What Clients Have Shared
Richard Hargreaves
British national, Bangkok
February 2025 · Real Estate
I came to Garuda Firm with what I thought was a straightforward condo purchase. The title deed review picked up an issue I had no idea about — a historic encumbrance that would have caused serious problems further down the line. The team handled it without drama and the transfer completed on time. I would not have managed this without proper legal support.
Noppawan Saengthong
Managing Director, Bangkok
January 2025 · Corporate Governance
We had been running our company for three years without proper governance documentation in place — board minutes, shareholder resolutions, and several DBD filings were overdue. Garuda Firm completed a compliance review and cleared the backlog without fuss. We are now on a quarterly retainer and I have a clear picture of what is required each period.
Marcus Weir
Australian entrepreneur, Pattaya
January 2025 · Dispute Resolution
A business partner and I had a significant disagreement over profit sharing that we could not resolve between ourselves. Garuda Firm assessed the situation clearly and recommended mediation rather than arbitration, which turned out to be the right call. We reached an agreement within six weeks that both parties could accept. The process was far less disruptive than I had expected.
Parinya Kasemwong
Property investor, Chiang Mai
December 2024 · Real Estate
The lease agreement I needed drafted was for a commercial property with a foreign tenant, and there were a few unusual conditions the tenant had requested. The team drafted the agreement in both English and Thai and explained each clause to me in terms I could act on. The negotiation was handled professionally and we signed without any last-minute complications.
Yuki Tanaka
Japanese business owner, Bangkok
December 2024 · Corporate Governance
Managing a foreign business license in Thailand involves a lot of documentation that I was not on top of. Garuda Firm handled the renewal and provided a written summary of what will be required in the coming year. The language barrier had made this stressful previously — the bilingual service made a real difference.
Somchai Choosak
Contractor, Bangkok
November 2024 · Dispute Resolution
A client refused to pay for completed work, citing issues with the finish that I believed were being exaggerated. Garuda Firm drafted a demand letter that set out the legal position clearly and within two weeks the matter was resolved through direct negotiation. I appreciated that the advice was practical rather than overly cautious.
In Practice
Selected Case Studies
Foreign Buyer — Condominium Transfer with Title Complication
Real Estate & Property · Bangkok · Q4 2024 · 7 weeks
Challenge
A foreign national discovered a pre-existing mortgage registration on a condominium unit during the purchase process — a detail not disclosed by the seller at the outset.
Solution
Garuda Firm coordinated with the seller's legal representative and the relevant financial institution to obtain discharge confirmation and update the land office records prior to transfer.
Result
Transfer completed with a clean title. The purchase price was renegotiated slightly to reflect the delay and additional due diligence required. Client retained full confidence in the transaction.
Commercial Dispute — Supply Agreement Breach
Dispute Resolution · Bangkok · Q3–Q4 2024 · 9 weeks
Challenge
A Bangkok-based manufacturer faced a supplier who had failed to deliver a contracted shipment, causing production delays with downstream financial consequences.
Solution
Following a pre-litigation assessment, Garuda Firm prepared a formal demand letter quantifying the losses and setting out the legal basis for compensation, proposing structured mediation as an alternative to arbitration.
Result
The parties reached a mediated settlement within nine weeks. The client recovered partial compensation and secured a revised delivery schedule — without formal arbitration proceedings.
Corporate Compliance Overhaul — SME in Manufacturing
Corporate Governance · Bangkok · Q2 2024 · Ongoing retainer
Challenge
A small manufacturing company with a foreign majority shareholder had accumulated several years of incomplete governance records and outstanding DBD filings, creating potential compliance exposure.
Solution
Garuda Firm conducted a full compliance audit, prepared retrospective board documentation, and submitted outstanding statutory filings. A forward compliance calendar was established for all future obligations.
Result
All outstanding obligations cleared within two months. The company entered a quarterly retainer arrangement, and the directors now have a clear schedule of governance requirements for the year ahead.
