Terms & Conditions

These Terms and Conditions govern the relationship between Damrong Law ("the Firm", "we", "us") and persons who visit our website or engage the Firm for legal services ("you", "the client"). By using this website or instructing the Firm, you accept these terms in full.

If any aspect of these Terms is unclear, we welcome your enquiry before you proceed.

1. About Damrong Law

Damrong Law is a legal practice established in Thailand with its principal office at 124 Sathorn Road, Yan Nawa, Sathorn, Bangkok 10120. The Firm specialises in estate and inheritance matters under Thai law and provides legal services to individuals, families, and estates.

2. Website Use

2.1 Access and Availability

This website is offered for informational purposes. We make reasonable efforts to keep it accessible and accurate but do not warrant that it will be available without interruption or that the information on it will be complete, current, or free of error. We reserve the right to modify or withdraw content at any time without notice.

2.2 No Legal Advice

The content published on this website is general in nature and does not constitute legal advice. Reading this website does not create a lawyer–client relationship. Estate and inheritance law is jurisdiction-specific and fact-sensitive; the Firm's published content cannot be relied upon as a substitute for tailored advice on your particular circumstances.

2.3 Permitted Use

You may access and read this website for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not copy, redistribute, or publish material from this website without the Firm's prior written consent, except as permitted by applicable copyright law for personal reference.

3. Engaging the Firm

3.1 How a Mandate Begins

A lawyer–client relationship is established only when the Firm issues a written engagement letter and you confirm your acceptance of it. Correspondence before that point — including enquiries submitted through the contact form — does not constitute an instruction to act.

3.2 Scope of Services

The scope of work, applicable fees, and timeline are set out in the engagement letter for each matter. Any change to agreed scope requires a written variation confirmed by both parties.

3.3 Client Responsibilities

You agree to:

• Provide accurate, complete, and timely information necessary for the conduct of your matter.
• Inform the Firm promptly of any change in circumstances that may affect the matter.
• Respond to requests for instructions within a reasonable period.
• Settle invoices by the due dates set out in the engagement letter.

The Firm will not be responsible for delays or adverse outcomes resulting from incomplete information or delayed instructions from the client.

4. Fees and Payment

4.1 Fee Structure

Fees for each service are set out in the engagement letter. Where fixed fees are quoted on this website, they represent the baseline fee for standard circumstances. Additional charges may apply where a matter requires work that falls outside the described scope — for example, where contested questions arise or additional government filings are required. Any variation will be agreed with you before work proceeds.

4.2 Disbursements

Fees quoted do not include disbursements — costs incurred on your behalf such as court filing fees, translation costs, Land Department fees, and official certification charges. These are passed on at cost and will be itemized in invoices.

4.3 Payment Terms

Invoices are due within the period stated in the engagement letter. Where an upfront retainer is required, work will commence following receipt of that payment. The Firm reserves the right to suspend work on a matter where invoices remain outstanding beyond the agreed period.

4.4 Refunds

Where work has been performed, fees for that work are not refundable. If a mandate is terminated before completion, the Firm will issue a final invoice for work completed to that point. Any unearned advance payment will be returned.

5. Confidentiality

The Firm and all staff are bound by professional obligations of confidentiality. Information you share in connection with your matter will not be disclosed to third parties except as required to conduct the matter (for example, to courts or government offices) or as required by law. Please see our Privacy Policy for information on how personal data is handled.

6. Conflict of Interest

Prior to accepting instructions, the Firm conducts a conflict check in accordance with professional rules. If a conflict is identified, the Firm will inform you and, where possible, assist you in identifying alternative counsel.

7. Termination

7.1 By the Client

You may terminate the engagement at any time by written notice. The Firm will cease work upon receipt of that notice, save for any steps necessary to protect your immediate legal position. A final invoice for work completed will be issued.

7.2 By the Firm

The Firm may withdraw from a matter in circumstances recognized by professional rules, including non-payment of fees, receipt of materially false information, or a breakdown of the working relationship that makes continuation impractical. The Firm will provide reasonable notice and will take steps to minimize disruption to your matter.

8. Limitation of Liability

The Firm will conduct your matter with reasonable professional care and skill. In the event of a substantiated claim arising from the Firm's conduct of your matter, liability is limited to direct losses caused by that conduct, and in any event to the amount of fees paid by you in connection with the matter giving rise to the claim.

The Firm is not liable for losses arising from reliance on website content that has not been provided as specific legal advice, for delays caused by court or government processing times, or for outcomes in contested matters that are determined by third parties.

9. Intellectual Property

All content on this website — including text, structure, and design — is the property of Damrong Law or its licensors and is protected by Thai and international copyright law. No part may be reproduced or distributed for commercial purposes without the Firm's written consent.

10. Third-Party Links

This website may include links to external sites such as government portals or court registries. These are provided for convenience and informational value. The Firm does not endorse or take responsibility for the content, accuracy, or availability of any external site.

11. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and any dispute arising in connection with them are governed by the laws of Thailand. Any dispute that cannot be resolved by negotiation will be referred to the competent courts of Bangkok, Thailand, whose jurisdiction you accept.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, the revised version will be published on this page with an updated date. Your continued use of this website after the revised Terms are published constitutes your acceptance of the changes. Matters already under an engagement letter are governed by the terms set out in that letter unless you separately agree otherwise.
