Legal Advisory Council Limited

Established in 1994, Legal Advisory Council Limited Company ("LACL") is a Bangkok-based law firm currently consisting of six partners and several associates. Our legal services are provided to a vast range of clients, from individuals to large publicly held companies and Thai government agencies. Our client list garnered from years of operation includes Thai as well as foreign persons and firms. Both Thai and English languages are habitually used in LACL's legal services.

LACL corresponds on a regular basis with several overseas and international law firms and frequently provides co-counsel services for such firms. Additionally, LACL is a sole representative member firm for Thailand of the international legal network of GLOBALAW, which covers over 80 jurisdictions worldwide.

LACL is committed to delivering our clients effective and efficient legal services of the highest quality. We focus on each client's business objectives and policies to provide creative yet practical advice. In consultation with the clients, we staff members strive to assure the success of our execution within the agreed budget and other parameters. In all cases, at least one partner is assigned to be in charge and to have overall responsibility for a client's matters; however, for most matters, additional lawyers are assigned to supplement required legal assistance and to ensure full coverage and representation.

One of the major policies of the firm is integrity to legal profession and clients. We conduct searches and conflict inspections at all times prior to taking on an assignment. Once conflict of interest arises, advice will be given to clients directly and promptly. The Chinese wall ethic is not one we favour.

The official language in Thailand is Thai thus, Bachelor's Degrees in law here are taught in Thai so foreign languages may appear alien to most Thai law students. LACL, however, recognizes a connected world, where speedy communication, English speaking and writing abilities are keys to best service clients. As an emphasis has been made on responding to such, the majority of Our attorneys and staff are capable of English speaking and writing communication.

We also keep up with developments in technology to support legal services. LACL is equipped with local area network computer system facilitating team-working atmosphere, with up-to-date computer equipment, accessories and licensed software, e-mail system (personal and general), website, auto-answering telephone system and voice message support, the latter which guarantees smooth communication and messaging experience.
