Six things that matter when choosing pension counsel
Dedicated Specialisation
Pension defence is not a sideline for Bodhi Legal — it is the entire focus of the firm. Depth of practice in a narrow field produces better results than broad generalism.
Senior Counsel on Every File
No matter is handled solely by a junior associate. All documents and submissions are reviewed by a qualified senior counsel before they leave the office.
Plain-Language Communication
Legal proceedings generate complex correspondence. We translate it into language that is clear and useful, so clients understand their position without needing to interpret legal jargon independently.
Transparent, Fixed Service Fees
Our service tiers carry published fees. Any anticipated disbursements are disclosed in writing before they are incurred. Clients are not presented with unexpected costs.
Bangkok-Based, Proximity to Proceedings
Our office is located in Lumpini, close to the relevant regulatory bodies. This proximity matters when physical attendance, document lodgment, or follow-up is required at short notice.
Respectful Client Engagement
Pension matters carry personal significance. We engage with each client's situation — and the emotions it may involve — with consideration and without pressure.
Professional Expertise
The counsel at Bodhi Legal have a combined fifteen-plus years of practice in Thai administrative and pension law. This includes work before the Social Security Office, the Government Pension Fund, and the Administrative Court. That accumulated familiarity with the relevant procedures and decision-makers is not easily replicated by a general practice firm taking on a pension matter as an occasional instruction.

Our approach
Each matter begins with a thorough review of the client's documentation before any submission is prepared. We do not draft in haste. A carefully considered document, submitted accurately, tends to produce a more orderly process than one that requires amendment or clarification.
Process & Methodology
Our workflow for each matter follows a consistent review-then-act sequence. Documents are examined, facts are confirmed, and submissions are checked before they proceed. This methodical approach reduces the risk of procedural errors that can delay or complicate a matter's resolution.
Client Care
We limit our caseload deliberately, so each file receives the attention it needs rather than being managed at volume. Clients can reach their counsel directly — not a contact centre — and receive a substantive response within one working day. For clients abroad, video consultations are available throughout a matter.
Office hours
Monday – Friday: 9:00 – 17:30
Saturday: 10:00 – 13:00 (by appointment)
Sunday & Public Holidays: Closed
Matters in progress are monitored on working days and urgent queries are prioritised within the day.

Bodhi Legal's service fees are set at a level that reflects the quality of counsel involved while remaining accessible to individuals who may be in difficult financial circumstances as a result of their pension situation.

Distinctive Features
What you will not find elsewhere
Stand-Alone Consultation Option
The initial consultation is a complete, purchasable service — not a sales mechanism. Clients who need only an informed opinion can obtain one without being pressed toward a larger engagement.
Unhurried First Meeting
Our consultations are allocated one to two hours. Pension situations are rarely simple, and we do not apply pressure to conclude the meeting quickly. Clients leave with a genuine understanding of their position.
Full Appellate Coverage in One Engagement
The Full Defence Engagement covers the complete arc of proceedings — administrative review through to appellate work — without requiring a new retainer at each stage. Clients are not left unrepresented at a critical juncture because a new fee arrangement was not agreed in time.
Personal Data Handled Under PDPA Standards
Bodhi Legal's data handling procedures are aligned with the Personal Data Protection Act B.E. 2562. Clients' sensitive records are retained only as long as necessary for the matter and are not shared without explicit authorisation.
