Enterprise 23/09/2023
Changing charter capital is a corporate decision with consequences for ownership, finance and registration. An increase, a reduction and a transfer of an existing interest are not the same transaction. Set out the current and proposed capital, who will contribute or receive funds, the transaction method and the reason for the change. Review the charter and approval authority. Foreign investor participation may require an additional investment review rather than enterprise registration alone.
Enterprise 20/10/2026
Understand foreign arbitral award enforcement in Vietnam, including recognition conditions, documents, refusal grounds, court procedure and recovery risks. Recognition and actual recovery are separate stages. Review the arbitration record, notice evidence and debtor assets before filing, and assess applicable deadlines and objections under the law in force.
Enterprise 22/07/2023
A company's legal representative performs an important role in dealings with counterparties, authorities and courts. The company charter, appointment documents and allocation of authority should make that role clear. This guide helps owners distinguish the legal representative from an authorised delegate or external lawyer and identify the corporate records to check when appointing, replacing or temporarily delegating the role.
Enterprise 07/03/2026
Understand probation rules in Vietnam, including agreement format, duration, salary, end-of-trial decisions and practical records for both parties. Confirm the appropriate probation category and record the terms before work starts. The parties should distinguish a separate trial agreement from probation within employment and review the resulting payroll and insurance treatment.
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 16/03/2026
Learn how foreigners can choose a lawyer in Vietnam by checking professional status, relevant experience, communication, scope and fee arrangements. Ask who will handle the matter and how advice will be communicated. Review a written engagement and assess the proposed strategy on evidence and legal requirements, rather than promises of influence or guaranteed results.

中文客户在越南处理商业、房产、劳动或家庭事务时，应先核对当事人身份、公司登记信息和交易目的。请保留完整原件及已有译文，说明名称、印章或登记信息之间的差异，并整理相关沟通记录。开始工作前，应明确指示权限、工作语言、费用、交付成果和需要另行委托的事项。
Foreigners 27/05/2026
Prepare a power of attorney to appoint a lawyer in Vietnam, with guidance on scope, overseas signing, corporate authority and document requirements. Separate negotiation authority from powers to settle, withdraw claims or receive money. The form and supporting records should suit the intended recipient and procedure rather than a generic authorization template.
Dispute 26/03/2024
A business dispute can sometimes be resolved by agreement, but a formal remedy may also be necessary. Choosing a route requires attention to the contract, the dispute and the result that can realistically be implemented. Negotiation keeps the discussion with the parties, while mediation introduces a neutral facilitator. A proposed settlement should address authority to sign, payment or performance, defaults and enforcement. The legal effect of an agreement depends on its form and any available recognition procedure.
Dispute 03/07/2024
A contract dispute between Vietnamese and foreign traders requires a review of both the commercial obligations and the dispute clause. Foreign participation does not by itself establish arbitration jurisdiction. Identify the institution or ad hoc arrangement, seat, applicable rules and language. Governing law and the law relevant to the arbitration may raise separate questions. Check whether the parties and dispute fall within the agreement before submitting a claim.
Dispute 15/08/2024
International sales disputes can concern delivery, quality, payment or contract termination. The legal analysis begins with the complete agreement, the parties' places of business and the law or rules that govern the sale. Review purchase orders, specifications, delivery terms, transport records, inspection results and payment documents. Identify notices of non-conformity or default and when they were sent. A disagreement about goods should not be reduced to a general statement that a contract was breached.
Dispute 23/10/2023
Land disputes often involve a long history of use, incomplete records and competing accounts of agreements made years earlier. A legal assessment should begin with that history and the precise right in dispute. Gather certificates, allocation or transfer documents, maps, payment records and any previous settlement. Identify the actual parcel and the parties using it. A certificate is important, but the dispute and applicable procedure should not be decided from one document alone.
Divorce 29/08/2022
Recognition of consensual divorce is a court procedure, not simply registration of a private decision. The spouses should present a genuine joint request and explain their arrangements for children and property in terms the court can assess. 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 04/11/2023
There is no reliable single number of court visits for every unilateral divorce. The required participation depends on the procedural steps, the disputed issues, service of documents and any lawful basis for absence. A statement-taking appointment, evidence session, mediation and trial are different events. Review the summons and ask what participation is required. Do not assume that a lawyer can replace a spouse at every stage or that ignoring a notice will shorten the process.
Divorce 15/11/2022
A consensual divorce file should show both voluntary agreement and workable family arrangements. Preparing accurate marriage records and clearly recording the terms on children and finances helps the court assess the request without unnecessary ambiguity. 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 25/08/2022
The most useful way to prepare a divorce petition is to make the facts and requests understandable from the outset. Accurate civil-status records, a coherent chronology and clearly identified child or property issues can reduce avoidable requests for clarification. 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.
Investment 07/09/2023
Adding a new business activity can affect more than the wording of a certificate. The proposed activity must be compared with the existing investment project, enterprise registration, premises and any operating licence. Prepare a plain-language description of the services or goods, customer groups and revenue model. Similar commercial descriptions may fall under different regulatory conditions. Foreign market-access requirements and conditions applying to all operators should be reviewed separately.
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 04/01/2024
BCC refers to a Business Cooperation Contract, while Build-Transfer-Operate is commonly abbreviated BTO. These are different concepts. The intended structure must be clarified before a legal assessment can be meaningful. A business cooperation contract sets out cooperation between investors without creating a new economic organization for that arrangement. A BTO infrastructure project involves a different public-private project structure. The parties, project and legal framework should be identified rather than combining the two descriptions.
Investment 24/07/2026
Review employment law issues for foreign companies in Vietnam, from contracts and internal rules to work permits, termination and labor dispute planning. Coordinate management, HR and legal records before hiring or restructuring. International policies should be adapted to the local employment relationship and supported by consistent documents and a lawful decision process.
