What Specialised Pension
Counsel Provides
The difference between a general practice handling a pension matter and a firm that works exclusively in this area is not merely familiarity — it is the structured attention that each file receives at every stage.

Six Reasons Clients Work With Khantha Law
Each of the following reflects how this practice operates day-to-day — not what we aspire to, but what clients experience.
Pension Law Only
This is the entirety of our practice. Clients are not being served by a department of a general firm where pension work competes for attention with other matters.
Written Advice at Each Stage
Every substantive step is documented in writing. Clients do not need to reconstruct advice from memory when making decisions about their matter.
Honest Assessment
We say clearly when a matter has limited prospect and when circumstances change. Clients are not kept engaged in proceedings that do not serve their interests.
Fixed Fees for Most Services
Documentation preparation and survivor claim work are priced at fixed amounts. For dispute representation, costs are structured with milestones and agreed checkpoints.
One Practitioner Per File
A single qualified practitioner takes responsibility for each matter. Clients are not rotated between staff or asked to repeat the background of their situation.
Client-Paced Process
Particularly in survivor and family matters, the pace of the work adjusts to what the client can manage — not to an internal scheduling target.
In Detail
What Each Benefit Means in Practice
Expertise Benefit: Dedicated Pension Practice
Pension law in Thailand involves an intersection of social insurance legislation, administrative procedure, and civil litigation that most generalist practitioners encounter infrequently. Working with a firm whose entire practice sits within that intersection means the practitioner handling your file does not need to familiarise themselves with the relevant authority's procedures, the applicable regulatory framework, or the typical grounds for administrative challenge — they already know it.
- Knowledge of Social Security Office and GPF procedures
- Familiarity with common grounds for claim denial and challenge
- Understanding of how documentary requirements vary by claim type
Process Benefit: Structured and Documented at Every Stage
Each engagement begins with a clear scope of work. Substantive advice, procedural updates, and changes in circumstances are put in writing. For extended disputes, there is a formal review at each milestone — the case is reassessed, and that reassessment is shared with the client before any further steps are taken. This structure is not procedural formality; it is what allows clients to make properly informed decisions throughout.
- Written scope of work at engagement commencement
- Substantive advice documented, not communicated verbally only
- Formal case reviews at each procedural milestone
Service Benefit: Communication Adapted to Each Client
Some clients are most comfortable receiving detailed written summaries; others prefer concise updates at key points. Where a matter involves a surviving family member in difficult circumstances, the pace and format of communication reflects that. We do not operate a single contact model — the approach adjusts to what is most useful and least burdensome for the individual.
Value Benefit: Transparent and Predictable Fees
Documentation preparation is priced at ฿4,200. Survivor claim assistance is ฿16,800. Dispute representation is ฿33,200, with defined milestones. These amounts are stated before any commitment is made. If the scope of a matter changes materially, the client is informed and fees are agreed before additional work proceeds. There are no billing surprises at the conclusion of a file.
Results Benefit: Preparing the Best Possible File
We cannot determine the outcome of an administrative decision. What we can do is ensure that the file submitted is as complete, well-ordered, and clearly presented as possible — which materially affects both the likelihood of a favourable first decision and the strength of any challenge to an adverse one. The quality of the documentary record at the outset has a long reach.

What Sets Us Apart
Distinctive Features of This Practice
Documentary Methodology
Our file preparation follows a structured methodology developed over years of pension submissions. Each file is reviewed against a checklist specific to the claim type before submission — reducing the back-and-forth that often delays standard applications.
Sensitivity in Family Matters
Survivor claims involve families dealing with loss alongside complex administrative requirements. We conduct initial consultations at the family's pace and are attentive to what can reasonably be asked of clients in those circumstances.
Plain Language as Standard
Legal terminology is used where it has precise meaning. Elsewhere, we write and speak in plain English. Thai-language documents are translated into accessible summaries for client review before any signature or submission.
Re-assessment at Each Decision Point
Pension disputes are not linear. At each procedural milestone in a dispute, we formally revisit our assessment and present it to the client — including when our view of the realistic range of outcomes has changed.
