Police investigations
Advice and representation during complaints, interviews, investigations and other dealings with the police, including urgent guidance before a formal charge is brought.
Criminal defence
We provide clear advice, careful preparation and decisive representation from the earliest stage of an investigation through bail, trial and appeal.
Early advice matters
A criminal allegation can place a person's liberty, reputation, livelihood and family under immediate pressure. The legal questions are important, but so are the practical decisions made in the first hours and days.
SB Law Asia represents Thai and international clients in criminal matters throughout Thailand. We listen carefully, explain the process in plain language and develop a strategy based on the evidence, the available legal options and what matters most to the client.

Our approach
We begin by establishing what has happened, what evidence exists and what immediate action is required. We then identify the legal and practical options, explain the risks candidly and prepare each stage of the matter with care.
Where a case also involves family, employment, property, business or immigration consequences, we consider those wider effects when advising on strategy. The objective is not merely to respond to the accusation, but to protect the client's position as fully and intelligently as circumstances permit.
