LawyersInVietnam.com shares practical legal guidance from Jurion & Partners Law Firm for foreign individuals, international investors and businesses in Vietnam. Explore corporate and investment matters, commercial disputes, employment, immigration, property and family law. Our articles help you identify legal risks, organize relevant documents and prepare questions for a lawyer. For matters involving Vietnam and another country, start with a clear assessment of the applicable procedure and your priorities.
Enterprise 11/12/2023
Converting a joint-stock company into a single-member limited liability company changes its ownership and governance structure. The commercial aim and the method of reaching a single owner should be assessed before the conversion documents are drafted. Review the shareholder register, share classes, transfer arrangements and restrictions. A conversion following an acquisition requires reliable evidence of the completed ownership change. Any foreign investor involvement should be reviewed alongside the corporate procedure.
Enterprise 06/12/2025
Review the legal risks of hiring foreign workers in Vietnam, covering work authorization, employment contracts, payroll and ongoing compliance. Employers should align immigration documents, job duties, contract terms and payroll treatment. Changes of employer, role or location may require further review instead of assuming the original approval remains sufficient.
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 08/10/2026
Review foreign-company branch establishment in Vietnam, including eligibility, permitted activities, parent-company documents, premises and continuing duties. A branch is a licensed extension of the parent company, not an automatic substitute for a local subsidiary. Confirm sector feasibility and authority limits before choosing the structure or committing to office costs.
Foreigners 17/01/2024
Labor disputes can concern pay, working time, workplace conditions, insurance or termination. The appropriate response depends on the claim and evidence, not simply on which party first raises a complaint. Review the employment contract and relevant policies and identify the specific obligation alleged to have been breached. For a payment claim, prepare a period-by-period calculation. For a conduct or termination issue, preserve the decisions, notices and supporting records.
Foreigners 02/10/2026
Review Vietnam personal data protection compliance in 2026 for foreign companies, including data mapping, employee records, vendors and overseas access. Identify the company's role and actual data flows before drawing compliance conclusions. Policies, access controls, retention and vendor arrangements should reflect how HR, customer and platform information is processed.
Foreigners 26/01/2024
Ending an employment contract requires both an appropriate legal ground and the procedure attached to that ground. A business preference to end the relationship is not, by itself, a complete legal justification. Expiry, mutual agreement, unilateral termination, disciplinary dismissal and workforce reduction raise different questions. Review the employment contract and evidence before choosing a route. Notice should not be treated as a universal payment option that makes any dismissal lawful.
Foreigners 27/06/2026
Review legal risk assessment for foreign investors in Vietnam, including market access, structure, contracts, premises, employment and enforcement. Identify material issues before capital or operational commitments become binding. The review should connect the actual business model with licensing, control rights, supporting records and realistic dispute remedies.
Dispute 09/08/2023
A labour dispute involving a foreign employee, an overseas employer or evidence abroad requires both an employment-law and a procedural assessment. The first step is to identify the relationship, claim and connection with Vietnam. The article focuses on the practical documents needed to assess the dispute and distinguishes individual from collective procedures rather than treating all foreign-related employment claims as the same type of case.
Dispute 22/07/2023
Commercial arbitration can offer parties a private and flexible process for an eligible dispute, but its suitability depends on the arbitration agreement, costs, evidence and enforcement needs. It is not automatically faster or preferable in every case. The article explains the potential advantages and the questions businesses should consider when drafting a dispute clause or responding to an existing claim, without promising a particular timetable or result.
Dispute 27/07/2023
Commercial arbitration depends on an eligible dispute and an effective arbitration agreement. Businesses should review the agreed institution or procedure, the scope of the clause and the relief sought before commencing a claim. The guide introduces institutional and ad hoc arbitration and explains why the contract and procedural choices should be reviewed early, alongside evidence, costs and the practical prospects of enforcing an award.
Dispute 25/10/2025
A business receiving a lawsuit or procedural notice should identify the required response promptly. A calm, organized review is more useful than an immediate denial or an informal promise to resolve everything later. Keep the envelope or service record, claim documents and relevant contracts, correspondence, invoices and performance evidence. Identify the person authorized to instruct counsel. A lawyer can assess jurisdiction, deadlines, defenses and any counterclaim from the complete record.
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 27/09/2022
A spouse living in another country can affect jurisdiction, service and the time needed to prepare a divorce. Establishing the overseas address and reviewing foreign-issued records early helps identify procedural difficulties before a petition is submitted. The discussion explains the preparation issues that international families should consider before filing. It connects document readiness with procedural requirements and highlights the need to assess overseas residence, service and practical participation without assuming that every case follows the same timetable.
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.
Divorce 16/09/2022
A foreign divorce decision may need to be reflected in Vietnamese civil-status records before later administrative steps. Recording the event and obtaining recognition or enforcement of a foreign judgment serve different purposes and should not be treated as interchangeable procedures. The discussion explains the preparation issues that international families should consider before filing. It connects document readiness with procedural requirements and highlights the need to assess overseas residence, service and practical participation without assuming that every case follows the same timetable.
Investment 15/08/2024
An acquisition can provide access to an existing business, but it also requires careful assessment of that business's legal position. A share purchase, subscription and company merger allocate risks differently. Review ownership, corporate authority, licences, land or premises, material contracts, employment, tax and disputes. Identify missing records and contingent obligations. The structure and price should be considered alongside legal findings rather than before the scope of due diligence is agreed.
Investment 19/07/2023
An Investment Registration Certificate records information about an investment project. Determining whether a project needs one requires an assessment of the investor, proposed activities and applicable investment procedures. The article explains how project scope, capital, location and implementation plans fit into a registration review. Enterprise registration, sector licences and project approvals should be considered separately rather than treated as interchangeable documents.
Investment 18/08/2026
Identify legal risks for foreign investors in Vietnam, including unsuitable structures, conditional sectors, contracts, property and ongoing obligations. A promising commercial proposal still needs a workable legal foundation. Review approvals, signing authority, funds flow and operational permissions before relying on informal assurances or committing to a local arrangement.
Investment 03/04/2026
Understand investment project approval under Vietnam's 2025 Investment Law, including classification, competent authority and preparation before filing. In-principle approval and investment registration serve different functions. Confirm the applicable route and authority for the actual project before adopting a timetable or treating company registration as permission to operate.
