Mahanakorn Partners Group (MPG) is not just celebrating a milestone; they’re celebrating an epic journey of 25 years in legal and advisory services, illustrating an unwavering commitment to excellence. Flashback to 1999, when the firm was birthed as Vimami Consulting in the picturesque locales of Phuket and Bangkok. Today, MPG stands as a towering global presence, catering to the needs of both expatriates and Thai citizens with finesse.
A Journey of Dedication and Growth
From the outset, Vimami Consulting carved a niche for itself as a beacon of reliability, offering top-notch legal services in both English and German. What started as a modest firm quickly morphed into a powerhouse, thanks to their unyielding dedication to client satisfaction. Their reputation skyrocketed, drawing the attention of embassies and consulates which, entrusting in their expertise, began referring expatriates embroiled in commercial, family, or criminal entanglements.
As clientele needs evolved, so did Vimami. By 2002, they launched VM Management, a real estate arm that would eventually mature into MPG Property Management. Fast-forward to the early 2020s, MPG solidified its fame as a dynamic, client-centric firm, offering a suite of services from property management to real estate brokerage across Thailand.
A Trusted Leader in Times of Crisis
A defining chapter in MPG’s illustrious history unfolded in 2004, in the wake of the catastrophic Indian Ocean Tsunami. Amidst the chaos, the Swiss Embassy assigned Vimami as its temporary representative, tasked with aiding its distressed citizens. This poignant moment showcased MPG’s credibility and unwavering resolve, earning it a distinguished spot as a trusted adviser within the international community during times of profound crisis.
Expanding Expertise and Services
The decade that followed saw Vimami breaking new grounds, branching out to encompass accounting and auditing services. The enthusiastic recommendations from a growing pool of satisfied clients catapulted the firm into new realms. In a strategic reorganization in 2016, the firm proudly emerged as Mahanakorn Partners Group (MPG), a moniker now synonymous with excellence, and formed four specialized corporate divisions. The legacy of Vimami lives on as a vital part of one of MPG’s member companies, a nod to their remarkable beginnings.
Global Recognition and Media Spotlight
MPG’s 25-year trek has not gone unnoticed. Their stellar achievements in law, finance, and advisory services have been spotlighted by global giants like The New York Times, which twice sought MPG’s insights on the legal nuances of investing in Thailand’s property sector. Not one to shy away from the spotlight, MPG Chairman Luca Bernardinetti has graced the screens on the BBC’s World Business Report numerous times, delivering expert analyses on global business, economics, and finance trends. Such continual media presence underscores MPG’s stature as a respected authority in their field.
Hosting events that garner international attention is another feather in MPG’s cap. Prestigious news platforms like CNN and Bloomberg, along with industry heavyweights like the Emerging Markets Private Equity Association (EMPEA) and Chambers of Commerce worldwide, have all trained their lenses on MPG’s initiatives, further cementing their influence.
Looking to the Future
Today, MPG’s headquarters in Bangkok vibrates with the energy of a dedicated team of seasoned lawyers, chartered accountants, auditors, and international business consultants. Their unwavering dedication continues to drive the firm’s phenomenal success. Recognized and recommended by nearly every embassy and chamber of commerce in Thailand, MPG’s future blazes bright as they perpetuate their legacy of excellence.
As Mahanakorn Partners Group revels in their 25-year journey marked by dedication, growth, and global acclaim, they hold steadfast to the same integrity and innovative spirit that has defined their path thus far. Here’s to the next quarter-century of breaking boundaries and setting new standards of excellence!

Congratulations to MPG on their 25 years of service! It’s amazing to see how they’ve grown from a small firm to a global powerhouse. Their commitment to excellence is truly commendable.
Totally agree, Alex! It’s incredible how they’ve managed to expand their services so widely. I especially admire their work during the tsunami crisis.
While their growth is impressive, let’s not ignore the fact that they’re still just a corporation benefiting from crises.
Every business benefits from certain situations, David. What’s important is how they used their expertise to genuinely help people during the crisis.
This sounds like another PR piece. Does anyone remember any controversy around them, like conflicts of interest when they were representing different parties?
I’m not aware of any major controversies, but it’s always wise to be cautious. Every law firm has skeletons in the closet.
Their property management division has really helped me with my investments in Thailand. MPG knows their stuff!
I’ve heard mixed reviews about their real estate services. Can you share more about your experience, Emma?
Sure, Michael. They’ve been very professional and responsive. My investments have been well-managed, and the returns are solid. No complaints so far!
While their achievements in property and law are notable, I think MPG’s real success is in how they handle expatriate needs.
What about their fees? Are they reasonable or overpriced for the level of service they offer?
I’ve found them a bit on the expensive side, but you get what you pay for. Quality doesn’t come cheap.
I agree with Tom. If you want top-notch service, you’ll have to shell out some extra cash. For me, it’s been worth it.
Thanks for the insights, Tom and Anna. Quality isn’t cheap, but I’m still on the fence about whether it’s worth it.
Their rebranding to Mahanakorn Partners Group was a smart move. It’s more professional and has a global appeal.
MPG’s focus on aiding people during the tsunami must have been life-changing for many. Kudos to them for stepping up in such a tough situation.
Absolutely, Jessica. Their role during the tsunami was truly humanitarian. More firms should have such a commitment to crisis management.
Investing through MPG has been a mixed bag for me. Some ventures were goldmines, while others not so much.
It’s the nature of investment, Larry. I’m curious, what areas did you see the most success with MPG?
Olivia, their property investments were great for me, but the financial advisory services fell below expectations.
Do you think they genuinely care about expatriates or are they just cashing in on a lucrative market?
Sophia, having used their services extensively, I believe they genuinely care. Their team has been incredibly supportive.
One thing’s for sure, they’ve mastered the art of self-promotion. Even the New York Times and CNN seem to buy into their narrative.
Self-promotion or not, they’ve earned their spot in the limelight by delivering results. Media coverage is a reflection of their impact.
I wonder how much of their success can be attributed to good PR versus actual quality service.
MPG’s growth journey is inspiring. It shows what’s possible with dedication and a strong vision.
Legal firms often get a bad rap, but it looks like MPG is doing quite well in balancing professionalism with genuine client care.
Given all the praise, it’s hard to believe there haven’t been any major scandals. Can we really trust all the glowing reviews?
From representing distressed citizens during the tsunami to today, MPG has really evolved. I’m glad to see businesses stepping up in times of need.
