TRANSACTIONAL ASSISTANCE

We deliver transactional services which are supported by a drive to complete a deal securely, within realistic commercial and legal parameters, and with a detailed level of reporting and advice to our clients throughout. Timely co-ordination of advice with commercial timeframes requires planning with clients in respect to their particular transaction, taking into account third party influences and setting out tasks and goals.

LITIGATION & DISPUTE RESOLUTION EXPERIENCE

Our market knowledge, together with qualified local lawyers is a combination which is ideally suited to providing high end litigation and dispute resolution strategy, advice and procedure. Our clients’ best interests remain paramount, and our commitment to practical negotiation demonstrates our proficiency in negotiating and reducing overall costs and expenses for our clients. Whether we offer success-based or hybrid fee structures, we are committed to obtaining the best result for our clients from the outset of the engagement.

GOVERNMENT LIAISON – BOARD OF INVESTMENT / MINISTRIES OF PLANNING & INVESTMENT ASSISTANCE

The ‘names’ given to the government offices in the jurisdictions we operate in, can vary, but the principles of obtaining maximum privileges and benefits through Foreign Direct Investment apply.  We have advised hotel, leisure and retail specialists on applying for and obtaining the privileges available through the procedures of licensing and such procedures can involve concessions which, in an emerging market, may result in strengthened privileges in return for greater investment of capital and employment of local resources.

FINANCING PROJECT INVESTMENT – PUBLIC & PRIVATE RAISING OF CAPITAL

Our firm is able to work closely with our clients from the inception of the idea of a real estate project through to implementation. This can extend to include arrangements and legal aspects of obtaining and raising capital to finance the project. We can lend our experience and expertise in dealing with local Thai banks; institutional investors; and private equity groups or individual investors. Each type of finance arrangements requires a different set of criteria and approach in terms of documentation; due diligence; feasibility; and method of release of capital. Certain institutions demand a minimum standard in terms of the contractual; corporate structure; capitalisation; legal and financial data of an applicant. Combined with strong relationships, we are able to add value to what would ordinarily be a ‘cold’ application.
