What a focused pension practice offers that a general firm cannot

Pension administrative law in Thailand involves a defined set of authorities, procedures, and timelines. Advisers who encounter these matters occasionally must orient themselves each time. At Aram Legal, pension process is the only work we do. The result is a level of familiarity that goes beyond knowing the rules: we know what the reviewing officers look for, what documentation is most likely to be questioned, and where the process most commonly stalls.

• Over twelve years of specialist practice in pension administrative law
• Principal adviser trained in administrative procedure and administrative appeals
• Team member with direct experience working within pension authority case review

Every engagement at Aram Legal follows the same structure: the scope is agreed in writing at the outset; drafts are shared with the client before filing; updates are sent in writing at each meaningful step; and no strategic decision is taken without the client's prior knowledge and approval. This structure is not optional — it is how the practice operates on every matter, for every client.

• Written scope of engagement agreed before work begins
• Drafts reviewed and approved by the client before filing
• Written progress updates at each meaningful step

Many of our clients are approaching or past retirement age. They may be unfamiliar with administrative procedures, unaccustomed to dealing with lawyers, and understandably anxious about the matter at hand. We regard it as part of our work to make that experience as calm and clear as possible — not by concealing complexity, but by explaining it in the terms a thoughtful non-specialist could follow.

• Plain-language explanations, repeated where needed
• Generous time allocated for questions at each consultation
• Written summaries of all meetings and calls provided after the fact

Our services are priced at a fixed rate that is stated clearly before engagement. The fee does not increase as the work progresses unless the scope changes significantly and this is agreed with the client in advance and in writing. We do not bill by the hour — a practice that creates uncertainty and can discourage clients from asking questions. You may ask as many questions as you need without affecting the cost of your matter.

• Pension Documentation Preparation: 4,200 THB (fixed)
• Decision Letter Response Drafting: 7,600 THB (fixed)
• Full Administrative Review Representation: 13,500 THB (fixed)

No legal adviser can make commitments about the outcome of an administrative process — the authority's decision is its own. What we can control is the quality of the written record presented on your behalf. A thorough, well-ordered file, a clearly argued response, and a complete documentary record for review give the matter the strongest possible foundation. That is what we concentrate on, consistently and without shortcuts.

• Files prepared with the reviewer's perspective in mind
• Responses that address the authority's concerns directly and in writing
• Complete documentary record maintained for the duration of the matter
