The most usual question: Do I need a lawyer?
Our advice:
Listen to your common sense.
If you are starting a new life, dealing with visa, acquiring a property or planning to start a new business, what is your gut telling you?
Yes, it can be costly at start, but you do it only once and at the beginning, you should do everything properly, so you avoid problems in the future.
Let’s ask our favorite lawyer, Harvey Specter (spoiler: fictional character, not our partner), what would be his advice:
I was working as a lawyer for more than 20 years in my home country, 10 of them I was an attorney.
I can only tell you one advice, regarding using a lawyer:
Using lawyer’s services and paying for his advice is very similar to insurance. You pay for something to cover your future risks, that may or may not arise in the future.
Actually, the distinction between how the attorney and the insurance works, is that by using lawyer, you not only cover risks, you are already removing them for good at the very beginning.
I gave this advice to many clients over the years. If they didn’t want to listen, I had rephrased my advice:
“If you come to me to make a contract for you or to give you an advice before doing a business decision, I can solve 80 per cent of all your future problems related to it and you are even not aware of most of them. And it will cost you, let’s say 200 bucks.
If you do your business without consulting with me beforehand and there will be a problem, you have 20 per cent chance to solve the problem, probably you will lose the case. And it will cost you, let’s say 2.000 bucks.”
Simply said:
We all, expats working in iura Phuket, have come to Phuket some years ago and we all had many different experiences.
We all learned our lessons and they were not cheap.
Usually, most of us lost some money in the process and experienced bitter moments.
And it is the main reason why we teamed up in iura Phuket – so you do not have to repeat the same mistakes as we and many others did.
In the process, we kept working with good business partners and we split-up our ways with others. We met amazing people and when the vibe was common, we were doing business together or just got to know each other for the future.
Here in Phuket, we know lawyers, accountants, real estate agents, government people, technicians, business people, name it…
