About Cross-Border Legal Services (India-Thailand)
Why I Do This
Law isn't just my job - it's what I live for. I see myself as someone who stands up for rights, no matter which side of the border you're on. Now, I'm bringing that same energy to help people and businesses working between India and Thailand.
What Makes Me Different
- I actually have boots on the ground in Thailand, not just giving advice from far away. My team is there, ready to step in when things get tricky or urgent.
- I work closely with top legal minds like Rajesh Kshetry, Shaine Lex, and Kshetry & Associates. Together, we cover a lot more ground and bring in different perspectives.
- My Thailand office has both Indian and Thai lawyers. So, you get advice that fits the laws and the local way of doing things.
What I Can Help With
- Setting up companies and joint ventures for India-Thailand business incorporation
- Handling cross-border dispute resolution India-Thailand, whether it's civil, criminal, or commercial
- Drafting and checking contracts so they're solid in both countries
- Doing legal research and due diligence for investments and partnerships
- Giving practical advice and negotiating deals that actually work
How I Work
I don't believe in giving up. Sometimes things get messy, sometimes they take longer than you want. But I keep pushing, because your goals matter to me. I see myself as a foot soldier for justice, and I bring that attitude to every case.
