Dedicated to facilitating successful M&A transactions across Thailand
Confluvio was established to provide specialized legal advisory for mergers and acquisitions in Thailand's evolving business environment. Our practice focuses on supporting both domestic and cross-border transactions, serving strategic buyers, private equity investors, and corporate sellers navigating complex deal structures.
The firm's approach combines technical legal expertise with a practical understanding of transaction dynamics. We recognize that each M&A engagement presents distinct challenges, from initial target evaluation through post-closing integration. Our role is to identify material legal issues, structure appropriate risk allocation frameworks, and facilitate efficient transaction execution.
Our team has developed particular experience in transactions involving Thai corporate entities, including share acquisitions under the Civil and Commercial Code, asset transfers, and corporate amalgamations. We regularly advise on cross-border deal structures that require coordination between Thai law requirements and foreign legal frameworks.
The firm maintains relationships with regulatory authorities, industry specialists, and professional advisors across relevant sectors. This network enables us to address sector-specific considerations, coordinate multi-jurisdictional transactions, and provide clients with integrated advisory support throughout the deal lifecycle.

Areas of Focus
Our practice encompasses key aspects of M&A legal advisory
The firm has developed focused expertise across core elements of M&A transactions in Thailand. Our due diligence practice covers comprehensive legal review of target companies, including corporate structure validation, material contract analysis, employment law compliance assessment, intellectual property verification, and litigation exposure evaluation. We structure due diligence engagements to align with transaction timelines while identifying material risks requiring negotiation attention or purchase price adjustment.
In transaction structuring and documentation, we advise on appropriate deal structures considering tax implications, regulatory requirements, and financing arrangements. This includes preparation of share purchase agreements, asset transfer agreements, disclosure schedules, and ancillary transaction documents. Our documentation approach balances protection of client interests with commercial reasonableness to facilitate transaction completion.
For regulatory aspects of M&A transactions, we coordinate filings with the Office of Trade Competition Commission for transactions meeting notification thresholds under the Trade Competition Act. We also handle sector-specific regulatory approvals for transactions in regulated industries and address foreign business law considerations for transactions involving foreign investors or restricted business activities.
Post-closing integration support addresses the legal aspects of combining acquired businesses into existing operations. This includes corporate restructuring filings, employment transition documentation, contract novation coordination, and establishment of governance structures for the combined entity. Our integration support helps clients navigate the administrative and compliance requirements that follow transaction closing.
