Enterprise 31/12/2025
Assess key legal considerations before starting a business in Vietnam, including structure, licensing, ownership, premises and ongoing compliance. Company registration is only one part of a workable market-entry plan. Match the proposed activities with available structures, operational permissions, capital commitments and the legal documents needed after establishment.
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 14/07/2023
An employee who disputes dismissal should preserve the decision, employment contract, disciplinary notices and payroll records before choosing how to challenge it. The legal grounds and procedure matter as much as the employer's description of the misconduct. The discussion explains the issues to review with a lawyer, including evidence of misconduct, participation in the disciplinary process and the remedies sought, without assuming that every dismissal produces the same result.
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.
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 07/09/2026
Review inherited property matters in Vietnam for foreign clients, including heirs, estate documents, asset registration, overseas authorization and disputes. Identify the deceased's property separately from co-owned or marital assets. The procedure should account for the will, all relevant heirs and whether the beneficiary may register the asset or needs another lawful route.
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.
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.
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.
Dispute 25/03/2026
Understand why litigation preparation starts before a dispute, through contract design, evidence records, notices and proactive business risk review. Prepare the contract and document process while the parties still cooperate. Early legal review can clarify forum choices and remedies without implying that preparation controls a court's decision or guarantees recovery.
Dispute 29/05/2024
Individual labor disputes can involve unequal access to records and different accounts of the employment relationship. Legal support should begin with a clear description of the claim and the evidence available to each party. A lawyer can review the contract, identify legal and factual issues, calculate a payment claim and assess any preliminary procedure. Missing documents and inconsistent dates should be addressed early. Litigation should not be presented as an automatic next step for every workplace disagreement.
Dispute 17/08/2022
A property dispute often turns on how an asset was acquired and what the documents show. Ownership records, gifts, inheritances, contributions and financial obligations should be examined before either spouse assumes that a particular asset must be divided equally. The discussion considers the acquisition records, agreements and financial evidence that can affect the assessment. It separates ownership questions from the practical implementation of a settlement and highlights why assumptions about equal shares or liability should be checked against the facts.
Divorce 12/11/2022
The distinction between consensual and unilateral divorce is based on the parties' real agreement and the issues before the court. Understanding that difference helps spouses prepare the correct request and avoid assuming that one signature can replace the other's consent. 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 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.
Divorce 18/10/2022
An overseas marriage and its recording in Vietnamese civil-status records are related but separate matters. Before seeking divorce, clarify how the marriage is evidenced and recognised, which records are available and whether any preliminary administrative step is needed. 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 29/08/2022
Custody decisions focus on the child's interests and the parents' actual ability to provide care. A higher income alone does not determine the outcome; daily involvement, stability, education, health and the child's age can all be relevant. 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 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.
Investment 20/07/2023
A foreign-invested company's capital increase may affect project capital, charter capital or borrowing arrangements in different ways. Identifying which figure changes is the starting point for planning the corporate decisions and registration work. The discussion helps investors organise existing certificates, ownership information and funding plans before deciding which approvals or amendments are required and how the steps should be coordinated.
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 25/05/2026
Explore legal representation in Vietnam for clients abroad, including remote work, authorization, foreign documents and limits on personal attendance. Begin with a case review and distinguish advisory work from formal representation. Confirm which documents require originals or authentication and which decisions remain subject to the client's approval.
