Feedback from organizations that have worked with Confluvio
Anukul Pattanapong
CFO, Bangkok
The team handled our manufacturing facility acquisition with clear communication throughout the due diligence phase. Their report identified several contract issues we hadn't considered, which helped us negotiate better terms. Appreciated their practical approach to addressing the findings rather than just listing concerns.

We engaged Confluvio for transaction documentation on a technology company acquisition. The purchase agreement was well-structured with appropriate warranties given the sector. The regulatory coordination for foreign business approval worked smoothly. Would have preferred more proactive updates during the approval waiting period, but overall satisfied with the outcome.

Confluvio supported our hospitality business sale with both documentation and integration advisory. The legal team understood the sector-specific considerations around land leases and licensing transfers. Their post-closing support helped navigate the ownership transition requirements efficiently. The fee arrangement was transparent and aligned with the quoted estimate.

Narumon Khammuan
CEO, Bangkok
We retained Confluvio for due diligence on a retail chain acquisition. The team identified IP ownership issues that weren't apparent in the data room materials. This discovery led to significant purchase price adjustments. Their risk assessment framework helped us make an informed decision about proceeding with appropriate protections in place.

Operations Director, Samut Prakan
Engaged for post-merger integration after our company was acquired. The team coordinated the corporate restructuring filings and employment transitions competently. Documentation was clear and the timeline kept us on track. Integration proceeded without major compliance issues, which was our primary concern going in.

The legal advisory for our distribution network merger was handled professionally. Confluvio coordinated the competition law filing efficiently and their documentation approach balanced our concerns about liability exposure with the seller's willingness to provide representations. Senior partner remained accessible throughout the negotiation phases.
