Practice Areas
As a law firm Thailand businesses, investors, and individuals turn to for practical legal guidance, we serve clients whether they are a multinational corporation entering the Thai market, a property investor, or an individual navigating a legal matter. Our team provides clear guidance grounded in decades of combined experience. Each of our five core practice areas is led by attorneys with deep subject-matter expertise, allowing us to handle complex, cross-border matters with the same rigor as purely domestic ones.
Duensing Kippen is a law firm Thailand businesses and individuals trust across five core practice areas. As a full-service law firm with offices in Bangkok and Phuket, our attorneys and accredited arbitrators advise Thai and international clients — combining deep knowledge of Thai law with international legal standards.
Law Firm Thailand — Built for Cross-Border Clients
As a licensed law firm Thailand regulatory standards require, our attorneys are qualified under the Lawyers Council of Thailand, the professional body responsible for regulating the legal profession and upholding standards of practice nationwide.
No matter the complexity of your matter, our team is ready to help you navigate it with confidence and clarity.
Arbitration & ADR
Thailand is an increasingly important seat for international arbitration. Our attorneys include accredited Fellows of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (FCIArb) who act as both counsel and appointed arbitrators in domestic and international proceedings.
We regularly appear before the Thai Arbitration Institute (TAI), Thailand Arbitration Center (THAC), and international bodies such as SIAC and ICC.
Beyond acting as counsel, our accredited arbitrators also accept appointments as sole arbitrators or panel members — giving us a distinctive vantage point on how arbitral tribunals evaluate evidence and reach decisions. This dual experience, as both advocate and adjudicator, allows us to advise clients more precisely on case strategy from the outset.

We also assist clients at the contract-drafting stage, ensuring arbitration clauses are clear, enforceable, and appropriate to the nature of the underlying commercial relationship — reducing the risk of costly jurisdictional disputes later. Where appropriate, we advise on mediation and conciliation as faster, lower-cost alternatives to formal arbitration.
Dispute Resolution & Commercial Litigation
When disputes arise, our litigation team represents clients before the Thai Civil, Criminal, and specialised courts. We handle commercial disputes, contractual claims, injunctions, debt recovery, and enforcement actions across Thailand.
We advise on the full spectrum of dispute resolution options — from negotiation and mediation through to full court proceedings — helping clients choose the most effective and cost-efficient path to resolution.
Our team handles cases at all court levels, from the Court of First Instance through to the Supreme Court.
Corporate & Commercial
We advise businesses at every stage — from company formation and joint ventures through to mergers, acquisitions, and commercial contracts.
Our corporate team works with both foreign-invested and Thai-owned businesses operating across sectors in Thailand.
We assist clients with BOI applications, shareholder agreements, and regulatory compliance across a wide range of industries.
Real Estate & Property
We advise Thai and international clients on the full range of property transactions in Thailand — from due diligence and title searches through to sale and purchase agreements and leasehold structures.
With particular expertise in Bangkok and Phuket, we represent buyers, sellers, and developers in both residential and commercial property matters.
Our due diligence process covers title verification, zoning compliance, and encumbrance checks to protect your investment.
Tax
Thai tax law is complex and frequently updated. We advise on corporate income tax, personal income tax, VAT, specific business tax, and withholding tax across a wide range of transactions.
We provide tax structuring advice for property transactions, business investments, and commercial arrangements — helping clients achieve compliance and efficiency under Thai law.
We help clients structure transactions efficiently while maintaining full compliance with Thailand’s Revenue Department requirements.
