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 09/08/2023
Bringing a foreign investor into an existing Vietnamese business requires a review of its legal form, ownership, activities and approvals. A transaction described commercially as a conversion may involve several distinct legal steps. The guide explains the preparation work needed before choosing between a capital contribution, transfer or restructuring. It does not assume that every privately owned business can accept investment through the same procedure.
Enterprise 11/12/2023
Business consolidation combines companies into a new structure and should be distinguished from a merger into an existing company or a simple share acquisition. The chosen form affects documentation and the handling of rights and obligations. Due diligence should cover corporate status, debts, tax, contracts, employment, assets and licences. Identify disputes and contingent obligations as well as commercial benefits. A larger combined business can inherit unresolved problems along with useful resources.
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.
Foreigners 11/06/2026
Understand criminal defence assistance for foreigners in Vietnam, from police contact and procedural status to documents, interpretation and lawful support. Seek clarity about the person's role in the procedure before important statements are made. Preserve relevant records and coordinate advice with interpretation, family communication and consular safeguards where appropriate.
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 26/03/2024
An adopted child's inheritance position requires attention to the legally established adoption and the estate in question. A family disagreement should be assessed using records rather than assumptions about biological and adoptive relationships. Collect the adoption registration, death record, will and other family documents. Distinguish the deceased's property from jointly held property and identify outstanding obligations. The existence of a will may require a separate assessment of validity and protected interests.
Foreigners 16/03/2026
Find practical guidance on English-speaking lawyers in Vietnam, available legal services, fee transparency and preparation for foreign clients. Compare relevant expertise and communication rather than relying on broad marketing claims. Prepare the documents, deadlines and desired outcome so counsel can propose a suitable scope and explain realistic procedural options.
Dispute 16/10/2023
A loan dispute requires a clear account of what was advanced, when repayment became due and what has already been paid. The existence of a signed contract is helpful, but the surrounding payment evidence may be equally important. Separate principal, agreed interest, alleged default charges and other sums. Match each figure to the loan agreement and bank or receipt records. A disputed interest provision requires legal review rather than an assumption that every amount written in the contract is enforceable.
Dispute 09/08/2023
A labour dispute involving a foreign employee, an overseas employer or evidence abroad requires both an employment-law and a procedural assessment. The first step is to identify the relationship, claim and connection with Vietnam. The article focuses on the practical documents needed to assess the dispute and distinguishes individual from collective procedures rather than treating all foreign-related employment claims as the same type of case.
Dispute 17/08/2022
A property dispute often turns on how an asset was acquired and what the documents show. Ownership records, gifts, inheritances, contributions and financial obligations should be examined before either spouse assumes that a particular asset must be divided equally. 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.
Dispute 06/09/2023
A divorce judgment does not always resolve every disagreement about property. A later claim may concern assets omitted from the proceedings, competing ownership claims or an agreement that one former spouse has not performed. Distinguish common property from separate property using the acquisition history, source of funds, gifts, inheritance records and any marital property agreement. A name on a certificate is one part of the evidence; it does not answer every question about contributions or ownership.
Divorce 27/08/2022
An absent spouse does not automatically prevent divorce, but the court cannot ignore procedural safeguards. The applicant should establish the respondent's known location, provide reliable information for notice and distinguish absence from a formal declaration that a person is missing. 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.
Divorce 10/10/2022
Consensual divorce can be more focused when the spouses have genuinely resolved the relevant issues. Its duration still depends on document preparation, court review and participation, so a general estimate should not be treated as a guaranteed completion date. 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 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.
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 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 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 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.
