Legal, accounting and tax together
Corporate legal decisions can affect accounting records, tax filings and company administration. We coordinate these areas and agree on responsibilities before work begins.
Company formation and corporate structure
We consider ownership, business activities, governance, accounting, tax and registration requirements together when reviewing a company structure.
For the registration steps, see company registration services in Thailand.
Shareholder, director and corporate changes
Changes to shareholders, directors, registered details or governance may require resolutions and updated company records. We prepare the relevant documents and handle registration where required.
See corporate administration for the registration and documentation side.
Corporate records matter
Before a change goes ahead, we confirm the required approvals, documents, registrations and effective dates for the company's circumstances.
Commercial agreements and corporate documents
The legal team reviews and drafts shareholder agreements, commercial agreements, corporate resolutions, governance documents and other business records.
Foreign investment and business structure
We review the proposed ownership, business activities and applicable rules together. Foreign Business Act and Foreign Business Licence questions, and BOI matters where relevant, depend on the facts, so we review your case before giving a conclusion.
For the accounting and tax side, see accounting and reporting.
