Mackenzie Smith Law - Employment & Labor Disputes

Mackenzie Smith Law’s employment lawyers have detailed knowledge of the employment laws of Thailand. The employment law team are frequently engaged by foreign nationals and companies in Thailand to resolve employment disputes concerning international teachers, corporate managers and senior corporate executives.

Once instructed, MSL’s employment specialists are quick to act and seek, wherever possible, to settle the matter before the issue of formal proceedings to Thai Labor Court becomes necessary, often by the use of Compromise Agreements. Compromise Agreements are commonly used to settle senior executive level disputes in Thailand.

The range of contentious matters undertaken by MSL’s employment lawyers includes unfair dismissal, sex, race and disability discrimination, equal pay, unlawful deductions, wrongful dismissal, industrial disputes, union recognition, and the enforcement of post termination of employment restrictive covenants.
