Our Methodology

How Engagements Are Structured

Each engagement begins with a brief description of the situation from the client — the contract in question, the claim or dispute context, or the tender documents to be reviewed. From that description, the applicable service can be confirmed and the engagement letter prepared.

Work proceeds methodically. For contract drafting, the starting point is always the existing document — the FIDIC edition or framework contract the project intends to use. For claim counsel, the starting point is the contract and the available project records. For pre-tender review, the starting point is the tender contract as issued by the employer.

The output in each case is written — adapted text, an assessment memorandum, or a flagging memorandum. The client receives a document they can use, share with the wider project team, and refer back to over time.

1. Enquiry

Brief description of the matter — contract type, project context, specific question

2. Engagement

Engagement letter confirming scope, fee, and expected delivery timescale

3. Review

Methodical review of the contract documents and any supporting materials provided

4. Delivery

Written deliverable — contract text, assessment, or memorandum — delivered by agreed date

Thai Bar Registration

All legal services are provided by practitioners registered with the Lawyers Council of Thailand and operating within its professional conduct rules.
