Contracts & Commercial Agreements

Contract Review & Negotiation

Reading the draft in front of you, saying plainly what to change and why — then negotiating it with the other side, in your language and theirs.

What matters most to you in this deal — in your own words

Three things: a marked-up draft, a short plain-language summary of what each problem means for you in practice, and a priority list — what must change, what should, and what is fine to concede. You decide with full sight of the trade-offs; indicative turnaround: CONTRACT_TURNAROUND.

Standard for whom? Standard forms are drafted by one side to favour that side. Some terms genuinely are fixed — but far fewer than claimed, and the review tells you which asks are winnable. Even where nothing changes, you sign knowing the risks and their price instead of hoping.

Yes — with the counterparty or their counsel, in Thai, English or both, with you briefed before each round and nothing conceded without your instruction. Negotiating in the counterparty’s language removes their home advantage.

Yes — a post-signing review maps what you are actually bound to: the obligations with dates on them, the exit and renewal points, and the traps to avoid triggering. Knowing the contract you are in is the next best thing to having negotiated it.

Then the decision becomes yours, with clear numbers: accept the risk and price it into the deal, cover it another way — insurance, security, shorter term — or walk. The review’s job is to make that a decision, not a gamble.
