When it comes to drafting contract documents, many business owners and individuals often ask: “Do I really need a lawyer, or can I just use a template I found online?”
The truth is, while templates may look convenient, they rarely cover the full picture. Every agreement is unique, and a poorly drafted contract can create risks, disputes, or even financial loss. At Lex Bangkok, we regularly assist clients with drafting all types of contracts, making sure their agreements are legally sound, enforceable, and tailored to their real needs.
Why Drafting a Contract Properly Is So Important
A well-drafted contract does more than just record terms. It:
- Defines the rights and obligations of each party clearly.
- Prevents misunderstandings and reduces the risk of disputes.
- Protects you against hidden liabilities.
- Ensures compliance with Thai law (and international standards, if cross-border).
- Provides strong legal remedies if things go wrong.
Common Types of Agreements Clients Ask Us to Draft
At Lex Bangkok, we help draft a wide variety of agreements. Some of the most common include:
- Commercial Agreements – Service contracts, supply agreements, franchise agreements, distribution contracts.
- Corporate Documents – Shareholders’ agreements, joint venture agreements, employment contracts, NDAs.
- Property Contracts – Lease agreements, sale and purchase agreements, land/condo transfer documents.
- Creative & Production Contracts – Film service agreements, IP licensing, talent agreements.
- Cross-Border Agreements – International trade contracts, payment services agreements, fintech partnerships.
Whether it’s a simple service agreement or a complex shareholders’ agreement, professional contract drafting ensures you are legally protected.
Drafting Contract in Thailand: The Legal Angle
Under Thai law, contracts must meet certain conditions to be valid and enforceable. For example:
- Some contracts must be in writing and signed before witnesses (such as hire of immovable property exceeding three years).
- Certain agreements require registration with Thai authorities to be enforceable (e.g., property transfers).
- Specific wording is often required to make clauses like liquidated damages, non-compete, or termination rights enforceable.
This is why having a lawyer draft your agreement is crucial, we ensure compliance with the Thai Civil and Commercial Code and other applicable regulations.
