TP is a Thailand-based commercial law firm dedicated to providing world-class legal services to foreign enterprises investing in Thailand, with an international perspective.

Although TP is a young law firm, established in 2023 by Dr. Xiaoqing Xu together with senior Thai lawyers and advisors, it is also a highly experienced one. Dr. Xu has more than 20 years of international legal practice experience, having worked at leading global law firms. Since 2015, the other founders and core team members have continuously provided services to foreign enterprises in Thailand, covering nearly all areas of foreign investment. With this background, TP has been repeatedly recommended and recognized by various international legal ranking institutions as a “recommended and leading law firm” in Thailand.

Positioning and Vision of TP

TP is a medium-sized, corporate-structured boutique commercial law firm focused on serving corporate clients.

Our long-term goal is to become a boutique commercial law firm widely respected and recognized across Southeast Asia. We will continue to focus on Thai domestic matters while fostering collaboration with professional service institutions from various countries and regions.

Philosophy of TP

  • The legal services market is highly competitive. The true value of a law firm lies in delivering optimal solutions to clients. We are always efficiency-driven and results-oriented.
  • The legal services market is highly diverse. Legal system and cultural differences are the key challenges foreign investors face locally. We are committed to leveraging cross-cultural experience and perspectives to provide optimal local support.
  • The legal services market is highly stratified. Law firms must identify their target clients and their core needs effectively. We are dedicated to serving specific clients and industries, using our accumulated expertise to provide professional support that is rooted in, but goes beyond, legal services.
  • We believe no law firm is perfect, nor can any firm be absolutely leading in all jurisdictions, all practice areas, and all legal issues. Recognizing the limits of service capabilities allows us to focus more effectively. We do not pursue being “large and comprehensive”; instead, we strive to build strengths in a few key areas such as investment and M&A, local compliance, international trade support and remedies, and major commercial litigation. Nor do we pursue a large number of clients; by focusing on selected target clients, we can dedicate all our resources to delivering optimal results.
  • The legal services industry is reputation-driven, requiring time, dedication, and consistent effort. For us, client experience is of utmost importance. We are committed to providing every client with the most meticulous and high-quality service and support possible.

Advantages of TP

  • We have the best Chinese team in Thailand. All our Chinese lawyers and legal consultants come from China’s leading law firms, including “Red Circle” and other top-tier partnership firms, while our tax advisors are from the Big Four accounting firms. Most importantly, our Chinese team is committed to integrating into Thai society and is willing to establish long-term roots here. This enables us to view clients’ needs through a distinctly Chinese perspective, better understand their commercial aspirations, and deliver more targeted professional services.
  • We have a professional and ambitious Thai lawyer team. A significant proportion of our Thai lawyers have studied or worked in Greater China, equipping them with international perspectives and the ability to respond to client needs more effectively.
  • We foster a harmonious and positive firm culture. This enables us to integrate professionals from different countries effectively and provide clients with responsiveness and efficiency that far exceed local standards.
  • We have a premium client base. 100% of our clients are corporate clients; 90% are listed companies or enterprises of larger size; 70% have a market value exceeding THB 100 billion, making them industry leaders. Working with these clients allows us to gain timely insights into business trends, while effectively addressing their needs further enhances our service capabilities.
