It has operated continuously since 2006 and has handled more than 5,000 client matters. The firm is operated by <strong>ThaiLaw Online Co., Ltd.<\/strong>, a Thai limited company registered with the Department of Business Development, Ministry of Commerce, under company registration number <strong>0305557004821<\/strong> and its head office in Bangkok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ThaiLawOnline is one single firm. It is not Isaan Lawyers, not Anglo Siam Legal (Same manager as Isaan Lawyers), not Siam Legal, and not a branch, franchise or partner of any other Thai law firm. If you found this page while checking who is behind thailawonline.com, the answer is below: one registered company, one lawyer of record, one managing director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rank-math-toc-block\" id=\"rank-math-toc\"><h2>Table des mati\u00e8res<\/h2><nav><ul><li><a href=\"#thai-lawyer-of-record\">Thai lawyer of record<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#managing-director\">Managing Director<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#a-law-firm-not-a-legal-information-website\">A law firm, not a legal information website<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#faq-question-1790299380200\">Is ThaiLawOnline the same as Isaan Lawyers?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#faq-question-1790299403619\">Is ThaiLawOnline connected to Anglo Siam Legal or Siam Legal?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#faq-question-1790299404635\">Is ThaiLawOnline a registered company in Thailand? <\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#faq-question-1790299455786\">Can a foreigner be a lawyer in Thailand?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#faq-question-1790299456969\">How long has ThaiLawOnline been in business? <\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#faq-question-1790299495068\">Does ThaiLawOnline publish its fees? <\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#faq-question-1790299540268\">Are the Thai codes, Supreme Court decisions and legal news on this site legal advice?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#faq-question-1790299587620\">Which languages does ThaiLawOnline work in?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"thai-lawyer-of-record\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Thai lawyer of record<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Thai lawyer of record is <strong>Wichuda Atthamethakon, LL.M.<\/strong>, holder of Thai Bar Licence No. 3149\/2556 issued by the Lawyers Council of Thailand, and a Notarial Services Attorney. She has worked with the firm since 2013 and handles family, civil and notarial matters. Every legal matter accepted by ThaiLawOnline is handled by a lawyer licensed in Thailand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"managing-director\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Managing Director<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Managing Director and sole registered director of ThaiLaw Online Co., Ltd. is <strong>S\u00e9bastien H. Brousseau, LL.B., B.Sc.<\/strong> He was admitted to the Barreau du Qu\u00e9bec and the International Bar Association. He has thirty years in law, twenty of them managing law firms in Thailand, and has lived in Thailand since 2004. As a foreign national he does not practise Thai law: he manages the firm, supervises client communication and research, and the Thai lawyers of the firm carry out the legal work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"a-law-firm-not-a-legal-information-website\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">A law firm, not a legal information website<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The free resources published on this site, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/fr\/thai-civil-code\/\">annotated Thai Civil and Commercial Code<\/a> and Criminal Code, the Thai Supreme Court (Dika) decision library and the weekly legal news, exist to support our practice, not to replace it. They are written and reviewed by the firm, and every client matter is handled by licensed Thai counsel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"trained-in-both-civil-law-and-common-law\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trained in both civil law and common law<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thailand is a civil law country. Most of our clients come from common law countries: the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and Canada. Sebastien Brousseau was trained in both traditions at the Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al, one of the few law faculties that teaches the two systems side by side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This matters more than it sounds. A foreign client&#8217;s expectations are shaped by the common law system they grew up under: binding precedent, discovery, the way a contract is read. Thai courts apply a codified civil law tradition where those assumptions often do not hold. Explaining a Thai outcome to a foreign client means translating between two legal cultures, not only between two languages. That is the work, and it is why the firm has spent years annotating the Thai codes and cataloguing Supreme Court decisions in English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"fixed-fees-published-before-you-call\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tarifs fixes, publi\u00e9s avant votre appel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We publish our prices. A bilingual Thai last will starts at 3,900 THB, a living will at 1,900 THB, a prenuptial agreement at 8,900 THB, an uncontested divorce at 9,900 THB, a registered usufruct at 3,900 THB, condominium due diligence at 19,900 THB, a notarised document at 950 THB, a legal research report at 4,900 THB, and a consultation at 2,000 THB per hour. You know the cost before you contact us, and the fee is agreed in writing before work starts. Fees that depend on the facts, such as contested litigation, are quoted after intake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"languages\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Langues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We work in English, Thai and French. Documents for Thai courts and government offices are prepared in Thai by our Thai lawyers; clients receive bilingual versions where the service includes them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"offices-and-how-we-work\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Offices and how we work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ThaiLawOnline is an online-first firm.

Sebastien Brousseau founded Isaan Lawyers in 2007 and sold it at the end of 2021. ThaiLawOnline, founded in 2006, is the firm he still manages today.

Siam Legal is an unrelated firm; Sebastien Brousseau managed its Pattaya office for part of 2007 only. ThaiLawOnline has no ownership, management, staff or referral relationship with either firm.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1790299404635\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question\"><strong>Is ThaiLawOnline a registered company in Thailand?<\/strong> <\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer\">\n\n<p>Yes.
