Enterprise 14/07/2023
Salary deductions for lateness must be distinguished from lawful pay calculation and compensation for proven damage. An attendance policy cannot by itself justify a financial penalty imposed as labour discipline. This guide separates attendance management, disciplinary procedure and material liability so that a payroll dispute can be assessed against the employment documents and applicable labour rules.
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.
Enterprise 10/11/2025
Foreign employers should assess Vietnam termination decisions under the applicable local framework rather than assume that an overseas policy can be used unchanged. The chosen legal ground and actual evidence determine the procedure to examine. Expiry, agreement, unilateral termination, redundancy and disciplinary dismissal are distinct. Review the contract, internal rules and evidence before deciding how to proceed. Paying notice does not automatically make an otherwise unsupported termination lawful.
Enterprise 23/05/2026
Review a lawyer's role in foreign-invested company establishment in Vietnam, including structure, market access, documents, capital and licensing risks. Legal review should come before premises commitments or partner agreements. Match the business lines, investor records, charter and post-licensing duties to the operations the company actually plans to conduct.
Foreigners 08/09/2026
Prepare a power of attorney for Vietnam with guidance on permitted tasks, foreign documents, settlement limits and representation for overseas clients. Define the matter and powers precisely before execution. Counsel should confirm which acts can be delegated and how authentication, translations and original-document requirements affect the proposed local procedure.

涉及越南的法律事务，可能同时需要核实身份、审查文件和协调跨境沟通。中文姓名与越南语译名不一致、文件不完整或授权不清，都会影响律师理解案件。本文介绍在胡志明市寻求法律协助时如何整理原始材料、确定办理目的、安排翻译并约定工作范围，帮助客户为具体问题的评估做好准备。
Foreigners 25/10/2024
A temporary residence card is available only where the applicant meets an applicable category and its conditions. A wish to remain in Vietnam for a long period is not enough on its own. Review employment, investment, family or other qualifying circumstances and the supporting documents for that category. Check the sponsor's status and passport validity. The card should not be treated as a general work authorization; permission to work requires its own assessment.
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.
Dispute 22/12/2023
Threats accompanied by demands for money or property require careful and prompt attention. The legal classification depends on the actual conduct and evidence, rather than a generic label such as blackmail used in another legal system. Keep messages, payment demands, account information and records of the events without editing the originals. Avoid unsafe confrontation or public dissemination of private material. Where there is immediate danger, seek assistance from the competent local authority promptly.
Dispute 28/11/2023
International investment disputes can arise under a contract, domestic law or an applicable investment treaty. A commercial disagreement with a local partner is different from a claim against a state under a treaty. Review the investor's nationality, ownership structure, investment documents and the measures complained of. Treaty protections and dispute mechanisms depend on the particular instrument and its conditions. An unfavorable business result alone does not establish a treaty breach.
Dispute 21/12/2023
Secret filming or unauthorized use of photographs can affect image rights, privacy and personal information. The consequences depend on what was recorded, how it was obtained or used and the circumstances; not every act automatically constitutes a criminal offence. Keep the original messages, dates, account details and evidence of publication where it is safe and lawful to do so. Avoid reposting intimate or private material while trying to prove what happened. Record any request for removal and response.
Dispute 29/07/2023
Dispute lawyers assess legal rights, organise evidence and help clients compare negotiation, mediation, arbitration and litigation. Their role includes managing procedural risks and explaining the strengths and limitations of a claim. The discussion describes the legal work involved in a dispute rather than promising success. Clients can use it to prepare the contracts, correspondence and questions needed for an informed first discussion.
Divorce 26/12/2025
Explore common legal issues in international marriages, including residence, applicable law, children, assets and recognition of divorce decisions. A marriage can connect several legal systems without producing the same rights in each country. Review nationality, residence, overseas documents and asset location before assuming a local decision will have effect abroad.
Divorce 25/08/2022
Before pursuing consensual divorce, confirm that both spouses agree on the essential issues and understand the court's role. Document readiness, participation requirements and any outstanding arrangements for children or property can matter more than an advertised completion period. 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 15/07/2023
A divorce involving another country requires an assessment of jurisdiction, applicable law, overseas documents and service of proceedings. Whether the spouses agree also affects the preparation needed for children, property and financial obligations. The article brings these questions together as a preparation guide. A case involving a foreign spouse or property abroad should be reviewed on its own facts before a court, document list or timetable is selected.
Divorce 22/10/2022
A custody proposal should explain how the child's daily care, education and emotional needs will be met. Parents should also consider support and continuing contact with the other parent, rather than treating direct care as the end of all shared responsibilities. The discussion considers the child’s welfare, the evidence parents can prepare and the practical effect of the proposed arrangement. It also distinguishes direct care from continuing support and contact obligations, so the request can be assessed on its own facts.
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 13/11/2023
A construction investment project requires a coordinated legal and technical plan. The appropriate documents and approvals depend on the project, funding, site and nature of the works. Review the proposed land use, planning status, investment arrangements and technical studies. Identify which design, environmental, fire-safety and construction requirements apply. Work with technical advisers so the legal filing reflects the actual design and intended operation.
Investment 11/09/2022
A support claim with international elements raises questions beyond the amount requested. The relationship between the parties, applicable law, the authority handling the claim and the practical possibility of enforcement should be considered together. 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 13/03/2026
Explore investment incentives under Vietnam's 2025 Investment Law, including eligible sectors, locations and the conditions behind potential benefits. Sector or location eligibility does not guarantee every tax or land-related benefit. Review the project's facts, applicable implementing rules and documentation before including incentives in a financial model.
