What You Can Count On
Six qualities that families consistently say made a difference when working with us.
Qualified Family Law Practitioners
All advisers hold Thai Bar Association membership and have substantial experience in family and civil law matters.
English-Language Consultations
We advise international clients and expatriates entirely in English, so nothing important is lost in translation.
Fixed, Transparent Fees in THB
Service fees are disclosed at the outset. There are no hidden charges and no open-ended billing cycles.
Absolute Discretion
Every conversation and every document is treated with strict professional confidentiality, without exception.
Focus on Wellbeing, Not Just Legality
We advise with the long-term wellbeing of all family members in mind — not only the strict legal position.
Pace Set by the Client
We do not hurry clients toward decisions. Consultations move at your pace, and you are never pressured to proceed before you are comfortable.
Deep Knowledge of Thai Family Law
Our team has spent years working within the Thai legal system on family matters specifically. We understand not only the statutory framework but also how family law matters are handled in practice — which can differ significantly from the letter of the law.
- Registered with the Thai Bar Association
- Extensive experience in cross-border family cases
- Current knowledge of Thai Civil and Commercial Code provisions
Professional Expertise
Family law in Thailand involves nuances that general practitioners may not be familiar with. Our focused practice means we have handled the full range of family matters — from straightforward prenuptial agreements to complex arrangements involving assets held in multiple countries.
Client Service
We keep client numbers manageable so that every person we work with receives attentive, personal service. You will always speak with someone who knows your situation — not a case handler who needs to look up your file before responding.
Personal, Attentive Service
Each client works with a named adviser who is responsible for their matter from beginning to end. You are not passed between departments, and your matter is not handled by someone unfamiliar with your circumstances.
- Named adviser for every client
- Prompt responses to queries
- Consultations available by phone, video, or in person
Clear, Fixed Fees — No Surprises
We offer fixed pricing for our services so you can plan with certainty. You receive a full breakdown before any work begins, and our fee does not change unless the scope of the matter changes significantly — in which case we discuss this with you first.
- Prenuptial & Marital Agreements from ฿5,800 THB
- Spousal Maintenance Guidance from ฿1,850 THB
- Child Custody & Support from ฿3,400 THB
Value & Pricing
Our fees reflect careful, qualified work — not the cost of a large firm's overhead. You receive the same legal expertise at a fee level that is accessible to families at different stages and circumstances.
How We Differ
Karuna vs. Typical Legal Providers
Not all legal services approach family matters in the same way. Here is how our practice compares to a more conventional offering.
Typical Legal Providers
- Billing by the hour — costs can escalate unpredictably
- Matters handled across a team — clients often unsure who is responsible
- Processes that can feel formal and rushed
- Limited availability of English-language family law advisers
- Focus on legal process rather than family outcomes
Working with Karuna
- Fixed fees disclosed before work begins — no billing surprises
- Named adviser throughout — always someone who knows your situation
- Consultations that move at the client's pace
- Fully English-language family law practice
- Outcomes shaped around the family's wellbeing, not just legal compliance
What Makes Us Different
Distinctive Features of Our Practice
Cross-Border Family Expertise
Many families in Bangkok involve more than one nationality or jurisdiction. We are experienced in advising on how Thai law interacts with arrangements that have an international dimension, and we help clients understand where Thai provisions apply and where they do not.
Child-Centred Custody Approach
When children are involved, we shape custody and support guidance around their day-to-day life — not the preferences or disputes of the adults. This perspective consistently leads to arrangements that are more durable and less disruptive for children.
Agreement-First Philosophy
We always explore whether an agreed resolution is possible before considering adversarial routes. For most family matters, an agreement reached by both parties is far more sustainable than one imposed by a court.
Bilingual Documentation
Where needed, we prepare agreements in both English and Thai. This is particularly important for documents that need to be understood clearly by both parties, or that may be used in proceedings before Thai courts.
