Understanding These Legal Terms Is The Best Way To Start
BAIL BOND
A Bail Bond is a type of surety bond provided by a bail agent or bail bondsman that secures the release of a defendant awaiting trial upon charges from the custody of law enforcement officials. There are two types of Bail Bonds:
Criminal Bail Bond: used in criminal cases and guarantees that a defendant appear for trial when called upon by the court and guarantees payment for any fines or penalties that are decided against the defendant.
Civil Bail Bond: used in civil cases and guarantees the payment of the debt, plus interest and costs, assessed against the defendant.
In Thailand, any defendant charged with a civil and/or criminal offense has the right to be bailed as long as the offense is not punishable by death or life imprisonment. However, the defendant must provide a sum of money as a guarantee to the court that they would appear before the court passes its judgement on their case.
A judge sets a bail amount. If the defendant cannot pay the bail amount on their own, they can seek help from a bail bondsman in the form of a bail bond. A Bail Bond can be an asset, cash or government employment status. The minimum bail amount may vary because the presiding judge of each jurisdiction sets the amount of bail for each case.
Walailak Law firm provides bail bond services by assisting our clients in filing bail applications as well as in executing all necessary paper works on collateral in connection with the bail bond.
CIVIL CASE
Civil law is a body of rules that defines and protects the private rights of citizens, offers legal remedies that may be sought in a dispute. It deals with behavior that results in disputes between individuals or organizations, such as accidents, negligence resulting in injury or death, breach of contract, defamation (including libel and slander), probation of wills, property disputes and family law.
In Thailand, Civil Law cases can be extremely complicated, time consuming and stressful. Hence, Walailak Law firm strives to defend our client’s best interest in any kind of civil disputes by providing civil litigation services to protect them.
COMPANY REGISTRATION
Registering a company in Thailand can be very complicated and lengthy. Unlike other Asian countries where the application documents are provided in two languages (English and Local), in Thailand, the registration procedures and the required documents are often time in Thai. Without a sufficient knowledge of the Thai law and language, it will most probably lead to serious complications for the company registration. Hence, there are many factors to be considered and right decisions to be made in order to proceed in compliance with the company law in Thailand.
Walailak Law firm will help and guide you through the whole process. We can communicate in Thai on your behalf, successfully review your company registration documents and walk you through the right procedure depending on your company’s plan.
FAMILY CASE
Family law is the legal field that handles domestic issues such as marriage, domestic partnerships, spouse abuse, child adoption, child abuse, child custody, divorce, and property settlements.
Family law cases can be emotionally charged, which is why it’s important to choose a highly professional and dedicated service when seeking a divorce or legal separation.

By working with couples and families, we aim to help them reach fair and legally enforceable agreements that can save them money and avoid the need for court litigation. We provide guidance on family law and divorce law to help clients make informed decisions.
REAL ESTATE
In law, real estate refers to land and any permanent improvements to the land, such as buildings, fences, or wells. It also includes any rights or interests in the land, such as the right to use or access the land or the right to develop or sell the land. Real estate law includes a wide range of legal issues that pertain to the ownership, use, and development of land and buildings. These issues may include things like property ownership and title disputes, zoning and land use regulations, environmental laws, and construction and development projects. Real estate law is an important area of law that is concerned with the legal rights and responsibilities of individuals and organizations with respect to the use, development, and transfer of real estate.
Walailak Law firm has a team of experts who are experienced in working with the Land Office and other relevant government offices to handle real estate or property transactions. Our services include transferring property ownership, registering right of way, requesting a copy of a land title deed, combining or subdividing land, and applying for house registration.
ARBITRATION
Arbitration is a legal process in which an independent third party, called an arbitrator, is used to resolve a dispute between two parties. The arbitrator listens to both sides of the dispute and then makes a binding decision, called an award, that is usually final and cannot be appealed. Arbitration is often used as an alternative to litigation in court, as it can be quicker, less expensive, and more private. It is often used to resolve disputes in business, construction, employment, and other areas.
