Enterprise 11/01/2026
Review legal risks when changing land use purpose in Vietnam, including planning consistency, investment approvals, financial duties and authority review. A proposed conversion should be assessed together with the existing land rights and investment project. Confirm whether approval is required and which contractual or financial consequences may follow before using the site differently.

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 26/10/2023
Finding legal assistance in Vietnam requires matching the lawyer's work to the matter. A personal recommendation or online listing can be a starting point, but the proposed engagement deserves its own assessment. Ask who will review the documents, which procedures the work may involve and what information is missing. A lawyer should be able to explain the options and limits in language the client understands. Avoid assuming that experience in one field establishes suitability for every legal problem.
Enterprise 15/08/2023
A shareholder's rights depend on the class of shares, the company charter and applicable company law. Understanding that combination is important before subscribing for shares, voting or planning a transfer. The guide introduces ordinary, founding and preference shareholder issues and helps investors identify the corporate documents and restrictions to review before exercising a right or entering a transaction.
Foreigners 25/05/2026
Understand social insurance issues for foreign employees in Vietnam, including participation, payroll records, benefits, termination and employer compliance. Eligibility and contributions should be reviewed with the contract, assignment and applicable exclusions. Employees should check actual participation records, while employers coordinate payroll, final settlement and related HR documents.
Foreigners 23/09/2023
Employment compensation covers several different obligations. Salary, overtime pay, bonuses, severance and compensation following unlawful termination should be identified and calculated separately rather than grouped into a single figure. Compare the employment contract, collective agreement where applicable, workplace policies, attendance records and payslips. A discretionary bonus and an amount promised under an agreed policy may raise different issues. For an alleged underpayment, show the period, calculation and payment already received.
Foreigners 17/01/2024
Labor disputes can concern pay, working time, workplace conditions, insurance or termination. The appropriate response depends on the claim and evidence, not simply on which party first raises a complaint. Review the employment contract and relevant policies and identify the specific obligation alleged to have been breached. For a payment claim, prepare a period-by-period calculation. For a conduct or termination issue, preserve the decisions, notices and supporting records.
Foreigners 16/10/2023
Foreign clients may need legal support for a business transaction, employment issue, family matter or dispute in Vietnam. The useful starting point is to identify the decision that needs to be made and the documents on which advice will depend. A consultation, contract review, negotiation and court engagement involve different responsibilities. Ask which lawyer will handle the work, what information is needed and which stages are included. Avoid selecting a service solely on an advertised outcome or a general claim to cover every field.
Dispute 19/03/2024
A person acting for another should understand the limits of the authority granted. A dispute can arise when a representative signs a contract or takes another step beyond those limits. Review the written authorization, its duration and any conditions, transaction-value limits or restrictions on delegation. Compare it with the actual act and the documents shown to the counterparty. Internal approval and external representative authority should be considered separately.
Dispute 22/07/2023
Commercial arbitration can offer parties a private and flexible process for an eligible dispute, but its suitability depends on the arbitration agreement, costs, evidence and enforcement needs. It is not automatically faster or preferable in every case. The article explains the potential advantages and the questions businesses should consider when drafting a dispute clause or responding to an existing claim, without promising a particular timetable or result.
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 24/07/2023
A labour dispute may concern pay, dismissal, benefits or other obligations arising from employment. Classifying it correctly helps the parties identify the relevant procedure, evidence and available forum before taking action. The discussion explains how these routes relate to one another and why an employment contract, payroll record, written decision and chronology should be reviewed before selecting a dispute resolution strategy.
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 21/06/2023
A divorce agreement between spouses does not automatically extinguish a creditor's rights. Responsibility for a debt must be assessed through its purpose, the circumstances of borrowing and the legal basis for treating it as a shared or personal obligation. 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 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 26/08/2022
Some divorce issues appear straightforward until disagreements about children, documents or assets emerge. A lawyer can help assess those risks, explain available options and prepare a consistent position, without promising that representation will secure a particular result. 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.
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 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 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 07/09/2023
Adding a new business activity can affect more than the wording of a certificate. The proposed activity must be compared with the existing investment project, enterprise registration, premises and any operating licence. Prepare a plain-language description of the services or goods, customer groups and revenue model. Similar commercial descriptions may fall under different regulatory conditions. Foreign market-access requirements and conditions applying to all operators should be reviewed separately.
