Enterprise 25/01/2026
Avoid service agreement pitfalls by defining scope, deliverables, liability, payment, termination and practical remedies before a dispute arises. Use specific milestones and acceptance records that match the real service. A legal review should connect risk allocation with commercial expectations, evidence of completion and the consequences of delayed or defective performance.

Review commercial arbitration in Vietnam for foreign businesses, including valid clauses, proceedings, evidence, interim relief and enforcement risks. Check the forum, language, scope and notice provisions before a dispute arises. Arbitration may offer flexibility, but cost, challenge grounds and the debtor's assets still matter when assessing the practical outcome.
Enterprise 20/10/2026
Understand foreign arbitral award enforcement in Vietnam, including recognition conditions, documents, refusal grounds, court procedure and recovery risks. Recognition and actual recovery are separate stages. Review the arbitration record, notice evidence and debtor assets before filing, and assess applicable deadlines and objections under the law in force.
Enterprise 17/10/2025
A business setup should begin with the activities and investment objectives, not merely with an application form. The right structure depends on ownership, control, funding and the conditions attached to the proposed operation. Compare an LLC or joint-stock company with the more limited purposes of a representative office or other available arrangement. Review foreign market access and operating permissions. The choice should account for future investors and transfers as well as immediate establishment costs.

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.

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。
Dispute 28/08/2023
A land dispute can concern boundaries, land use rights, a transaction or inheritance. Correctly identifying the dispute and the available land records is essential before selecting an administrative or court route. The discussion focuses on case preparation and the distinction between land use rights and related contractual or family claims. Current land legislation and procedural competence should be checked before any application is filed.
Dispute 24/04/2024
A proposed transfer within a housing project requires more than a site visit and a deposit agreement. The buyer should assess the project's legal status and whether the specific transfer can proceed. Request relevant land and project documents, planning information and evidence concerning infrastructure and financial obligations. Identify the investor and any agent's authority. An advertisement for a plot does not establish that the particular transaction is legally available.
Dispute 03/04/2026
Compare dispute resolution support in Vietnam for foreign clients, covering forum selection, evidence, negotiation, representation and enforcement planning. A dispute strategy should connect the contract, available proof, deadlines and debtor assets. Evaluate the limits of each route and avoid assuming that an award or judgment guarantees recovery.
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.
Divorce 17/08/2022
A divorce lawyer helps turn family concerns into clear legal requests supported by relevant records. Advice may cover settlement discussions, procedural preparation and the protection of children's and financial interests, while the court remains responsible for deciding the case. 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 11/01/2023
A foreign element is not a reason to rely automatically on an old provincial-court filing rule. Current court competence and territorial jurisdiction should be assessed against the amended Civil Procedure Code and the facts connecting the case to Vietnam. 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.
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 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 10/10/2023
Foreign investment registration should follow a clear understanding of the project. A new company, an acquisition and a cooperation arrangement do not necessarily use the same procedure or approval sequence. Define the activities, location, capital, ownership and implementation plan. Review market-access conditions and whether investment-policy approval, project registration or an acquisition procedure applies. Avoid relying on an old ownership percentage as a universal test for every transaction.
Investment 27/11/2023
Real estate business can involve development, sale, leasing, brokerage or management. The applicable requirements depend on the activity and property, so a single definition does not provide a complete compliance checklist. Review who will conduct the activity, the scope of its registration and licences, and the status of the property or project. Existing buildings and future property can raise different conditions. Marketing or taking funds before those conditions are assessed can create significant risk.
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 17/07/2023
Investment lawyers help investors connect a proposed business model with the legal requirements for ownership, licensing, contracts and operation in Vietnam. Their work begins before funds are committed and continues as the project develops. This guide explains the main workstreams rather than promising approval or returns. Investors can use it to identify the questions, project documents and transaction risks to discuss before choosing an investment structure.
