Enterprise 18/01/2026
Compare a Vietnam LLC and joint stock company, including ownership, governance, capital raising, transfer restrictions and practical structure selection. The suitable form depends on the number of investors, control arrangements and future funding plans. Review the charter and transfer mechanisms before incorporation so the structure supports both operations and eventual exit.
Enterprise 13/06/2026
Review M&A legal support in Vietnam, including transaction structure, due diligence, purchase documents, foreign ownership and post-closing compliance. A deal should be tested against the target's records and regulatory position before payment. Translate due diligence findings into conditions, warranties, indemnities and a closing plan that matches the transaction.
Enterprise 10/11/2025
Compare negotiation, mediation, arbitration and litigation for foreign-company disputes in Vietnam, with evidence and enforcement issues to assess early. Review the dispute clause, performance records, notices and counterparty assets before choosing a forum. Legal strategy should account for settlement options, procedural deadlines and the practical prospect of enforcing a decision.
Enterprise 22/01/2026
Review legal planning for a foreign-owned accommodation business in Vietnam, including investment structure, premises, tourism conditions and safety duties. Ownership feasibility and company registration do not alone permit accommodation operations. Check the site's lawful use, construction position and applicable operational conditions before signing a lease or launching the business.
Foreigners 30/10/2024
Temporary residence card conditions depend on the basis of the application. Employment, investment and family categories should not be combined into a generic checklist promising the same documents or period to every applicant. Identify the legal category and facts supporting it. Review the current entry or residence status, passport and sponsor. A work contract, ownership interest or family relationship may be relevant, but its legal effect depends on the particular category and evidence.
Foreigners 28/02/2024
A foreign employee's final payment should be assessed item by item. Severance allowance, job-loss allowance, unpaid salary and compensation following unlawful termination are different concepts and should not be used interchangeably. Review the ground for ending employment, actual service and relevant exclusions or prior payments. Nationality alone does not answer whether a particular allowance is payable. The contract and payroll history help identify the applicable basis and any additional agreed benefit.
Foreigners 16/08/2025
A marital property agreement can clarify financial arrangements, but it must be assessed alongside the rules governing the particular property. A foreign spouse's eligibility to own housing or hold another right cannot be created merely by agreement. List existing and proposed assets, the source of funds and any finance. Review whether each party can lawfully acquire the interest proposed. The agreement should accurately describe separate and shared interests rather than promise rights inconsistent with land or housing law.
Foreigners 22/06/2026
Plan remote legal representation in Vietnam through case review, document preparation, clear authorization and controlled reporting for clients abroad. Agree on the scope before signing a power of attorney. The client should retain control over settlements and other major decisions, while counsel checks whether personal attendance or authenticated originals are required.
Dispute 24/11/2025
Assess cross-border contract disputes in Vietnam through contract review, evidence preservation, negotiation, arbitration and court strategy. The contract's governing law and dispute clause can shape the available remedies. Preserve delivery records, payment evidence and notices before terminating performance or sending a formal claim.
Dispute 16/10/2023
A loan dispute requires a clear account of what was advanced, when repayment became due and what has already been paid. The existence of a signed contract is helpful, but the surrounding payment evidence may be equally important. Separate principal, agreed interest, alleged default charges and other sums. Match each figure to the loan agreement and bank or receipt records. A disputed interest provision requires legal review rather than an assumption that every amount written in the contract is enforceable.
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 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.
Divorce 29/08/2023
Dividing property after divorce begins with identifying whether an asset is common or separate and reviewing any valid property arrangement. The source of the funds and supporting records matter as much as the name on a document. The article describes a structured approach to the asset inventory and the points that commonly cause disagreement. It does not assume that every asset acquired during marriage must be divided in the same way.
Divorce 05/12/2022
A gift received during marriage is not classified solely by the date it was given. The intended recipient, the terms of the gift and the way ownership was documented can be central when distinguishing separate property from a joint asset. 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 07/08/2023
A child custody dispute involving another country requires careful consideration of the child's welfare, existing orders, residence and any proposed relocation. An overseas element does not create a single automatic route for every family. The discussion explains why the countries involved and the available procedures must be checked individually. It avoids assuming that an international convention applies or that a foreign order can be enforced without further review.
Divorce 05/06/2023
Legal advice can help a spouse understand what must be proved and which issues can be negotiated. The useful measure is the quality of preparation and explanation, rather than a promise to accelerate every case or guarantee custody or property outcomes. 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 22/05/2024
An investment registration certificate adjustment should reflect an actual change to the project or investor information. The first step is to describe the difference between the current record and the proposed situation. A name correction, capital change, new objective, location change and transfer of a project can raise different issues. Compare the certificate with actual implementation and reporting records. Corporate approval and evidence of funding or land arrangements should fit the change proposed.
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 15/08/2023
Foreign investment capital enters Vietnam through transactions and projects with different legal requirements. Investors should connect the proposed funding route with ownership conditions, approvals, banking arrangements and the business plan. The discussion considers the opportunities together with their conditions. Incentives and market entry permissions should be verified for the particular project rather than assumed from a general description of an industry.
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.
