For matters involving Vietnam and another country, start with a clear assessment of the applicable procedure and your priorities.
Enterprise 26/12/2025
Spot legal red flags in sale contracts, including vague obligations, unbalanced payment terms, weak warranties and unclear termination provisions. A useful review connects the wording to the actual transaction and expected evidence of performance. Clarify delivery, acceptance, remedies and dispute clauses before signing rather than relying on informal assurances.
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.
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 18/08/2026
Use a pre-FDI legal checklist for Vietnam covering market access, structure, approvals, capital accounts, local partners, contracts and compliance. Confirm the intended business activity and legal route before transferring funds. Due diligence and clear documentation can identify licensing, ownership and partner risks that are harder to correct after operations begin.
Foreigners 22/06/2026
Plan remote legal representation in Vietnam through case review, document preparation, clear authorization and controlled reporting for clients abroad. Agree on the scope before signing a power of attorney. The client should retain control over settlements and other major decisions, while counsel checks whether personal attendance or authenticated originals are required.
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 27/01/2026
Prepare for marriage registration between a foreigner and Vietnamese citizen, with guidance on civil-status documents, filing and personal attendance. Confirm the parties' eligibility and the correct document route before travel. Previous marriages, inconsistent names and foreign-issued records can require additional preparation even when the couple agrees on the registration.
Foreigners 27/05/2024
A bonus dispute often turns on what was promised and which conditions were met. A discretionary award should be distinguished from a payment required by an agreed term or applicable policy. Review the employment contract, collective agreement where relevant, published bonus rules and communications. Identify who could approve the award, the performance period and the criteria used. A general expectation of an annual bonus is different from a documented entitlement.
Dispute 29/07/2023
Dispute lawyers assess legal rights, organise evidence and help clients compare negotiation, mediation, arbitration and litigation. Their role includes managing procedural risks and explaining the strengths and limitations of a claim. The discussion describes the legal work involved in a dispute rather than promising success. Clients can use it to prepare the contracts, correspondence and questions needed for an informed first discussion.
Dispute 10/08/2023
An investment dispute should be assessed against the contract, parties, applicable law and agreed forum. Negotiation, mediation, arbitration and litigation each raise different procedural and enforcement questions. The article highlights the importance of checking jurisdiction and any relevant treaty or state-related arrangement rather than assuming that the same forum is available for every dispute involving a foreign investor.
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 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.
Divorce 01/11/2025
A foreign spouse's refusal to communicate does not remove the need for lawful procedure. A case involving absence requires careful attention to jurisdiction, service and the conditions under which proceedings can continue. Document the spouse's current or last known address, residence history and attempts to communicate. Explain any uncertainty rather than supplying an address known to be inaccurate. The court's assessment of notification and participation cannot be replaced by an informal message between the spouses.
Divorce 07/11/2022
A request for direct custody should demonstrate the care a parent can actually provide. Financial records help, but they should be considered alongside time, housing, schooling, emotional support and the child's established routines and relationships. The discussion considers the child’s welfare, the evidence parents can prepare and the practical effect of the proposed arrangement. It also distinguishes direct care from continuing support and contact obligations, so the request can be assessed on its own facts.
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 27/09/2022
A spouse living in another country can affect jurisdiction, service and the time needed to prepare a divorce. Establishing the overseas address and reviewing foreign-issued records early helps identify procedural difficulties before a petition is submitted. 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.
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.
Investment 15/11/2025
Explore foreign investment structures in Vietnam, market access conditions, licensing, incentives and the legal risks international investors should review. A new company, acquisition and joint venture can create different approval and compliance obligations. Confirm business activities, capital arrangements, location and operational permissions before making binding commitments.
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.
