Enterprise 22/12/2025
Understand foreign employee recruitment in Vietnam, work authorization, contracts, workplace rights and practical immigration compliance issues. Recruitment and work authorization should be planned together. Compare the approved role, actual duties, employing entity and residence documents, then keep HR records consistent throughout the assignment.
Enterprise 22/01/2026
Review shareholder dispute risks in Vietnamese companies, from capital and voting rights to governance documents, negotiation and formal proceedings. Collect the charter, ownership records, approvals and correspondence before taking unilateral action. A clear assessment of authority and dispute clauses can help preserve operations while the parties consider settlement or legal remedies.
Enterprise 04/01/2024
The term FDI enterprise describes foreign participation but does not create a single package of rights and obligations for every business. Ownership, activities and transaction history should be reviewed together. Identify direct and indirect foreign ownership, the company form and the registered project or business activities. Conditions may differ by sector and investment route. A business should not assume that all foreign-invested companies face the same ownership limit or minimum capital.
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.

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.
Foreigners 01/03/2026
Check current work permit requirements for foreign employees in Vietnam, including eligibility, exemptions, document preparation and continuing compliance. The applicable route depends on the role, qualifications, employer and assignment. Review the current foreign-worker framework and align permit documents with employment contracts instead of relying on outdated duration thresholds.
Dispute 19/06/2026
Review employment lawyer support in Vietnam for foreign employees and employers, including contracts, workplace rules, termination and labor disputes. Assess the contract, compensation records and procedural history before resigning or terminating employment. Legal advice can help compare negotiation and dispute options while addressing work authorization and final-payment issues.
Dispute 29/07/2023
Dispute lawyers assess legal rights, organise evidence and help clients compare negotiation, mediation, arbitration and litigation. Their role includes managing procedural risks and explaining the strengths and limitations of a claim. The discussion describes the legal work involved in a dispute rather than promising success. Clients can use it to prepare the contracts, correspondence and questions needed for an informed first discussion.
Dispute 31/10/2026
When a Vietnamese supplier fails to deliver goods after payment, foreign buyers may face financial losses and business disruption. Learn what evidence to prepare, how to request delivery or a refund, and when to consider legal action.
Dispute 22/12/2023
Threats accompanied by demands for money or property require careful and prompt attention. The legal classification depends on the actual conduct and evidence, rather than a generic label such as blackmail used in another legal system. Keep messages, payment demands, account information and records of the events without editing the originals. Avoid unsafe confrontation or public dissemination of private material. Where there is immediate danger, seek assistance from the competent local authority promptly.
Divorce 21/10/2022
The fastest lawful approach depends on the facts rather than a fixed service label. Clear agreement where possible, accurate documents and early attention to overseas or disputed issues can improve preparation without eliminating the court's required review. 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
Recognition of consensual divorce is a court procedure, not simply registration of a private decision. The spouses should present a genuine joint request and explain their arrangements for children and property in terms the court can assess. 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 02/06/2023
Dividing land-use rights requires attention to both family property rules and the legal characteristics of the land. Records of acquisition, contributions and permitted use help determine whether a practical division or a value-based settlement should be considered. 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 15/10/2022
Choosing the competent court is a distinct step from proving the grounds for divorce. International jurisdiction, territorial rules and the court structure must be checked together, including changes introduced by the 2025 amendments to civil procedure. 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 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 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 13/03/2026
Explore investment incentives under Vietnam's 2025 Investment Law, including eligible sectors, locations and the conditions behind potential benefits. Sector or location eligibility does not guarantee every tax or land-related benefit. Review the project's facts, applicable implementing rules and documentation before including incentives in a financial model.
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.
