Legal Support for Foreign Nationals, Families and Businesses in Thailand
Closer CSS Law is a Thailand-based law firm and legal advisory practice assisting foreign nationals, families, expatriates, tourists and international businesses with legal matters throughout Thailand.
With offices in Phuket and Bangkok, our practice is built around four principal areas:
Our particular strength lies in matters where foreign clients must navigate the Thai legal system, often while dealing with unfamiliar procedures, language barriers, cross-border issues or urgent personal circumstances.
We combine Thai legal expertise with international client communication, practical case management and close coordination with lawyers, authorities, embassies, financial institutions and other professionals where required.
Our Core Legal Practice
Inheritance, Probate & Estate Administration
Inheritance and probate is one of the principal areas of our practice.
We regularly assist foreign families following the death of a relative who lived, owned property, maintained bank accounts, held company interests or otherwise had assets in Thailand.
We also have extensive practical experience assisting tourists and expatriates who become involved with the Thai police or criminal justice system. These matters may arise unexpectedly through traffic accidents, allegations of theft, property damage, disputes, minor criminal offences, detention, police investigations or other incidents requiring immediate legal assistance.
These matters can become particularly complex when heirs live abroad, a Thai spouse is involved, assets are located in several countries or both Thai and foreign succession rules need to be considered.
Our role is to establish the legal and factual position of the estate, identify the relevant heirs and assets, coordinate the Thai probate process and guide the family through administration and eventual distribution.
We also assist with wills, succession planning and inheritance disputes involving foreign nationals and Thai assets.
Police Assistance, Criminal Matters & Accidents
Foreign tourists and expatriates can unexpectedly become involved with the Thai police or criminal justice system.
Closer CSS Law assists clients in matters involving traffic accidents, theft allegations, property damage, assault, disputes, minor criminal offences, detention, police investigations and other incidents requiring legal intervention.
We assist both foreign nationals accused of offences and those who have become victims of crime or accidents in Thailand.
Where necessary, our lawyers attend police stations, assist with statements and evidence, communicate with investigators, support bail applications and coordinate with family members, embassies and other relevant parties.
In these situations, clear communication and early legal assistance can be particularly important.
Corporate, Commercial & Immigration Law
We also assist foreign entrepreneurs, investors and businesses operating or preparing to operate in Thailand.
Our work includes company formation, corporate structures, shareholder matters, commercial agreements, contract drafting and review, business consultancy, regulatory matters and selected business disputes.
Immigration support includes business-related visas, work permits and selected immigration matters for foreign residents and business owners.
Our approach is practical. We aim to ensure that legal structures and contractual arrangements are not only legally appropriate, but also workable within the commercial realities of operating in Thailand.
Real Estate & Property Law
Closer CSS Law assists foreign clients with selected property transactions and real estate matters in Thailand.
Our experience includes property due diligence and title searches, contract review and drafting, condominium foreign quota and remittance requirements, Land Office transfers, lease structuring, property disputes and claims.
Our focus is primarily on protecting buyers, owners and investors and helping clients understand the legal position, documentation and risks surrounding a transaction.
Where matters involve more complex development structures or specialist requirements, we coordinate with appropriate professionals where additional expertise is required.
International Understanding. Thai Legal Support.
Many of our clients have little previous experience with the Thai legal system.
A family dealing with an inheritance, a tourist required to attend a police station, an expatriate facing a dispute or a business owner establishing operations in Thailand may all encounter procedures that are very different from those in their home country.
Our role is to bridge that gap.
We explain the legal position in clear language, identify the available options and help clients make informed decisions about what should happen next.
Who We Serve
Our clients include foreign families, heirs and beneficiaries, expatriates, tourists, retirees, entrepreneurs, investors, business owners, property buyers and international companies with interests in Thailand.
Many require multilingual communication, cross-border coordination and a legal team capable of translating Thai legal procedures into clear and practical guidance.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide clear, reliable and practical legal support to clients dealing with important matters in Thailand.
We approach every case with careful preparation, discretion and a strong sense of professional responsibility.
Whether the matter concerns an estate, a police investigation, a business issue or a property transaction, our objective remains the same:
to establish the legal position, protect our client’s interests and provide a clear path forward under Thai law.
