Bangkok, Thailand – January 09, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

Siam Legal International, a full-service law firm in Thailand with over 22 years of experience serving local and international clients throughout Thailand, has announced a series of strategic leadership promotions and operational developments effective January 1, 2026. The comprehensive restructuring initiative strengthens the firm’s governance framework, expands advisory capacity, and enhances client service delivery across all practice areas.

The Bangkok-based firm has promoted Chiara Budelli to Partner with oversight responsibilities for the newly expanded Corporate and Tax Advisory section. The tax section will now operate under this integrated structure to provide more comprehensive advisory services. Additionally, Mikkel Karlsen has been promoted to Legal Service Manager with responsibility for client management across all legal service offerings, while Mary Jean Kuda advances to Legal Service Supervisor, supporting coordination and oversight of client handling within the legal services team.

In response to Thailand’s evolving regulatory landscape, Siam Legal International has appointed Jennifer Findlater as PDPA Officer, serving as Data Protection Officer under Thailand’s Personal Data Protection Act. This appointment underscores the firm’s commitment to maintaining regulatory compliance and protecting client data. The firm has also appointed Nisarat Suriyanang as Head of the Family Law and International Law sections, a move designed to support the firm’s growing cross-border and personal legal practice.

“These leadership appointments reflect our strategic vision for sustainable growth while maintaining the highest standards of legal service delivery,” said Rex Baay, speaking on behalf of Siam Legal International. “Our expanded leadership team brings deep expertise across corporate law, tax advisory, data protection, and international family law, positioning us to better serve the complex needs of both individual and corporate clients operating in Thailand’s dynamic legal environment.”

The leadership restructuring coincides with significant infrastructure investments. Siam Legal International is securing a new, larger office space as part of its 2026 growth plans, featuring enhanced client accounting capabilities to support internal controls and advisory services. The firm has also implemented improved secure file storage systems to strengthen data protection and operational integrity. Additionally, the firm is developing a supervised internship program in collaboration with a local university to support legal training and professional development.

These strategic initiatives align with Thailand’s evolving legal and regulatory environment, particularly in areas of data protection, corporate compliance, and cross-border transactions. The expanded capabilities position Siam Legal International to serve corporate clients seeking integrated legal, tax, and compliance advisory services, international families requiring family law and cross-border legal support, and businesses navigating PDPA compliance requirements.

Siam Legal International maintains offices and representatives throughout Thailand, including in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Pattaya, and Phuket. The firm’s practice areas encompass corporate law, business registration, immigration and visa services, property transactions, family law, litigation, and regulatory compliance. With a team of British-American professionals and skilled Thai lawyers, the firm has established itself as a trusted advisor for complex legal matters requiring both local expertise and an international perspective.
