Review foreign-company branch establishment in Vietnam, including eligibility, permitted activities, parent-company documents, premises and continuing duties. A branch is a licensed extension of the parent company, not an automatic substitute for a local subsidiary. Confirm sector feasibility and authority limits before choosing the structure or committing to office costs.

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 26/05/2026
Review commercial lease risks for foreign businesses in Vietnam, including landlord authority, premises suitability, deposits, licensing and exit rights. A usable business address must fit the specific activity and licensing plan. Review the property documents and allocate renovation, safety, tax-invoice and termination responsibilities before paying a substantial deposit.
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.

Un client francophone a besoin d’une analyse liée aux faits et à la procédure applicable au Vietnam. Préparez un résumé, les documents complets, les notifications et les échéances. Clarifiez la langue de travail, les traductions, les livrables, les honoraires et le rôle de chaque intervenant avant de confier une consultation, une rédaction ou une représentation.

Removing a senior director from a corporate position does not by itself answer how an employment contract should end. The appointment, employment relationship and any shareholder role should be reviewed separately before a decision is communicated. Examine the company charter, appointment resolution, delegation of authority and employment contract. A board or owner may have a corporate power to change management while the company still has employment obligations. The individual's actual status determines which procedures need analysis.
Foreigners 09/11/2023
Foreign nationals should check the legal basis for entering Vietnam before making travel arrangements. Requirements can depend on nationality, travel document, purpose and the route used to enter. Review passport validity, the issued visa or applicable exemption and the permitted entry point. Names and dates should be consistent. An approval or visa does not remove every entry condition, and past immigration problems may require individual advice.
Foreigners 11/11/2024
Consular legalization concerns the formal recognition of signatures, seals or official capacity on a document for use abroad. It does not, by itself, confirm the truth of every statement or establish that a marriage application meets all substantive conditions. Identify the record required for the actual registration procedure and obtain it from the appropriate source. Review validity, name consistency and whether an exemption from legalization applies. An apostille issued abroad should not be assumed sufficient for use in Vietnam without checking the applicable framework.
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 10/10/2023
An intellectual property dispute may concern ownership, a licence, unauthorized use or the scope of protection. Copyright, trademarks, patents and confidential business information raise different evidence and enforcement questions. Identify who owns the right and collect registrations, creation records, assignments or licence terms. Document how the other party used the material, sign or technology and distinguish suspected infringement from a disagreement about a contract.
Dispute 24/11/2025
Assess cross-border contract disputes in Vietnam through contract review, evidence preservation, negotiation, arbitration and court strategy. The contract's governing law and dispute clause can shape the available remedies. Preserve delivery records, payment evidence and notices before terminating performance or sending a formal claim.
Dispute 29/05/2024
Individual labor disputes can involve unequal access to records and different accounts of the employment relationship. Legal support should begin with a clear description of the claim and the evidence available to each party. A lawyer can review the contract, identify legal and factual issues, calculate a payment claim and assess any preliminary procedure. Missing documents and inconsistent dates should be addressed early. Litigation should not be presented as an automatic next step for every workplace disagreement.
Divorce 26/12/2025
Explore common legal issues in international marriages, including residence, applicable law, children, assets and recognition of divorce decisions. A marriage can connect several legal systems without producing the same rights in each country. Review nationality, residence, overseas documents and asset location before assuming a local decision will have effect abroad.
Divorce 02/08/2022
A divorce involving another country requires more than translating a petition. A lawyer can help identify the appropriate procedure, review where proceedings may be brought and organise the documents needed to address marital status, children and property. 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 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 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 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 28/11/2023
Foreign individuals and foreign-invested enterprises should not assume that the same property rights are available to each of them. Housing ownership, a commercial lease and land use for an investment project involve different legal questions. Review nationality or corporate status, the type of asset, project eligibility and the proposed use. A foreign individual should not treat an agreement with a nominee as equivalent to a lawful registered right. The available structure must fit both the investor and the asset.
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.
Investment 12/09/2023
A creditor's need to recover an unpaid debt does not justify threats, pressure tactics or the use of a prohibited business service. A restriction on the debt collection service business is different from the lawful enforcement of a creditor's contractual rights. Identify the contract, delivery or transfer of funds, maturity date and payments already made. A disputed invoice, an overdue loan and a debt acknowledged in a settlement require different factual analysis. Check who owes the debt and whether the claimant has standing to demand payment.
