The Lanna Shield Advantage
What sets our approach apart — and why it matters for your legal advisory needs in Thailand and ASEAN.
HomeKey Advantages of Working With Us
Every aspect of our advisory practice has been shaped by the real-world needs of clients navigating Thai and ASEAN legal requirements.
Fixed, Transparent Pricing
Every service has a clear price stated upfront. You know the cost before you commit, with no hourly billing and no surprise charges at the end.
Written Advisory Summaries
Verbal advice alone is not enough. Every engagement produces a formal written document — something you can reference, share with colleagues, and use as a basis for action.
Chiang Mai Based, ASEAN Capable
Based in northern Thailand with deep local knowledge, but equipped to guide businesses operating across multiple ASEAN jurisdictions.
Defined Timelines
Each engagement has a set schedule — whether that is two sessions for lease advisory or a ten-week structured program for cross-border work. No open-ended billing.
Thai and English Delivery
Advisory sessions and written deliverables are available in both Thai and English, removing language barriers from the legal advisory process.
Focused Expertise
We concentrate on lease, employment, and cross-border commercial law. That focus means deeper knowledge and more practical advice than a generalist practice can offer.
A Closer Look at What We Offer
Deep Regulatory Knowledge
Our team works within the Thai legal framework on a daily basis. This means we understand not just what the law says, but how it is applied in practice — by landlords, employers, government agencies, and courts. When we advise you, it comes from hands-on experience with how these regulations actually function, not from theoretical interpretation alone. For cross-border matters, we draw on direct experience with ASEAN regulatory environments and bilateral investment frameworks.
Modern, Efficient Process
We use secure digital tools for document sharing, scheduling, and case tracking. Remote consultations are available via video call for clients outside Chiang Mai or elsewhere in the region. Written deliverables are provided in professional digital formats, making it simple for you to review, share with internal teams, or forward to other advisors. Our workflow is designed to minimize delays and keep engagements on schedule.
Client-Centered Communication
Legal advisory should not feel intimidating or opaque. We take the time to explain regulatory concepts in plain language and make sure you understand the reasoning behind our recommendations. Questions are always welcome — during sessions and between them. Each client receives direct access to the advisor handling their matter, so there is no need to navigate through layers of assistants or intermediaries.
Honest Value for Your Investment
Our services are priced to reflect the scope and quality of the work — not to generate maximum billable hours. Each package includes all sessions, written deliverables, and any template documents relevant to the engagement. There are no add-on fees for email follow-ups or brief clarifications after the engagement concludes. When you choose Lanna Shield, you know exactly what you are paying for and what you will receive.
Practical, Actionable Outcomes
The measure of good advisory is whether you can act on it. Our deliverables are written with that standard in mind — clear recommendations, step-by-step process outlines, and compliance checklists that you can implement directly. We do not provide advice that sits unread on a shelf. Clients leave each engagement with a concrete understanding of their legal position and a documented plan for next steps.

What Makes Lanna Shield Distinctive
Structured Advisory Methodology
Each service follows a documented process: initial assessment, analysis, session delivery, and written output. This structured approach means nothing falls through the cracks and you always know where you stand in the engagement.
Industry-Adapted Templates
Our employment law package includes template documents and checklists adapted specifically to your industry sector — not generic one-size-fits-all forms downloaded from the internet.
Multi-Jurisdiction Compliance Guides
For cross-border engagements, we deliver a tailored compliance guide covering your specific operational footprint — not a general overview, but a document that reflects the markets where you actually do business.
Post-Engagement Accessibility
After an engagement concludes, we remain accessible for brief follow-up clarifications at no additional cost. Legal situations evolve, and we understand that occasional questions arise after delivery.