Walailak Law firm has a team of experts who are experienced in working with the arbitrators Offices in Thailand to facilitate the whole process.
CRIMINAL CASE
Criminal law is a body of rules that defines criminal offenses, regulates the investigation, apprehension, charging, and trial of suspected individuals, and provides the penalties and modes of treatment applicable to convicted offenders.
The Penal Law or Code, which identifies which acts or omissions are considered as crimes or offenses, differs from one country to another. In Thailand, the Penal Code is the codified system of law, or body of laws concerning crimes and offenses against ‘the public’ (including the Kingdom of Thailand, the King and certain members of the royal family) and or against another person and prescribing a penalty for the one who violates it.
Rights of an Alleged Offender in Criminal Cases
A police officer has the right to keep an alleged offender for investigation for 48 hours. If the investigation is not completed within 48 hours, the officer must obtain a court order granting confinement time extension, which is at the court’s discretion.
The alleged offender has the following rights during the 48 hours of the investigation:
- be informed of charges brought against him by the arresting officer. They must show the arrest warrant (if issued) to the arrested.
- remain silent or testify any facts.
- inform his embassy, relatives or any people of his arrest and the place of his incarceration.
- privately consult with his lawyer by making a written or verbal request to the police officer on duty for meeting his lawyer at the police station. The court can provide a lawyer without any cost for an alleged offender who cannot afford one.
- have an interpreter (for non-Thai speaker) provided by the police or the court for translation during the legal procedures.
- have a lawyer present at every step during the investigation.
- receive visitation (if incarcerated) during business hours or at any time allowed by the police officer on duty.
- receive proper medical treatment, if sick. Police officers will provide an escort going to a government hospital before confinement and after receiving permission from the police station chief.
- apply and to post bail request form to the investigating officer and they will review the bail request without delay.
LEGAL DOCUMENTS
We offer legal services that involve reviewing, interpreting, modifying, and drafting various types of contracts. A contract is a voluntary agreement between two or more parties that is legally binding and enforceable.
The scope of our legal contracts are Power of Attorney, Last Will and Testament, and Notarization.
- Power Of Attorney:
A Power Of Attorney (POA) is a written document that grants someone else the legal authority to act on behalf of the signer in managing their business. This may include signing papers, checks, title documents, and contracts, as well as handling bank accounts and other activities.
To execute a power of attorney, you must appear at our office and meet with a Notary Services Attorney in person.
- Will and Testament:
To effectively plan for the disposal of your estate, you need to anticipate and arrange for the management of your assets in case of your incapacitation or death. This process is called estate planning, and it may include the preparation of a Last Will and Testament.
A Last Will and Testament is a document that expresses your intention for the distribution of your assets and other matters after your death. It may include details about your assets in Thailand, such as properties, bank accounts, vehicles, and personal valuable items, as well as designation of who should inherit and control them according to your instructions. Having a Last Will and Testament can help avoid problems and conflicts among your heirs when distributing your estate.
If a person does not have a Last Will and Testament, their assets in Thailand will be distributed according to the law. To make sure your Last Will and Testament is legally valid, it’s essential to observe the correct legal formalities when signing, amending, or revoking it.
Walailak Law Firm can help you understand how to structure your Last Will and Testament and guide you through the required documentation.
- Notarization:
Notarization, carried out by a Notary Public or Notary Services Attorney, is a process that helps ensure the authenticity of a document. It confirms that the document is legitimate, the signature is genuine, and the signer was not coerced or intimidated.
In many countries, personal or commercial documents that originate from or are signed in another country must be notarized before they can be used or recognized legally. By confirming the signer’s identity and witnessing their signature in person, a Notarial Services Attorney adds legal credibility to a document through notarization.
If you need to sign an affidavit or other document requiring an oath, or a legal document such as a Power of Attorney, a deed, or other writings that need to be acknowledged by a Notarial Services Attorney, we can help. You will need to visit our Office in person with your original identification cards and documents.
