Explore corporate and investment matters, commercial disputes, employment, immigration, property and family law.

Enterprise 21/07/2023
A business merger transfers the absorbed company's rights and obligations to a surviving company. The transaction therefore requires attention to liabilities, employees, creditors and approvals as well as the commercial terms of the deal. This guide distinguishes a merger from consolidation and highlights the work needed before signing and completion. A well-prepared transaction plan also accounts for competition review, regulated activities and post-completion integration.
Enterprise 08/10/2026
Review foreign-company branch establishment in Vietnam, including eligibility, permitted activities, parent-company documents, premises and continuing duties. A branch is a licensed extension of the parent company, not an automatic substitute for a local subsidiary. Confirm sector feasibility and authority limits before choosing the structure or committing to office costs.
Enterprise 24/01/2026
Understand business licensing in Vietnam, including sector conditions, foreign investment issues, application risks and continuing compliance after approval. Identify each permission required for the actual activity rather than relying only on the company registration. Revisit licensing when ownership, location, operating scope or the regulatory framework changes.
Enterprise 04/01/2024
The term FDI enterprise describes foreign participation but does not create a single package of rights and obligations for every business. Ownership, activities and transaction history should be reviewed together. Identify direct and indirect foreign ownership, the company form and the registered project or business activities. Conditions may differ by sector and investment route. A business should not assume that all foreign-invested companies face the same ownership limit or minimum capital.
Foreigners 11/11/2024
Consular legalization concerns the formal recognition of signatures, seals or official capacity on a document for use abroad. It does not, by itself, confirm the truth of every statement or establish that a marriage application meets all substantive conditions. Identify the record required for the actual registration procedure and obtain it from the appropriate source. Review validity, name consistency and whether an exemption from legalization applies. An apostille issued abroad should not be assumed sufficient for use in Vietnam without checking the applicable framework.
Foreigners 21/09/2026
Understand remote legal representation in Vietnam, including suitable matters, authorization scope, foreign documents and limits for personal-status cases. Agree on local tasks and reporting while retaining control over major decisions. Some procedures, particularly divorce-related participation, have limits that a broad power of attorney cannot remove.
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 06/07/2026
Review labour contract issues for foreigners in Vietnam, including bilingual terms, work permits, insurance, benefits, termination and practical disputes. Compare the written offer with the signed terms and actual role. Work authorization, compensation, internal policies and final-settlement obligations should be considered together before signing or ending employment.
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.
Dispute 12/10/2023
Commercial arbitration begins with a valid basis for arbitral jurisdiction. The parties' agreement, the nature of the dispute and the applicable rules should be reviewed before a claim is submitted. Read the clause with the complete contract and any incorporated documents. Identify the institution or ad hoc arrangement, seat, language, number of arbitrators and scope of disputes covered. A dispute-resolution label alone may not resolve uncertainty about the agreed procedure.
Dispute 25/07/2023
A criminal matter with foreign elements can raise questions about jurisdiction, language, evidence abroad and the person's procedural status. Nationality alone does not determine guilt or the outcome of a case. This guide focuses on practical issues for suspects, defendants, victims and their families. It replaces broad assumptions about foreign nationals with a case-specific approach to documents, communication and lawful representation.
Dispute 29/05/2024
Individual labor disputes can involve unequal access to records and different accounts of the employment relationship. Legal support should begin with a clear description of the claim and the evidence available to each party. A lawyer can review the contract, identify legal and factual issues, calculate a payment claim and assess any preliminary procedure. Missing documents and inconsistent dates should be addressed early. Litigation should not be presented as an automatic next step for every workplace disagreement.
Divorce 15/10/2022
Choosing the competent court is a distinct step from proving the grounds for divorce. International jurisdiction, territorial rules and the court structure must be checked together, including changes introduced by the 2025 amendments to civil procedure. 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 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 31/01/2026
Assess whether two foreigners can seek divorce in Vietnam, focusing on jurisdiction, overseas documents, residence and practical filing challenges. Nationality, residence and the legal connection to Vietnam must be examined together. Working in Vietnam alone should not be treated as automatic court jurisdiction, and document readiness does not replace that assessment.
Divorce 25/08/2022
Before pursuing consensual divorce, confirm that both spouses agree on the essential issues and understand the court's role. Document readiness, participation requirements and any outstanding arrangements for children or property can matter more than an advertised completion period. 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 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 18/08/2026
Identify legal risks for foreign investors in Vietnam, including unsuitable structures, conditional sectors, contracts, property and ongoing obligations. A promising commercial proposal still needs a workable legal foundation. Review approvals, signing authority, funds flow and operational permissions before relying on informal assurances or committing to a local arrangement.
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 24/07/2026
Review employment law issues for foreign companies in Vietnam, from contracts and internal rules to work permits, termination and labor dispute planning. Coordinate management, HR and legal records before hiring or restructuring. International policies should be adapted to the local employment relationship and supported by consistent documents and a lawful decision process.
