Why Dul Legal
What a Focused Pension Practice Offers
When a firm works only in pension law, the differences in how it operates become apparent quite quickly. Here is what that means in practice for you.
Core Advantages
Six Things That Make a Difference
Pension-Only Expertise
Our work covers only pension-related legal matters. That single-subject focus produces a deeper working knowledge of the relevant frameworks than a general legal practice maintains.
Language You Can Follow
We translate legal positions into plain, clear English at every stage. You should never leave a meeting or read a letter from us feeling more confused than before.
No Pressure on Next Steps
We present options and their implications honestly. The decision about whether — and how — to proceed always rests with you. We do not treat client hesitation as something to overcome.
Clear, Fixed Pricing
Three service tiers with stated prices. No open-ended billing structures. You know what you are paying before any work begins, and scope changes are discussed and agreed in writing.
Bangkok-Based, Remotely Accessible
Located in central Bangkok for those who prefer in-person contact, while all three service tiers are fully available by video call or telephone for clients elsewhere in Thailand or abroad.
A Pace That Suits You
Pension matters often involve documents, memories, and emotions that take time to work through. We do not push for quick decisions and we do not set artificial deadlines.
In More Detail
Each Advantage, Explained
Professional Expertise
Pension law in Thailand draws together the Social Security Act, the Private School Teacher Welfare Fund Act, provident fund regulations, the Government Pension Fund Act, and relevant international frameworks for clients with cross-border arrangements. A firm that handles many areas of law cannot reasonably maintain current working knowledge across all of them. At Dul Legal, pension law is not one of our practice areas — it is the only one.
- Detailed knowledge of Thai pension regulatory frameworks
- Familiarity with Social Security Office claim procedures
- Experience with cross-border pension entitlement questions
Clear Process
From the first enquiry, we follow a defined process: understand the situation, explain the options, agree on scope in writing, then carry out the work with regular updates. At no stage should you be uncertain about where things stand or what is happening next.
- Written scope agreement before work begins
- Regular, plain-language progress updates
- Transparent record of all correspondence
Client Service
We work with a small number of clients at any one time. That is a deliberate choice. It means enquiries receive a prompt response, consultations are genuinely unhurried, and every matter receives adequate attention throughout its duration. You will not be passed between team members without a proper handover.
- Consistent point of contact throughout your matter
- Prompt responses to messages and enquiries
- Remote access available for all services
Value and Pricing
Three services, three stated prices: ฿1,800 for an Initial Consultation, ฿5,800 for Claim Preparation and Representation, and ฿9,700 for Comprehensive Pension Matter Support. No hourly billing that accumulates unpredictably. No charges for the first enquiry. The price reflects the work, and the work is explained before it begins.
- Fixed-price services with no hidden additions
- No charge for initial enquiries
- Written scope agreement protects against cost creep
Outcomes and Results
We are careful about claims regarding outcomes. The results of a pension matter depend on circumstances, authority decisions, and many factors outside any adviser's control. What we can say is that our work is thorough, our documentation careful, and that we present your position as clearly and completely as the situation allows.
- Meticulous preparation of claims and supporting documents
- Honest assessment of prospects at the outset
- Clear explanation if a matter develops in an unexpected direction

What Sets Us Apart
Distinctive Aspects of How We Work
Single-Subject Practice
Pension law is not a department at Dul Legal — it is the whole firm. We do not take enquiries outside this area, which means our attention, reading, and professional development all stay pointed in one direction.
Scope Agreements in Writing
Before undertaking any service beyond an initial consultation, we put the scope in writing. This protects you from work expanding beyond what was discussed, and it holds us accountable to what we agreed.
Unhurried Consultations
We do not cut a consultation short to fit a billing schedule. The session takes as long as it needs to. If you have questions that arise after the meeting, we welcome a follow-up message before you decide anything.
Cross-Border Pension Familiarity
Many of our clients have pension interests that span more than one country — from prior employment abroad or foreign nationals working in Thailand. We are familiar with the additional complexity this introduces.
