LawyersInVietnam.com shares practical legal guidance from Jurion & Partners Law Firm for foreign individuals, international investors and businesses in Vietnam. 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 22/01/2026
Review shareholder dispute risks in Vietnamese companies, from capital and voting rights to governance documents, negotiation and formal proceedings. Collect the charter, ownership records, approvals and correspondence before taking unilateral action. A clear assessment of authority and dispute clauses can help preserve operations while the parties consider settlement or legal remedies.
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 12/10/2026
Assess legal representation in Vietnam without travel, covering remote tasks, documents, authorization, communication and risks for overseas clients. Begin with the facts, deadlines and scans, then confirm which originals or formalities are needed. A clear engagement should explain the representative's powers, reporting process and any personal participation that remains necessary.
Enterprise 26/09/2023
Establishing a foreign-invested enterprise requires a legal assessment of the planned activities and the investor's structure. Selecting a company name or signing a lease before that assessment can create avoidable commitments. Consider the number of owners, governance, funding and future transfers when comparing an LLC with a joint-stock company. A representative office has a different purpose from a trading enterprise. Review the permitted scope of activity and foreign ownership conditions before deciding on the structure.
Foreigners 24/10/2026
Review foreign property ownership in Vietnam, including buyer eligibility, project restrictions, ownership terms, deposits and purchase document checks. Check the particular unit and seller before committing funds. The legal review should distinguish housing rights from land rights and connect ownership eligibility with contract, payment and registration requirements.
Foreigners 02/11/2024
Legal assistance with a temporary residence card application should begin with an eligibility assessment. Preparing an attractive file cannot replace the conditions attached to the relevant immigration category. The work may include reviewing the basis for the application, checking records, advising on document formalities and assisting with submission within an agreed authority. Translation and government fees should be clearly identified in the engagement rather than assumed to be included.
Foreigners 14/08/2023
Probation for a foreign worker should be planned alongside lawful permission to work and the proposed employment terms. The label 'probation' does not give an employer freedom to set any duration or ignore applicable labour protections. The article explains the issues to settle before work starts and the records to keep during assessment. The applicable duration depends on the position and legal framework, not simply the employee's foreign nationality.
Foreigners 05/07/2024
Les clients francophones peuvent avoir besoin de relier des documents étrangers aux procédures vietnamiennes à Hô Chi Minh-Ville. Commencez par un résumé précis, les pièces complètes et leur usage prévu. Clarifiez qui conseille, qui organise les traductions ou l’authentification, les éventuelles comparutions, les livrables et les frais. Les questions de droit français doivent faire l’objet d’une répartition explicite des responsabilités.
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 22/01/2026
Understand criminal defence support for foreign defendants in Vietnam, including procedural rights, interpretation, evidence and early case assessment. Clarify the person's procedural status and obtain advice before important statements or submissions. Defence strategy should be based on the allegation, evidence and applicable safeguards, with coordination for interpretation and consular contact where relevant.
Dispute 23/10/2023
A deposit dispute may arise when a proposed property transfer cannot proceed or one party refuses to complete it. The legal effect depends on the agreement, the conduct of the parties and the status of the proposed transaction. Identify the property, the party receiving the deposit, the signing authority and the conditions for the main transfer. An apparent promise to sell does not establish that the transaction is legally available. Keep advertisements and representations alongside the signed documents.
Dispute 26/03/2024
A business dispute can sometimes be resolved by agreement, but a formal remedy may also be necessary. Choosing a route requires attention to the contract, the dispute and the result that can realistically be implemented. Negotiation keeps the discussion with the parties, while mediation introduces a neutral facilitator. A proposed settlement should address authority to sign, payment or performance, defaults and enforcement. The legal effect of an agreement depends on its form and any available recognition procedure.
Divorce 22/08/2022
Not every unsuccessful divorce application involves the same legal problem. A statutory restriction on a husband's right to request divorce, insufficient evidence of the grounds and an incomplete or incorrectly filed petition each require a different response. 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 25/08/2022
There is no guaranteed shortcut to a unilateral divorce. Efficient preparation means identifying the appropriate procedure, obtaining reliable documents and presenting the requested relief clearly, rather than assuming a lawyer can bypass court requirements or compel an immediate 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.
Divorce 11/03/2026
Understand divorce annotation in Vietnam, from foreign divorce documents and civil-status records to filing preparation and the limits of recognition. Recording a foreign divorce and enforcing its financial or other orders are distinct questions. Check the current authority, document formalities and intended use before registering a new marriage or relying on the decision.
Divorce 08/08/2022
Living together as husband and wife does not automatically create the same property regime as a registered marriage. Resolving ownership requires attention to the parties' agreements, acquisition records and contributions, while children's rights remain a separate issue requiring protection. 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 06/03/2026
Review conditions and documents for a foreign company's representative office in Vietnam, including permitted scope, parent-company records and premises. A representative office serves permitted liaison and promotional functions rather than ordinary revenue-generating business. Review eligibility and the parent company's documents before choosing this structure or committing to an office lease.
Investment 09/11/2023
A securities investment company is a regulated structure and should not be confused with an ordinary company that invests its own surplus funds. The proposed model determines which specialized rules and approvals require examination. Clarify whether the proposal involves a public or private structure, who will provide capital and who will manage it. Review the roles of any fund manager, custodian and governing body. Investor eligibility and capital evidence should be assessed under the current securities framework.
Investment 17/10/2026
Review industrial land and factory lease due diligence in Vietnam before paying a deposit, including lessor rights, site use, approvals and contract risks. Legal, technical and commercial reviews should support the same project. Verify the underlying rights and planned manufacturing use, then address document delivery, safety responsibilities, deposits and exit protections in the lease.
Investment 24/11/2025
Review legal steps for a wholly foreign-owned company in Vietnam, including market access, investment registration, enterprise records and compliance. Confirm which approvals apply to the actual project rather than relying on one filing sequence. Investor documents, premises, capital and governance arrangements should support the intended business after registration.
