Client Reviews
James Merritt
British national · Bangkok
"I was purchasing a condominium unit in Bangkok and wanted someone to review the contracts before I signed anything. The team reviewed everything carefully and explained the title status, the payment terms, and two points in the purchase agreement that I would not have noticed on my own. They were unhurried and clear throughout."

Sunita Krishnamurthy
Singapore-based director · Company in Chiang Mai
"We needed to restructure our Thai company's articles of association and bring the board governance documentation up to date. Pavonis handled the whole project with a defined timeline and delivered exactly what was agreed. Communication was always prompt and in English, which mattered as our team is primarily based in Singapore."

Robert & Claire Paulsen
Retired couple · Chiang Rai
"We had lived in Thailand for many years and finally decided it was time to put our affairs in order properly — wills, beneficiary arrangements, and guardianship for our grandchildren. Pensiri handled everything with patience and genuine care. Nothing felt rushed. We came away knowing our wishes were properly documented."

Luca Tremblay
Canadian developer · Phuket project
"I was acquiring a commercial property in Phuket and needed someone who genuinely understood the title deed categories and what the encumbrances on the land actually meant in practice. The due diligence report was thorough and written clearly enough that I could follow the reasoning myself. That mattered."

Amara Hendriksen
Dutch national · Bangkok-based business
"We brought Pavonis in to review our company's governance documentation ahead of a change in our shareholder structure. They identified several areas where our existing documents were inconsistent and prepared updated versions that properly reflected the new arrangement. The whole project ran within the agreed timeline."

Margaret Walsh
Irish national · Long-term resident, Bangkok
"I came to Pavonis to prepare a will covering assets in both Thailand and Ireland. They were upfront about what Thai law governs and where it would be sensible to involve an Irish solicitor as well. I appreciated that they didn't overreach — they handled the Thai portion properly and coordinated with my overseas lawyer for the rest."

Case Studies
The following scenarios illustrate the type of work Pavonis undertakes. Details have been adapted to preserve client confidentiality.
Property Law
SITUATION
An Australian buyer was purchasing a condominium unit in Bangkok and had received a draft sale and purchase agreement from the developer's lawyer. The buyer was unfamiliar with Thai property documentation and uncertain whether the title was fully clear.
WHAT PAVONIS DID
A full title search confirmed a Chanote title with no encumbrances. The sale and purchase agreement was reviewed and two provisions — relating to late completion and foreign ownership ratio — were identified as requiring amendment. Pavonis negotiated the amendments and attended the land office on completion.
OUTCOME
The buyer completed the purchase with confidence in the title and on terms that properly reflected the amended agreement. Engagement duration: 6 weeks.
Corporate Governance
SITUATION
A technology company with a majority Thai shareholder and a minority German investor needed to formalise its governance structure ahead of a funding round. The existing documentation was minimal and some provisions were inconsistent with the current shareholder arrangement.
WHAT PAVONIS DID
Pavonis reviewed the existing articles and shareholder documentation, identified inconsistencies, and prepared an updated set of articles and a board governance protocol aligned with Thai company law requirements. Regulatory filings with the Department of Business Development were prepared.
OUTCOME
Updated documentation in place within 5 weeks. The company proceeded to its funding round with governance documentation that satisfied investor due diligence requirements.
Family & Succession
SITUATION
A Swedish couple with a long residence in Thailand held assets in both countries — a condominium, savings accounts, and a family company. They had no wills in place and wanted to put a proper succession plan in order, with particular attention to provisions for their adult children.
WHAT PAVONIS DID
Over five sessions, Pavonis reviewed the asset structure, prepared wills covering Thai-situated assets, arranged coordination with Swedish counsel for the Swedish portion, and prepared beneficiary designations. Guardianship considerations for a grandchild were also addressed.
OUTCOME
A complete succession plan covering Thai and Swedish assets, with wills formally executed under Thai law and complementary documentation prepared in Sweden. Engagement duration: 8 weeks.
