Explore corporate and investment matters, commercial disputes, employment, immigration, property and family law. Our articles help you identify legal risks, organize relevant documents and prepare questions for a lawyer. For matters involving Vietnam and another country, start with a clear assessment of the applicable procedure and your priorities.
Enterprise 15/11/2025
Understand employment contract types in Vietnam, essential terms, probation, renewal risks and practical contract review for foreign employers. Contract terms should reflect the actual role, compensation, working arrangements and applicable employment protections. Review confidentiality, termination and work authorization together with the supporting HR policies.
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 25/03/2026
Review Vietnam franchising rules, including the franchise model, operating history, disclosure, registration and key contractual issues. The applicable obligations depend on the direction and structure of the franchise. Check brand rights, disclosure materials, operational scope and dispute terms before granting or accepting commercial rights.
Enterprise 26/10/2026
Explore legal requirements for foreign investors in Vietnam, including market access, investment structures, IRC and ERC roles and continuing compliance. Compare new-company, acquisition and cooperation routes against the actual business plan. Confirm the approvals and filing sequence under current law, then prepare for capital, employment and operational duties after establishment.
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 07/09/2026
Review inherited property matters in Vietnam for foreign clients, including heirs, estate documents, asset registration, overseas authorization and disputes. Identify the deceased's property separately from co-owned or marital assets. The procedure should account for the will, all relevant heirs and whether the beneficiary may register the asset or needs another lawful route.
Foreigners 01/08/2025
A judgment obtained abroad does not automatically produce recovery from a debtor in Vietnam. Recognition, where required, and civil judgment enforcement are separate stages, each with its own conditions and evidence. Review the originating court, finality, service on the debtor and the relevant treaty or other legal basis. Identify the correct Vietnamese jurisdiction and filing requirements for the case. A business should not assume that every application belongs in the same city or succeeds under a general principle of international comity.
Foreigners 20/08/2026
Understand diversion measures for foreign juvenile offenders in Vietnam, including eligibility, supervision, rehabilitation and practical legal preparation. Diversion depends on statutory conditions and the authority's assessment of the child and offence. Families should obtain advice before important admissions or consent and prepare relevant educational, family and supervision records.
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 22/08/2023
A property sale dispute often turns on what was promised, what was delivered and what was paid. Organising the contract, payment records, handover documents and correspondence is an essential first step. The article explains how the claim should be defined before proceedings begin. The type of property and transaction may affect formalities and available remedies, so the contract should be assessed in context.
Dispute 28/08/2023
A land dispute can concern boundaries, land use rights, a transaction or inheritance. Correctly identifying the dispute and the available land records is essential before selecting an administrative or court route. The discussion focuses on case preparation and the distinction between land use rights and related contractual or family claims. Current land legislation and procedural competence should be checked before any application is filed.
Dispute 21/08/2023
A civil dispute should be defined by the right or obligation in conflict and the remedy sought. Identifying the transaction, property or relationship involved helps determine the relevant evidence and procedure. The article introduces common dispute categories while distinguishing civil, commercial and labour claims. A clear chronology and document list help a lawyer assess the appropriate route and any urgent action required.
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 17/07/2023
Property left unresolved after divorce may still require a separate assessment of ownership, earlier agreements and the terms of the divorce judgment. Begin by identifying the assets and the precise relief that remains in dispute. The discussion follows the dispute from document preparation to settlement and court proceedings, highlighting the importance of tracing contributions and checking whether an issue has already been conclusively decided.
Divorce 12/11/2022
The distinction between consensual and unilateral divorce is based on the parties' real agreement and the issues before the court. Understanding that difference helps spouses prepare the correct request and avoid assuming that one signature can replace the other's consent. 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 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.
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.
Investment 22/09/2023
A foreign investor may contribute to a new enterprise or invest in an existing company. These are different transactions, and they should not be forced into a single sequence of obtaining certificates and transferring funds. Identify whether the proposal is a subscription for new capital, a purchase from an existing owner or an asset contribution. Review foreign ownership conditions, the target's activities and the required corporate approvals. The legal form of the company alone does not determine all capital requirements.
Investment 20/11/2023
Foreign direct investment involves a lasting participation in a business or project abroad. For a Vietnam investment, the practical legal questions concern the proposed structure, activities, funding and degree of control. A new enterprise, share acquisition and contractual cooperation can allocate control and risk differently. Evaluate the investor's objectives alongside market-access conditions and sector rules. The economic description of FDI does not establish a universal ownership percentage or licence requirement.
Investment 15/08/2024
An acquisition can provide access to an existing business, but it also requires careful assessment of that business's legal position. A share purchase, subscription and company merger allocate risks differently. Review ownership, corporate authority, licences, land or premises, material contracts, employment, tax and disputes. Identify missing records and contingent obligations. The structure and price should be considered alongside legal findings rather than before the scope of due diligence is agreed.
