Enterprise 25/08/2026
Assess legal risks before doing business in Vietnam, including foreign ownership, licensing, partners, employment, contracts and exit planning. Map the proposed activities and commercial relationships before choosing a structure. An early review can identify approvals, evidence and governance controls needed to keep the market-entry plan legally workable.
Enterprise 23/09/2023
Changing charter capital is a corporate decision with consequences for ownership, finance and registration. An increase, a reduction and a transfer of an existing interest are not the same transaction. Set out the current and proposed capital, who will contribute or receive funds, the transaction method and the reason for the change. Review the charter and approval authority. Foreign investor participation may require an additional investment review rather than enterprise registration alone.
Enterprise 14/09/2026
Prepare evidence for commercial disputes in Vietnam through a complete contract file, factual chronology, original records and a realistic forum strategy. Collect performance, communications and damages evidence before sending a formal claim. Preserve original files and distinguish translations so counsel can assess notice compliance, remedies and any evidentiary gaps.
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 21/10/2023
Legal services can help prevent a problem, structure a transaction or respond to a dispute. Choosing the right form of support begins with understanding what must be decided and what work is needed to implement that decision. A written opinion may identify risks without including contract drafting, filing or representation. A document review may focus on a particular issue rather than every aspect of a transaction. Clarify the expected deliverables and who will act on them.
Foreigners 05/07/2024
A matter involving foreign parties or documents can connect Vietnamese procedures with requirements abroad. The legal work should identify those connections before selecting a service or preparing a filing. Business establishment, employment, immigration, family matters and disputes require different expertise and procedures. Explain where the parties, documents and assets are located. A Vietnamese engagement should identify which foreign-law questions, if any, need separate advice.
Foreigners 05/08/2023
Employing a foreign worker requires the business to monitor the actual role, employer, work location and permission to work. A permit or exemption should be checked against the proposed arrangement before work begins. This article focuses on prevention and remediation. The applicable consequences depend on the particular conduct and governing rules, so a business should not assume that every irregularity carries the same penalty.
Foreigners 03/10/2023
Expulsion can have serious consequences for a foreign national's residence, work and family arrangements. The first step is to identify the actual decision and whether the matter concerns an administrative sanction, a criminal judgment or another immigration measure. Record the issuing authority, legal basis, alleged conduct, relevant dates and obligations. Obtain the documents in a form the affected person can understand and raise any interpretation needs. The available response depends on the procedural route, not on a general description of deportation.
Dispute 25/10/2025
A business receiving a lawsuit or procedural notice should identify the required response promptly. A calm, organized review is more useful than an immediate denial or an informal promise to resolve everything later. Keep the envelope or service record, claim documents and relevant contracts, correspondence, invoices and performance evidence. Identify the person authorized to instruct counsel. A lawyer can assess jurisdiction, deadlines, defenses and any counterclaim from the complete record.
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 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 20/06/2026
Understand litigation support for contested unilateral divorce in Vietnam, including evidence, an absent spouse, children, assets, debts and court procedure. A disputed divorce requires specific claims and organized proof. Prepare the marital history, court papers and evidence concerning care, ownership and debt while identifying the limits of proxy representation.
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.
Divorce 08/08/2022
Living together as husband and wife does not automatically create the same property regime as a registered marriage. Resolving ownership requires attention to the parties' agreements, acquisition records and contributions, while children's rights remain a separate issue requiring protection. 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 16/09/2022
A person being out of contact is different from a court formally declaring that person missing. Where the legal conditions for a declaration are met, that decision can become relevant to a subsequent divorce request under Vietnamese family law. 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 20/09/2022
A divorce settlement should begin by identifying the applicable property regime and distinguishing joint assets from separate ownership. Where agreement is not possible, the court examines the relevant evidence and statutory factors rather than relying only on whose name appears on a document. 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 03/04/2026
Understand investment project approval under Vietnam's 2025 Investment Law, including classification, competent authority and preparation before filing. In-principle approval and investment registration serve different functions. Confirm the applicable route and authority for the actual project before adopting a timetable or treating company registration as permission to operate.
Investment 04/01/2024
BCC refers to a Business Cooperation Contract, while Build-Transfer-Operate is commonly abbreviated BTO. These are different concepts. The intended structure must be clarified before a legal assessment can be meaningful. A business cooperation contract sets out cooperation between investors without creating a new economic organization for that arrangement. A BTO infrastructure project involves a different public-private project structure. The parties, project and legal framework should be identified rather than combining the two descriptions.
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 24/07/2026
Review employment law issues for foreign companies in Vietnam, from contracts and internal rules to work permits, termination and labor dispute planning. Coordinate management, HR and legal records before hiring or restructuring. International policies should be adapted to the local employment relationship and supported by consistent documents and a lawful decision process.
