Dobson & Partners – Legal and Advisory Practice

This is to confirm the sterling, thorough and in-depth support Dobson & Partners have demonstrated in the JV negotiations with a large sovereign fund as well as with the acquisition and negotiations of two resorts in Thailand and Indonesia.
I've known Tim for the past 10 years and developed a sincere appreciation for his professional competencies, his successful interaction with our clients, his diligence and far reaching advice in all legal matters. I trust his judgement and insights and they've supported our company and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

I have known Tim for over 25 years. During that time, we worked on several deals involving many of his specialty areas, both where Paragon has been the principal, and where we worked together for clients. In all cases, we found Tim to be very commercial, practical, pragmatic, with a clear understanding of the end game. We consider Tim a partner, and would recommend him to any client involved in hospitality, real estate, franchising transactions or negotiations, or in the process of arranging financing.

"Tim Dobson is one of the most solution-driven lawyers practicing in Bangkok and Hong Kong that played an instrumental part in the growth of our property business in Bangkok.

He often renders legal advice that results in viable outcomes for all parties in corporate deals in the property sector in which our business is rooted."

“I have worked with Tim on various deals over the last 11 years. Tim is indeed an excellent legal counsel providing exceptional legal advice and drafting for commercial agreements.

What sets Tim apart is his ability to step back from a legal mindset, and take on a commercial view; making a strong ally in deal making."

“Tim Dobson has provided us over the years with an affordable fast service with consistently clear and concise advice and draft documentation. Tim’s commercial judgement and his knowledge of business law are impressive and he is a skilled and experienced negotiator. His expertise in hospitality documentation and brand licensing have been particularly valuable to our business. Overall Dobson & Partners are extremely good value for money !”

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Tim on many hospitality developments in Thailand, both when he was on our team as well as when he is representing others…I have always found Tim to be very knowledgeable in hospitality, real estates and corporate legal matters… but more importantly… it’s his straightforwardness, patient with solution-driven attitude that was really the key in helping us reach agreeable resolutions.”

I have worked with Tim on multiple complex cross-border transactions including a Management Buyout of a Thailand-based B2B automotive auction business, disposition of multiple international subsidiaries of a business services client, and the sale of a Thailand-based distribution business. All the transactions involved private equity investors and cross border structuring to comply with regulatory matters and optimize client returns. Tim is quite fast, commercial, responsive, and great value. It was a pleasure working with him and I look forward to doing so again.
