The National Innovation Agency (Public Organization) – NIA reaffirmed its mission to foster and support national innovation by granting funding to Legal Advance Solution Co., Ltd. (LAS) for the development of a groundbreaking project entitled “AI-Powered Legal Research System.”

The funding approval was formally announced with the participation of key LAS executives and advisors: Dr. Thundthornthep Yamoutai, Managing Director; Ms. Nanthanat Saengthong, Corporate and Commercial Partner; Ms. Sayapit Palanukulwong, Legal Manager; and Mr. Janechot Sripornprasert, AI Innovation Advisor. Together, they will spearhead the initiative to integrate artificial intelligence into Thailand’s legal service ecosystem.

This innovative project aims to harness artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance the efficiency and accessibility of legal services in Thailand. Central to the initiative is the creation of a powerful tool designed to support young lawyers and law students, equipping them with advanced digital capabilities for legal research and practice.

The AI system will serve as a “Digital Research Assistant” (Digital Employee or AI Agent), capable of:

• Conducting comprehensive searches of legal provisions

• Retrieving Supreme Court judgments

• Identifying relevant case precedents with precision and speed

These functions represent a cornerstone of legal education and practice, significantly reducing research time while familiarizing students and future practitioners with legal technology (Legal Tech). The project, developed under the concept of “LAS Intelligence,” is designed to prepare the next generation of lawyers to leverage digital tools for enhanced professional performance.

Beyond its immediate benefits to legal professionals, the AI system developed by LAS will serve as a comprehensive legal information resource built by an experienced team of legal experts. The platform is envisioned to support law students, academics, SMEs, and the general public, democratizing access to legal knowledge and strengthening Thailand’s legal infrastructure.
