Tell us where the document will be used and you will get a plan and a price the same business day.
414. Can you draft a Shareholders' Agreement to prevent future disputes in a company with foreign shareholders?
For digital and IT-adjacent official documents we verify both the content and the file format the receiving system accepts â PDF/A, digital signatures, e-stamps. Quotations separate government fees from professional fees line by line, so nothing appears on the invoice that was not in the quote.

425. Do you offer condo handover inspection services with a lawyer for foreigners who are not currently in Thailand?

Talk to the NYC Legal team on any business day â you get a working plan, not a generic price list.
442. Is there a package for a notary lawyer to authenticate land purchase signatures and act as an interpreter at the Land Office?
