Six Reasons Companies Work with Us
Each of these reflects a deliberate choice about how a commercial litigation practice should operate.
Deep Knowledge of Thai Civil Procedure
The Civil Procedure Code shapes every stage of proceedings. Experience working within its structure is a direct advantage in the preparation and conduct of a case.
Written Reports at Every Stage
Clients receive a clear written account after each significant step — hearings, document exchanges, judicial directions — so the position of the case is never uncertain.
Pre-Action Assessment Before Commitment
Every matter begins with an assessment — examining whether proceedings are appropriate, what alternative pathways exist, and what a realistic outcome looks like.
Transparent, Stated Fees
Our three engagement formats carry clearly stated fees. Companies can plan around a known cost structure without unexpected additions during the engagement.
Cross-Border Case Coordination
Where a dispute extends beyond Thailand, we coordinate with overseas counsel to manage evidence and align strategy across jurisdictions.
Measured, Court-Appropriate Conduct
We do not overstate positions or use alarming language. Advice is direct, honest, and suited to the gravity of proceedings in a formal court setting.
Expertise
Procedural Experience
The Thai Civil Procedure Code prescribes detailed requirements for the filing of pleadings, the submission of evidence, the examination of witnesses, and the conduct of hearings. Counsel who work regularly within this system understand not only what is required, but where procedural preparation can strengthen or expose a case.
- Experience across Civil Court, Court of Appeal, and Supreme Court
- Familiarity with IP and International Trade Court procedures
- Experienced preparation of witness statements and document bundles
Process
Staged Engagement Method
Each of our three engagement formats is structured around a clear set of deliverables and a staged approach to the work. Clients know at the outset what is included, when reports will be issued, and how the engagement will proceed. This reduces uncertainty and allows a company to manage the litigation as a known process rather than an open-ended commitment.
- Pre-action assessment before any commitment to proceedings
- Written reports at each stage of the case
- Quarterly written reports in substantial matters
Communication
Clear, Direct Communication
Litigation can be opaque. Companies often find themselves uncertain about where their case stands between hearings. Luxauct Counsel addresses this directly: every stage is followed by a written report in plain prose that explains the current position, what happened, and what comes next.
- Plain prose — no unexplained legal terminology
- Timely reporting after hearings and key events
- Available to discuss developments during the engagement
Pricing
Transparent Fee Structure
Our three engagement formats — ฿4,400, ฿24,400, and ฿39,000 — are stated clearly, so companies can make an informed decision before any commitment is made. Disbursements such as court filing fees are discussed and agreed in advance. There are no billing surprises mid-engagement.
- Stated fees for each engagement type
- Disbursements agreed in advance
- No additional charges outside the agreed scope
Outcomes
Honest Assessment of Outcomes
We do not frame outcomes in optimistic or promotional terms. What we provide is an honest, considered view of what the proceedings are likely to produce — based on the facts of the dispute, the applicable law, and the procedural context. Where settlement or mediation offers a more practical route to resolution, we say so.
- Candid assessment of case strengths and weaknesses
- Alternative pathway analysis in Pre-Action Memorandum
- Settlement conversations supported where appropriate

Distinctive Features
What Sets Our Practice Apart
The Pre-Action Memorandum as a Standalone Service
Most practices will not assess a matter in detail before being retained for the litigation itself. We offer this assessment as a separate, defined service — allowing a company to obtain a considered view before committing to proceedings.
Cross-Border Engagement as a Core Offering
The Substantial Litigation Programme is specifically structured around disputes with foreign parties, overseas evidence, or parallel proceedings. This is not an add-on; it is a defined engagement format with coordination built in from the start.
Folio-Style Written Reporting
We produce a formal written report at each stage of a matter — not a brief email, but a structured account of proceedings that can be reviewed, filed, and referred to as the case develops.
Conflict Checks Before Every Engagement
Before accepting a new matter, we complete a formal conflict-of-interest review. This protects our existing clients and ensures that every new engagement is free from competing obligations.
