Explore corporate and investment matters, commercial disputes, employment, immigration, property and family law.

For matters involving Vietnam and another country, start with a clear assessment of the applicable procedure and your priorities.
Enterprise 25/09/2023
A share transfer changes ownership in a joint-stock company, but the signed transfer contract is only part of the transaction. Restrictions, payment, shareholder records and regulatory filings should be addressed together. Review the share class, founding-shareholder status, charter and any shareholder agreement. Public-company and securities rules may add requirements. A foreign buyer should assess market access and investment approval issues before assuming that a freely transferable share is unrestricted in every respect.
Enterprise 15/11/2025
Understand employment contract types in Vietnam, essential terms, probation, renewal risks and practical contract review for foreign employers. Contract terms should reflect the actual role, compensation, working arrangements and applicable employment protections. Review confidentiality, termination and work authorization together with the supporting HR policies.
Enterprise 22/01/2026
Review shareholder dispute risks in Vietnamese companies, from capital and voting rights to governance documents, negotiation and formal proceedings. Collect the charter, ownership records, approvals and correspondence before taking unilateral action. A clear assessment of authority and dispute clauses can help preserve operations while the parties consider settlement or legal remedies.
Enterprise 31/10/2023
An enterprise's legal representative acts for the company in legal and commercial matters. The role should be understood through the company's legal form, charter, registration and allocation of powers rather than the job title alone. Where there is more than one representative, the company should review how their rights and responsibilities are divided. Signing authority, internal approval and authority to participate in proceedings are related but distinct questions. Counterparties should verify the relevant authority before relying on a signature.
Foreigners 12/09/2023
A foreign worker should not assume that a senior title, short assignment or intra-company transfer automatically removes the need for a work permit. Eligibility depends on the applicable exemption and the facts of the proposed work. Review the employer, position, location, assignment period and evidence supporting the claimed category. Some situations require confirmation or notification even when a permit is not required. A contract describing a person as exempt is not a substitute for the applicable legal conditions.
Foreigners 16/10/2023
Un client francophone a besoin d’une analyse liée aux faits et à la procédure applicable au Vietnam. Préparez un résumé, les documents complets, les notifications et les échéances. Clarifiez la langue de travail, les traductions, les livrables, les honoraires et le rôle de chaque intervenant avant de confier une consultation, une rédaction ou une représentation.
Foreigners 16/03/2026
Find practical guidance on English-speaking lawyers in Vietnam, available legal services, fee transparency and preparation for foreign clients. Compare relevant expertise and communication rather than relying on broad marketing claims. Prepare the documents, deadlines and desired outcome so counsel can propose a suitable scope and explain realistic procedural options.
Foreigners 12/11/2024
Foreign nationals may remain in Vietnam under different lawful immigration arrangements. A temporary residence card is one possible document, but its availability depends on the relevant category and evidence. Review employment, investment, family or other circumstances alongside the passport and current permission. The existence of a company shareholding or a family connection should not be turned into a universal eligibility rule. Check the current requirements for the exact category.
Dispute 03/04/2026
Compare dispute resolution support in Vietnam for foreign clients, covering forum selection, evidence, negotiation, representation and enforcement planning. A dispute strategy should connect the contract, available proof, deadlines and debtor assets. Evaluate the limits of each route and avoid assuming that an award or judgment guarantees recovery.
Dispute 07/08/2023
Some individual labour disputes are exempt from the usual requirement for prior labour mediation. Identifying the type of claim and applicable time limit is essential before deciding how and where to file. The article distinguishes an exemption from mediation from the wider requirements for a valid lawsuit. Employment documents, the challenged decision and the remedy requested should be reviewed together before proceedings begin.
Dispute 19/09/2026
Organize evidence before dispute proceedings in Vietnam, including contracts, electronic communications, losses, authority records and procedural review. Link each record to the facts that need proof instead of submitting an unstructured archive. Early review helps protect originals, identify missing materials and compare settlement, arbitration and court options.
Dispute 24/04/2024
A proposed transfer within a housing project requires more than a site visit and a deposit agreement. The buyer should assess the project's legal status and whether the specific transfer can proceed. Request relevant land and project documents, planning information and evidence concerning infrastructure and financial obligations. Identify the investor and any agent's authority. An advertisement for a plot does not establish that the particular transaction is legally available.
Divorce 22/05/2026
Assess when a foreigner may need unilateral divorce in Vietnam, including court jurisdiction, an uncooperative spouse, documents and contested issues. Prepare the marriage records, address evidence and requested relief before filing. The other spouse's refusal does not decide jurisdiction, and cross-border service or child-related disputes can affect procedural planning.
Divorce 13/08/2022
Consensual divorce depends on genuine agreement and workable arrangements that protect the legitimate interests of the wife and children. A signed application alone does not end the marriage: the competent court must review the request and issue the appropriate decision. The discussion separates legal requirements from practical preparation and identifies the issues to clarify before taking the next step. It explains why the documents, degree of agreement and specific relief requested should guide the approach rather than a general promise about timing or outcome.
Divorce 01/11/2025
A foreign spouse's refusal to communicate does not remove the need for lawful procedure. A case involving absence requires careful attention to jurisdiction, service and the conditions under which proceedings can continue. Document the spouse's current or last known address, residence history and attempts to communicate. Explain any uncertainty rather than supplying an address known to be inaccurate. The court's assessment of notification and participation cannot be replaced by an informal message between the spouses.
Divorce 07/08/2023
A child custody dispute involving another country requires careful consideration of the child's welfare, existing orders, residence and any proposed relocation. An overseas element does not create a single automatic route for every family. The discussion explains why the countries involved and the available procedures must be checked individually. It avoids assuming that an international convention applies or that a foreign order can be enforced without further review.
Investment 20/11/2023
An investment project registration should explain the project accurately rather than simply reproduce a generic business plan. Activities, location, funding and implementation schedule need to be consistent across the supporting documents. Describe what the project will do, who will implement it and how it will be funded. Review market access, land or premises and any related approvals. Confirm the applicable procedure under the current investment framework instead of assuming every project requires identical registration.
Investment 20/11/2023
Foreign direct investment involves a lasting participation in a business or project abroad. For a Vietnam investment, the practical legal questions concern the proposed structure, activities, funding and degree of control. A new enterprise, share acquisition and contractual cooperation can allocate control and risk differently. Evaluate the investor's objectives alongside market-access conditions and sector rules. The economic description of FDI does not establish a universal ownership percentage or licence requirement.
Investment 10/10/2023
Foreign investment registration should follow a clear understanding of the project. A new company, an acquisition and a cooperation arrangement do not necessarily use the same procedure or approval sequence. Define the activities, location, capital, ownership and implementation plan. Review market-access conditions and whether investment-policy approval, project registration or an acquisition procedure applies. Avoid relying on an old ownership percentage as a universal test for every transaction.
Investment 22/09/2023
A foreign investor may contribute to a new enterprise or invest in an existing company. These are different transactions, and they should not be forced into a single sequence of obtaining certificates and transferring funds. Identify whether the proposal is a subscription for new capital, a purchase from an existing owner or an asset contribution. Review foreign ownership conditions, the target's activities and the required corporate approvals. The legal form of the company alone does not determine all capital requirements.
