed scope require a separate agreement and may be subject to additional fees.

Our services are provided in accordance with professional standards established by the Lawyers Council of Thailand and applicable legal ethics rules.

Payment terms will be specified in the engagement letter. Unless otherwise agreed, invoices are payable within thirty days of issuance. Late payments may be subject to interest charges as permitted by law. The Firm reserves the right to suspend services or withdraw from representation if invoices remain unpaid beyond agreed terms.

Government filing fees, court costs, translation services, and other third-party expenses are billed separately at actual cost. Clients are responsible for reimbursement of approved disbursements.

All fees are quoted and payable in Thai Baht unless otherwise specified.
