Enterprise 21/07/2023
A business merger transfers the absorbed company's rights and obligations to a surviving company. The transaction therefore requires attention to liabilities, employees, creditors and approvals as well as the commercial terms of the deal. This guide distinguishes a merger from consolidation and highlights the work needed before signing and completion. A well-prepared transaction plan also accounts for competition review, regulated activities and post-completion integration.
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 12/10/2026
Assess legal representation in Vietnam without travel, covering remote tasks, documents, authorization, communication and risks for overseas clients. Begin with the facts, deadlines and scans, then confirm which originals or formalities are needed. A clear engagement should explain the representative's powers, reporting process and any personal participation that remains necessary.
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 26/10/2023
The need for a lawyer often becomes clear when a decision has lasting legal consequences or a dispute has become difficult to manage. A consultation can help define the issue before a client signs a document, responds to a demand or starts proceedings. Examples include a court notice, a disputed contract, an employment decision or a family disagreement affecting children or property. Record any deadline and explain what has already been said or signed. Early advice is especially useful when evidence may be lost or a commitment is irreversible.
Foreigners 09/11/2023
Foreign nationals should check the legal basis for entering Vietnam before making travel arrangements. Requirements can depend on nationality, travel document, purpose and the route used to enter. Review passport validity, the issued visa or applicable exemption and the permitted entry point. Names and dates should be consistent. An approval or visa does not remove every entry condition, and past immigration problems may require individual advice.
Foreigners 14/09/2023
Removing a senior director from a corporate position does not by itself answer how an employment contract should end. The appointment, employment relationship and any shareholder role should be reviewed separately before a decision is communicated. Examine the company charter, appointment resolution, delegation of authority and employment contract. A board or owner may have a corporate power to change management while the company still has employment obligations. The individual's actual status determines which procedures need analysis.
Foreigners 27/01/2026
Prepare for marriage registration between a foreigner and Vietnamese citizen, with guidance on civil-status documents, filing and personal attendance. Confirm the parties' eligibility and the correct document route before travel. Previous marriages, inconsistent names and foreign-issued records can require additional preparation even when the couple agrees on the registration.
Dispute 12/10/2023
Commercial arbitration begins with a valid basis for arbitral jurisdiction. The parties' agreement, the nature of the dispute and the applicable rules should be reviewed before a claim is submitted. Read the clause with the complete contract and any incorporated documents. Identify the institution or ad hoc arrangement, seat, language, number of arbitrators and scope of disputes covered. A dispute-resolution label alone may not resolve uncertainty about the agreed procedure.
Dispute 21/08/2023
A civil dispute should be defined by the right or obligation in conflict and the remedy sought. Identifying the transaction, property or relationship involved helps determine the relevant evidence and procedure. The article introduces common dispute categories while distinguishing civil, commercial and labour claims. A clear chronology and document list help a lawyer assess the appropriate route and any urgent action required.
Dispute 06/09/2023
A divorce judgment does not always resolve every disagreement about property. A later claim may concern assets omitted from the proceedings, competing ownership claims or an agreement that one former spouse has not performed. Distinguish common property from separate property using the acquisition history, source of funds, gifts, inheritance records and any marital property agreement. A name on a certificate is one part of the evidence; it does not answer every question about contributions or ownership.
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.
Divorce 26/08/2022
Some divorce issues appear straightforward until disagreements about children, documents or assets emerge. A lawyer can help assess those risks, explain available options and prepare a consistent position, without promising that representation will secure a particular result. 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 26/12/2022
Although the title refers to an earlier year, property analysis should be based on the law applicable to the present dispute. The starting point is to identify the assets, the property regime and any agreement before considering the statutory division factors. 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 27/10/2022
Divorce from a Vietnamese spouse may be consensual or contested depending on the actual level of agreement. Nationality is only part of the assessment; residence, the other spouse's location and the situation of children or assets also matter. 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 26/08/2022
Agreement to divorce and permission to miss a court session are different issues. A spouse's overseas residence or inability to attend must be assessed under procedural rules, and the court may still need to verify the parties' personal wishes. 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 28/11/2023
Foreign individuals and foreign-invested enterprises should not assume that the same property rights are available to each of them. Housing ownership, a commercial lease and land use for an investment project involve different legal questions. Review nationality or corporate status, the type of asset, project eligibility and the proposed use. A foreign individual should not treat an agreement with a nominee as equivalent to a lawful registered right. The available structure must fit both the investor and the asset.
Investment 09/11/2023
A securities investment company is a regulated structure and should not be confused with an ordinary company that invests its own surplus funds. The proposed model determines which specialized rules and approvals require examination. Clarify whether the proposal involves a public or private structure, who will provide capital and who will manage it. Review the roles of any fund manager, custodian and governing body. Investor eligibility and capital evidence should be assessed under the current securities framework.
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 11/09/2023
A change to an investor's name, identity document or registered particulars should be assessed against the records of the investment project. An administrative update is different from a change in the investor or an acquisition of the investment. Compare the old and new documents and explain what has actually changed. A renamed corporate investor, a replaced passport and a transfer to a different investor may require different evidence and procedures. Do not treat every change as the same filing.
