Take a look at the pinned notes under "recommended tradesmen"

[Major Major]

see www.crawshaws.com

the only English qualified lawyer on the island

Crawshaws, that's you MajorMajor.

I don't think I would recommend crawshaws as it is the typical property no problem no problem in bed with the agents law consyltancy office and not so much for setting up a proper company for IT business. But this is my opinion

Use of the search function at the bottom of the Samui forum page on the left hand side yields results.

there are no comercial lawyers on Samui. although many of the lawyers here are femilier with the law they do not specialise in comercial law.

there are some very good lawyers who prctice in Samui. but most of them due to the state of business on Samui are more in the field of real estate or litigation in this field.

if you wish to open an IT company. you will need a good lawyer that can advise you about all the options including BOI incentives, furthermore you will need somone that understands thew IT market legalities in thailand.

i recomend that you shop arrounf and if you see that there is no one go to bangkok. and ask a leading IT firm who they use as leagal office.

use someone on the mainland have used lawyers on both islands enough said try Suratthani

[ebiro]

We set up 3 years ago a IT company in Koh Samui. We also are a BOI promoted company. In that time NO Lawyer in Koh Samui was able to handle the BOI thing, also some pretend to be able, but they where not!

We found a good lawyer in BKK and I'm still do all my BOI,Workpermit and Visa causes with that Lawyer. Expensive but effective.

Don't use Manit. you will never see any work done.

Try Crawshaws. www.crawshaws.com

Mike Peart. Tel: 66-772-46081

Mike is an English Lawyer who had a law firm in Hong kong for a dozen or so years. He is also qualified in OZ.

He is sound as a pound. I have used him on a number of occasions.

You are right. A lot of lawyers ( so called ) are only glorified legal clerks, they can never represent you in court.The foreign Lawyers here, must use Thai staff.

Manit is Singaporian ( I am very sure ).

So it leaves a question, if you are a foreigner, you are NOT allowed to practice law ( any one can correct me on that ). So who does all your legal work?

Bangkok anytime, even if it's a foreign firm there,I think they do employ qualified people, sure you pay,but the result is there.

Ever tried to do litigation work here with a local lawyer? Impossible.They are all in someone's pocket.

I pretty much agree, most of them are simply Company Sec operations. In any case try Crawshaws, they do Company Sec and beleive it or not they do have Thai Lawyers on site for legal disputes, court etc. Mike Peart is the chap to speak to.

Something doesn't add up. If you're just opening the firm then you can't afford a good lawyer. What you really need is a gifted person willing to work on a small sallary.

Quite amazing to make the statement that you are "very sure" Manit Tajew is Singaporean! He was Thai from the moment he was born and still is. Quite amazing this forum sometimes! Also the guy never mentioned anything about BOI incentives! He just wants a company set up. This is incredibly simple in Thailand. Especially as they are no issues re. property ownership, at least not of the face of it.

My apologies are returned to you Roo. On re reading my post it does in fact look as though I was suggesting you had mentioned BOI when in fact I was refering to an earlier post

Cheers.
