Corporate & Commercial
DRKI provides legal advice to publicly held and private businesses. We often serve as general counsel for corporations in handling all legal aspects of the corporate life-cycle, from the initial establishment to dissolution. Our general corporate practice is broad and often intersects with other law practice areas, including taxation.

DRKI provides advice to both publicly listed and private companies on various joint ventures, restructurings and corporate transactions, both domestic and cross-border, across multiple industries. Our services include both the planning, drafting and revision of joint venture agreements, share sale and purchase agreements, shareholders’ agreements and loan agreements. We also complete all mandatory registrations and filings with the relevant government authorities, often within a shortened periods.
Structuring Foreign Investment
DRKI advises multinational and regional entities about business structures and transactions typically regulated by Thailaws governing foreign investment. DRKI prepares the essential certification or licensing applications for extraordinary or restricted activities contemplated by foreign companies and for minimum capital requirement exemptions. We assist in preparation of requisite annual operation and transfer technology reports, and perform necessary maintenance to ensure licenses or certificates remain valid.
Labor & Employment
DRKI has a dedicated, experienced labor practice to render a full range of compliance related services. We provide practical labor and employment solutions to clients, and representations in labor matters and disputes that range in complexity. We review, or can even prepare, employment agreements, work rules and regulations and internal policies, and draft documents relevant to the particular matter and governing laws.
Board of Investment (BOI) Promotion & Other Government Incentives
DRKI provides comprehensive services for foreign companies to acquire BOI promotion. BOI promotion comprises a range of tax and non-tax incentives, among others, awarded by government to attract and retain foreign investment in Thailand. We advise about feasibilities, and help clarify the objectives and structure of the investment. We can then help the investor present favorable BOI proposals to the authority. DRKI stays attuned to application status, coordinates with BOI Departments, and executes all mandatory filings during the application process and those essential to maintaining promotion. Government also incentivizes through its Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand (IEAT), and its commitments under ASEAN Comprehensive Investment Agreement, ASEAN Framework Agreement on Services, and the Treaty of Amity and Economic Relations between Thailand and the US.
