What a Dedicated Pension Practice Offers That a General Office Cannot

Pension matters require a specific kind of attention. This page sets out, plainly, what our practice brings to that work and how our approach differs from alternatives.

Six Reasons to Work with This Practice

Specialist Focus

The practice deals only with pension-related legal work. There is no division of attention between commercial contracts, property conveyancing, and criminal defence. Pension matters are all we do.

Structured Process

Each engagement follows a documented process: initial review, documentation gathering, position paper, correspondence, and resolution summary. Clients know where their matter stands at each stage.

Direct Practitioner Access

The qualified practitioner responsible for a matter is directly reachable throughout the engagement. Correspondence is not filtered through a call centre or handled solely by unqualified staff.

Stated Fees

Fees for each service are stated before engagement begins. The ฿5,400 reconstruction service, ฿11,200 scheme review, and ฿29,800 dual-track coordination each carry fixed pricing for standard engagements.

Written Output

Every substantive finding is summarised in writing for the client. These documents can be shared with family members, other advisers, or pension administrators without further work from the client.

Regional Knowledge

The practice is based in Khon Kaen and is familiar with the employment history of clients who worked in the northeast — small manufacturers, provincial government offices, regional branches of larger firms.

In More Detail

Each Advantage Explained

Professional Expertise

The principal practitioner has worked exclusively on pension and employment entitlement matters for over a decade. That period of focused practice means she has read a large number of occupational scheme documents, corresponded with most of the major pension administrators operating in Thailand, and handled reconstruction matters across a range of employment types.

Client Service

Pension matters can extend over many months. Clients need to know that their file has not been set aside, that correspondence has been sent, and that progress — even when slow — is occurring. We provide written updates at each significant stage and respond to enquiries within two working days.

Process and Methodology

Each type of matter follows a documented workflow. For a records reconstruction, that means: initial information gathering, identification of former employers, formal requests, review of received material, preparation of supplementary evidence where needed, and a written summary of the reconstructed position. Nothing is left to informal memory.

Value and Pricing

The fees for our three services are set at levels that reflect the work involved without requiring clients to take on open-ended financial commitments. Pension records reconstruction starts at ฿5,400. Clients know what they are committing to before they agree to proceed, and fees do not change mid-engagement without a separate discussion.

Distinctive Features

What Sets This Practice Apart

Managed Caseload by Design

The practice limits the number of active matters. This is not a constraint — it is a deliberate operating model that ensures each file receives sufficient time. Clients are not queued behind a volume workload.

Client-Readable Written Positions

The summaries we prepare are written to be understood by the client, not just by other legal practitioners. We avoid unnecessary technical language and explain the reasoning behind each position taken.

Established Correspondence Channels

Over years of practice, we have developed working relationships with the administrative offices of several major pension administrators and government record-holders. This familiarity can reduce delays in obtaining documentation.

Candid Initial Assessment

We do not accept all enquiries. If a matter is unlikely to produce a meaningful change, we say so at the initial consultation rather than taking the engagement and delivering a discouraging result later. This approach respects both parties' time.
