Revocation of a household business registration raises different issues from the revocation or dissolution of a company. The notice, legal grounds and response deadline should be identified before deciding what action to take. The guide focuses on preparing the registration and compliance records needed for advice, while separating household business rules from enterprise procedures and avoiding reliance on superseded registration provisions.
Enterprise 26/09/2023
Establishing a foreign-invested enterprise requires a legal assessment of the planned activities and the investor's structure. Selecting a company name or signing a lease before that assessment can create avoidable commitments. Consider the number of owners, governance, funding and future transfers when comparing an LLC with a joint-stock company. A representative office has a different purpose from a trading enterprise. Review the permitted scope of activity and foreign ownership conditions before deciding on the structure.

Business legal counsel helps companies manage contracts, corporate decisions, regulatory obligations and disputes as connected parts of their operations. Early review can reveal issues before they become costly to address. The guide describes how ongoing advice can be organised around a company's activities and priorities, including a document inventory and clear allocation of responsibility for decisions and follow-up actions.
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.
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.

An international couple may agree to divorce yet still face document and participation requirements. Before filing a joint application, confirm the Vietnamese court's jurisdiction and prepare clear arrangements for children, property and any unresolved financial obligations. 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.
Foreigners 18/01/2026
Explore legal support for foreigners in Vietnam across disputes, corporate matters, employment, property and family law, with practical preparation tips. Choose counsel by relevant practice experience, professional status and clear communication. Define the scope, documents and fees early, and ask which tasks require authorization or personal attendance.
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.
Dispute 26/05/2026
Prepare for commercial dispute litigation in Vietnam with guidance on contracts, jurisdiction, evidence, negotiation, claims and enforcement considerations. Assess the dispute clause and commercial objective before issuing a claim. A well-organized chronology and complete performance record help counsel compare settlement with formal proceedings and explain the risks.
Dispute 10/03/2026
Review commercial arbitration agreements in Vietnam, including written form, signatory authority, validity, separability and dispute-clause preparation. A workable clause identifies the intended forum and covers a legally arbitrable dispute. Review the parties, scope and execution before signing so jurisdiction issues do not undermine a later claim.
Dispute 29/06/2026
Compare settlement, mediation and litigation in Vietnam using evidence, enforceability, urgency, cost and commercial objectives before choosing a strategy. A negotiated solution needs clear obligations and a credible enforcement route. Preserve deadlines while exploring compromise, and assess whether formal proceedings or a valid arbitration clause change the available options.
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 28/08/2023
Divorce does not remove parents' responsibilities towards their children. A workable support arrangement should connect the child's needs with the responsible parent's ability to contribute and the terms of any existing decision. The article distinguishes support from custody and visitation, explains the records that help assess a request and encourages a clear written arrangement rather than assuming that every family shares expenses equally.
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 13/08/2022
Consensual divorce depends on genuine agreement and workable arrangements that protect the legitimate interests of the wife and children. A signed application alone does not end the marriage: the competent court must review the request and issue the appropriate decision. 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 12/10/2022
Spouses may negotiate a property settlement or ask the court to determine disputed assets. In either situation, the asset list should be supported by records showing acquisition, ownership, contributions and related financial obligations. 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.
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 17/10/2026
Review industrial land and factory lease due diligence in Vietnam before paying a deposit, including lessor rights, site use, approvals and contract risks. Legal, technical and commercial reviews should support the same project. Verify the underlying rights and planned manufacturing use, then address document delivery, safety responsibilities, deposits and exit protections in the lease.
Investment 06/03/2026
Review conditions and documents for a foreign company's representative office in Vietnam, including permitted scope, parent-company records and premises. A representative office serves permitted liaison and promotional functions rather than ordinary revenue-generating business. Review eligibility and the parent company's documents before choosing this structure or committing to an office lease.
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.
