Sebastien Brousseau

I’m Sébastien, a French-Canadian lawyer from Quebec who has called Thailand home since 2004. After more than two decades here, I’ve developed a deep understanding of Thai culture and legal systems, especially when it comes to helping expatriates navigate family law, property issues, and civil or criminal matters. I now lead a team of experienced Thai lawyers through ThaiLawOnline.com, where we focus on making legal services clear, accessible, and affordable.

Over the years, I’ve written extensively on topics that matter most to foreigners in Thailand. One of the more common questions we get is how a foreigner can protect their interest in a property owned by a Thai spouse. That’s why I recommend reading our guide on usufruct agreements in Thailand—a practical tool that can help safeguard your rights while respecting Thai law.

Another sensitive but growing area of law is surrogacy. Thailand has very specific regulations in place, and we make sure intended parents understand both the legal and emotional aspects of the process. If you’re considering this path, our article on surrogacy laws in Thailand is a good place to start.

Like you, I’ve faced moments of uncertainty in a country that’s not my birthplace. My goal is to make the legal landscape in Thailand easier to understand and less intimidating, so you can focus on building a life here with confidence.
