We reserve the right to restrict or discontinue access to the website at any time, without prior notice, for any reason including maintenance, security, or compliance requirements.

3. Information on This Website Is Not Legal Advice

If you have a specific legal question about an estate, succession dispute, or related matter, we encourage you to contact us directly so that we may discuss your situation properly. An initial conversation carries no commitment on either side.

4. Client Engagement

A formal solicitor-client relationship between you and Asoka Counsel is established only upon execution of a written engagement letter specifying the scope of work, the fee arrangement, and the applicable terms of representation. Submitting a contact form or calling our chambers does not constitute a formal engagement.

We reserve the right to decline to act in any matter, for any reason, without being required to give reasons. We are subject to the professional rules of the Lawyers Council of Thailand, and we will not accept instructions that conflict with those rules or our professional obligations.

In matters involving potential conflicts of interest, we will conduct a conflict-of-interest check before proceeding. If we are unable to act, we will inform you promptly so that you may seek advice elsewhere without delay.

5. Fees and Billing

The fees described on this website represent our standard published rates for the services described. They are set out for informational purposes and are subject to confirmation in each engagement letter.

• Fees are stated in Thai Baht (THB) and are exclusive of any applicable taxes, court fees, government charges, or disbursements, which will be charged in addition unless otherwise agreed in writing
• For complex or multi-phase matters, fees may vary from published rates; this will be communicated clearly before any engagement commences
• Payment terms, invoicing schedule, and methods of payment will be set out in the engagement letter
• We reserve the right to require an advance payment before commencing work on a matter

6. Confidentiality

We treat all information shared with us in the course of a client engagement or initial enquiry with strict confidentiality, consistent with our professional obligations under Thai law and the rules of the Lawyers Council of Thailand.

Confidentiality does not apply to information that is already in the public domain, that we are required by law or court order to disclose, or that you have expressly authorised us to share. Please see our Privacy Policy for further information on how personal data is handled.

7. Intellectual Property

All content on this website — including text, design, graphics, and structural elements — is the property of Asoka Counsel or its licensors and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from this content without our prior written permission.

Documents we prepare in the course of a formal legal engagement are delivered to the client for the purposes of that engagement. Ownership and licensing of such materials will be addressed in the engagement letter where relevant.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by Thai law, Asoka Counsel's liability for any claim arising out of the use of this website or its content is limited to the amount paid to us in fees in the twelve months preceding the claim. We are not liable for indirect, consequential, or incidental losses arising from reliance on website content.

This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under Thai law.

For claims arising from formal legal engagements, the liability terms in the engagement letter will apply.
