Why Choose Us
A Focused Practice That Works in Your Interest
Pension legal support that is direct, unhurried, and built around what you actually need — not around what is easiest to deliver.
Back to HomeWhat Clients Find Valuable About Working With Us
Six qualities that consistently appear when clients describe what made a difference during their pension matter.
Exclusive Pension Focus
We do not handle divorce, property, or criminal matters. Pension entitlements are the entirety of our practice — so this is where our knowledge runs deepest.
A Single Adviser Throughout
Your case is not divided between a senior adviser and a junior assistant. One person manages your matter from first consultation to conclusion.
Written Summaries at Every Stage
After each consultation and at each significant development, you receive a written summary. You always have a clear record of where things stand.
Transparent, Stated Fees
Our service fees are disclosed before engagement begins. Disbursements are discussed before they arise. You will not encounter charges that were not discussed in advance.
Knowledge of Thai Pension Systems
Social Security Fund rules, private provident fund regulations, and employer scheme law are all distinct areas. We understand the differences and know which framework applies to your situation.
Strict Client Confidentiality
Every enquiry and case file is handled under a formal confidentiality protocol. Nothing is shared without explicit consent. Our record in this regard is unblemished.
Expertise Concentrated Where It Counts
Many legal practitioners handle a broad range of matters — property disputes one week, family law the next. Naga Counsel's advisers have spent their careers in Thai employment and social security law, narrowing their focus over time to pension matters specifically. This concentration means that we have encountered — and navigated — the range of scenarios that arise in this field.
When a pension claim involves documents from an employer that closed ten years ago, or a Social Security Fund record with gaps, we have worked through situations like these before. That history informs how we approach your matter.
What This Means in Practice
- Familiarity with Social Security Office processes and common filing issues
- Understanding of how private provident fund disputes are typically handled
- Experience with employer scheme terms and the language commonly used in fund agreements
- Awareness of how to address common objections and delays from funds
How Our Process Differs
- Initial review of all documents before any engagement fee is discussed
- Written consultation summary provided after the first session
- Submission drafts reviewed by the client before they are filed
- Updates provided at each meaningful stage — no unexplained silence
A Process That Keeps You Informed
One common experience people report with legal matters is not knowing what is happening. A case is submitted, weeks pass, and no word arrives until something is needed from the client. Naga Counsel's process is structured to prevent that pattern.
We set out a clear path at the start of each engagement, identify the points where updates will be issued, and follow through. If something unexpected arises — a delay from a fund, a request for additional documents — we communicate that as soon as we are aware of it.
Fees Stated Clearly From the Outset
Pension matters can involve uncertainty — in outcome, in timing, and in bureaucratic responsiveness. Our fees should not add to that uncertainty. Each service at Naga Counsel has a stated fee. Disbursements — official filing charges, translation costs, authentication fees — are discussed before they are incurred and agreed before payment is required.
Clients tell us they find this straightforwardness reassuring. Legal matters are stressful enough without wondering whether the bill will look different at the end.
Fee Transparency at Naga Counsel
- All service fees disclosed before engagement begins
- Disbursements discussed before they arise, never added retroactively
- Thai Baht pricing — no currency ambiguity
- No obligation to proceed beyond initial consultation

Distinctive Features of Our Practice
Several elements of how Naga Counsel operates are not standard in the broader legal services market.
Consultation Summaries as Standard
Most legal consultations end with an oral summary. At Naga Counsel, every initial session is followed by a written summary — in plain English — that captures what was discussed, what documents were reviewed, and what the next steps are. You take that document with you, regardless of whether you proceed further.
Thailand-Specific Pension Knowledge
Thai pension law is not well-served by international legal templates. The Social Security Act, the Provident Fund Act, and employer scheme regulations operate within a specific Thai legal and bureaucratic context. Our practice has been shaped entirely within that context — we do not adapt foreign frameworks to Thailand.
No Obligation After Consultation
The Pension Clarity Consultation is complete in itself. After the session, you have a written summary of your situation and your options. There is no expectation that you will proceed to a further service, and no follow-up pressure. The decision is entirely yours.
Support for Expatriates and Thai Nationals Alike
Both Thai nationals and foreign nationals resident in Thailand who have pension entitlements within Thai jurisdiction are welcome at Naga Counsel. Consultations are conducted in English and Thai. We understand the situations specific to each group.
