Enterprise 05/09/2026
Explore enterprise legal services for foreign-owned companies in Vietnam, including governance, representative authority, contracts, compliance and disputes. Review the company charter and actual approval process together. Strong records and a clear allocation of authority help address signing risks, ownership changes and operational questions before they develop into internal conflict.
Enterprise 31/10/2023
Shareholders in a joint-stock company do not all hold identical rights. The share class, company charter, applicable law and any shareholder agreement should be reviewed together when assessing a proposed decision or dispute. Voting, dividends, information access, transfer and participation in corporate decisions may depend on the share type and other conditions. Check the shareholder register and evidence of payment. A percentage quoted without its legal context may not explain the full extent of a shareholder's rights.
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.
Enterprise 01/10/2026
Review enterprise legal services in Vietnam for foreign companies, from business structure and licensing to governance, employment and restructuring. Legal support should follow the company's lifecycle and actual activities. Coordinate the charter, approvals, contracts and operational permissions before expansion, ownership changes or a material commercial commitment.
Foreigners 18/09/2023
A Vietnam visa application begins with the proposed purpose of entry. Tourism, employment, investment, study and family visits should not be treated as interchangeable categories, and permission to enter is different from authorization to work. Review nationality, passport validity, intended activities, entry points and travel dates. Consider whether an e-visa, an exemption or a sponsored application is available for the situation. Use the current official requirements for the relevant route; an old table of visa durations can be misleading.
Foreigners 13/11/2023
Sponsorship for a foreign visitor requires attention to both the inviting party and the person's purpose of entry. The sponsor should understand its role before submitting information or accepting responsibility for the visit. Confirm the organization's legal status, signing authority and relationship with the visitor. The stated purpose should match the supporting evidence and planned activities. Sponsorship for entry should not be confused with permission to employ the person.
Foreigners 24/06/2025
A foreign worker who receives a dismissal or termination notice should preserve the documents and clarify the legal basis used by the employer. Employment and immigration questions may arise together and should be assessed promptly. Keep the contract, notices, policies, performance or disciplinary records and relevant communications. Record when the decision was received and what payments were offered. Do not assume that all forms of contract termination are disciplinary dismissal or follow the same procedure.
Foreigners 21/09/2026
Understand remote legal representation in Vietnam, including suitable matters, authorization scope, foreign documents and limits for personal-status cases. Agree on local tasks and reporting while retaining control over major decisions. Some procedures, particularly divorce-related participation, have limits that a broad power of attorney cannot remove.
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 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 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 25/03/2026
Understand why litigation preparation starts before a dispute, through contract design, evidence records, notices and proactive business risk review. Prepare the contract and document process while the parties still cooperate. Early legal review can clarify forum choices and remedies without implying that preparation controls a court's decision or guarantees recovery.
Divorce 18/10/2022
An overseas marriage and its recording in Vietnamese civil-status records are related but separate matters. Before seeking divorce, clarify how the marriage is evidenced and recognised, which records are available and whether any preliminary administrative step is needed. 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 02/08/2022
A spouse living overseas or unable to attend creates practical questions about notice, evidence and personal participation. The court must assess the legal requirements for proceeding in absence; a lawyer cannot simply attend as a substitute for a spouse in the divorce itself. 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 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 16/09/2022
A foreign divorce decision may need to be reflected in Vietnamese civil-status records before later administrative steps. Recording the event and obtaining recognition or enforcement of a foreign judgment serve different purposes and should not be treated as interchangeable procedures. 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 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 19/07/2023
An Investment Registration Certificate records information about an investment project. Determining whether a project needs one requires an assessment of the investor, proposed activities and applicable investment procedures. The article explains how project scope, capital, location and implementation plans fit into a registration review. Enterprise registration, sector licences and project approvals should be considered separately rather than treated as interchangeable documents.
Investment 22/05/2024
A foreign investor should distinguish conditions on market access from conditions that apply to conducting a regulated activity. Satisfying one set does not automatically satisfy the other. A broad label such as healthcare, education, finance or telecommunications can cover several activities with different requirements. Identify the actual service, customers and delivery model and assess the relevant foreign-investment and sector framework.
Investment 25/05/2026
Explore legal representation in Vietnam for clients abroad, including remote work, authorization, foreign documents and limits on personal attendance. Begin with a case review and distinguish advisory work from formal representation. Confirm which documents require originals or authentication and which decisions remain subject to the client's approval.
