Comprehensive Dispute Resolution Solutions
Tailored approaches for domestic arbitration, international proceedings, and collaborative mediation to serve your particular circumstances.
Return HomeOur Methodology
We provide structured representation across different dispute resolution frameworks, adapting our approach to the specific procedural requirements and strategic considerations each matter presents.
Our practice focuses on three core dispute resolution services: domestic arbitration representation under Thai law, international arbitration advisory covering cross-border commercial disputes, and mediation services for parties seeking collaborative settlement approaches. Each service addresses different procedural frameworks and strategic requirements.
Domestic arbitration work centers on Thai Arbitration Act B.E. 2545 provisions and Thai Arbitration Institute procedures. This includes commercial contract disputes, shareholder disagreements, construction claims, and other matters where parties have agreed to Thai-seated arbitration. We handle all procedural stages from arbitration agreement analysis through award enforcement.
International arbitration advisory serves clients involved in cross-border disputes under major institutional rules such as ICC, SIAC, HKIAC, LCIA, and UNCITRAL. These matters often involve multi-jurisdictional considerations including seat selection, applicable law determination, and enforcement planning across different legal systems. Our experience includes both Thai parties in foreign-seated arbitrations and international parties in Thai proceedings.
Mediation services provide structured facilitation for parties seeking settlement through collaborative rather than adversarial processes. This includes commercial disputes, contractual disagreements, and business relationship conflicts where preserving ongoing relationships holds importance alongside resolving immediate disputes. Mediation may proceed as standalone settlement process or alongside ongoing arbitration.
