David M.
Founder — Technology Startup, Singapore
We came to Haldane needing to form a Thai subsidiary quickly but correctly. The team explained the entity options clearly, handled everything with the Department of Business Development, and delivered a complete incorporation package within three weeks. The compliance checklist they included has been genuinely useful in the months since.

Siriporn N.
Managing Director — Trading Company, Bangkok
I had a distributor agreement reviewed before signing. The annotation document the team produced was thorough — they flagged several clauses I had not considered carefully and explained the implications of each in plain language. The turnaround was within the agreed window and the fee was exactly as stated at the outset.
Contract Review · February 2025
Thomas W.
CEO — Manufacturing Group, Germany
We engaged Haldane for a regulatory compliance advisory covering our Thai operations. The report was well-structured and practical — it identified gaps we had not been aware of and gave us a clear set of steps to work through. The follow-up sessions during implementation were particularly helpful.

Arjun P.
Co-Founder — E-Commerce Business, India
As someone entirely unfamiliar with Thai corporate law, I found the firm's way of explaining things refreshing. No unnecessary jargon, just clear guidance about what was required, why, and in what order. The formation process was smooth and we had our documentation in hand ahead of schedule.

Katherine L.
Legal Counsel — Regional Firm, Australia
We refer Thai contract work to Haldane when our own practice doesn't have the local expertise. The annotation format they use makes it easy to review their work and explain the issues to our own clients. Communication is reliable and the quality is consistent.
Contract Drafting · February 2025
Wanchai C.
Operations Director — Retail Chain, Thailand
We used the compliance advisory service to assess our PDPA position after the Act came into force. The action plan was prioritized well — we knew which items were time-sensitive and which could wait. The follow-up consultations helped us understand implementation in practical terms, not just theoretical ones.

Case Studies
Client Situations in Detail
Case Study — Corporate Formation
Establishing a Tech Subsidiary in Bangkok
The Situation
A Singapore-based software business needed to form a Thai subsidiary to employ local staff and contract with Thai clients directly. The founding team had no prior experience with Thai corporate law and needed reliable guidance through the process.
The Approach
The firm reviewed entity options — including Foreign Business Act implications — and proposed a standard Thai limited company structure. All filings and correspondence with the Department of Business Development were handled directly, with the client updated at each stage.
The Outcome
Registration completed in 18 working days. The client received a full incorporation package, shareholder register, and a first-year compliance checklist covering tax registration, employment law basics, and annual reporting requirements. The business was operational within four weeks of initial engagement.
Case Study — Compliance Advisory
PDPA Compliance Review for a Retail Group
The Situation
A Thai retail group with multiple outlets was uncertain about its obligations under the Personal Data Protection Act, particularly regarding customer data collected in-store and via its loyalty program. Internal views on the requirements were inconsistent.
The Approach
The firm conducted a regulatory landscape mapping exercise covering PDPA, relevant sector guidance, and the group's specific data flows. A gap analysis identified seven areas requiring action, ranked by urgency and risk. A written advisory report was delivered with specific, sequenced recommendations.
The Outcome
The group addressed all high-priority items within six weeks of receiving the report, supported by two follow-up consultations included in the engagement. The compliance team now has a clear framework for assessing new data initiatives going forward.
Case Study — Contract Review
Service Agreement Review for a Consulting Firm
The Situation
An international consulting firm was about to sign a multi-year service agreement with a Thai government-linked entity. The draft had been prepared by the counterparty's legal team and contained several clauses the client's finance director was uncertain about.
The Approach
The firm reviewed the 40-page agreement in full, producing an annotation document that identified twelve clauses requiring attention — covering payment terms, termination rights, liability caps, and intellectual property provisions. Revised language was proposed for each.
The Outcome
The client negotiated eight of the twelve changes successfully. The firm's annotation format allowed the client's negotiating team to present each proposed change clearly and with supporting reasoning. The agreement was signed on improved terms within three weeks of the review.
