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 06/12/2025
Review the legal risks of hiring foreign workers in Vietnam, covering work authorization, employment contracts, payroll and ongoing compliance. Employers should align immigration documents, job duties, contract terms and payroll treatment. Changes of employer, role or location may require further review instead of assuming the original approval remains sufficient.
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 22/07/2023
A company's legal representative performs an important role in dealings with counterparties, authorities and courts. The company charter, appointment documents and allocation of authority should make that role clear. This guide helps owners distinguish the legal representative from an authorised delegate or external lawyer and identify the corporate records to check when appointing, replacing or temporarily delegating the role.
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.
Foreigners 21/10/2023
Legal services can help prevent a problem, structure a transaction or respond to a dispute. Choosing the right form of support begins with understanding what must be decided and what work is needed to implement that decision. A written opinion may identify risks without including contract drafting, filing or representation. A document review may focus on a particular issue rather than every aspect of a transaction. Clarify the expected deliverables and who will act on them.
Foreigners 18/09/2023
A Vietnam visa application begins with the proposed purpose of entry. Tourism, employment, investment, study and family visits should not be treated as interchangeable categories, and permission to enter is different from authorization to work. Review nationality, passport validity, intended activities, entry points and travel dates. Consider whether an e-visa, an exemption or a sponsored application is available for the situation. Use the current official requirements for the relevant route; an old table of visa durations can be misleading.

베트남 관련 법률 문제를 상담하려면 번역본뿐 아니라 원본 문서와 사실관계가 필요합니다. 계약서, 회사 기록 또는 가족관계 서류를 정리하고 당사자와 기한을 확인하세요. 상담 언어, 통역 필요성, 담당 변호사, 비용과 업무 범위를 사전에 합의하면 다음 절차를 판단하는 데 도움이 됩니다.
Foreigners 26/10/2023
Choosing an attorney firm should be based on the needs of the matter rather than a broad claim to be the best. A focused comparison helps a client understand who will do the work and what the engagement will cover. Explain the issue and ask which legal questions the firm would examine first. Relevant experience, staffing and the ability to explain uncertainty are more useful than an unqualified prediction of success. Check the lawyer's professional status and any conflict concerns.
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 29/08/2023
An inheritance dispute may concern the estate, a will, the identity of heirs or obligations left by the deceased. Establishing these facts is necessary before discussing a share of the estate or commencing a claim. The guide explains the main categories of dispute and the documents needed for legal review. The date of death, location of property and any overseas connection can materially affect the procedure and analysis.
Dispute 31/10/2026
When a Vietnamese supplier fails to deliver goods after payment, foreign buyers may face financial losses and business disruption. Learn what evidence to prepare, how to request delivery or a refund, and when to consider legal action.
Dispute 27/07/2023
Commercial arbitration depends on an eligible dispute and an effective arbitration agreement. Businesses should review the agreed institution or procedure, the scope of the clause and the relief sought before commencing a claim. The guide introduces institutional and ad hoc arbitration and explains why the contract and procedural choices should be reviewed early, alongside evidence, costs and the practical prospects of enforcing an award.
Divorce 29/08/2022
Custody decisions focus on the child's interests and the parents' actual ability to provide care. A higher income alone does not determine the outcome; daily involvement, stability, education, health and the child's age can all be relevant. 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 25/08/2022
The most useful way to prepare a divorce petition is to make the facts and requests understandable from the outset. Accurate civil-status records, a coherent chronology and clearly identified child or property issues can reduce avoidable requests for clarification. 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 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.
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.
Investment 07/09/2023
Adding a new business activity can affect more than the wording of a certificate. The proposed activity must be compared with the existing investment project, enterprise registration, premises and any operating licence. Prepare a plain-language description of the services or goods, customer groups and revenue model. Similar commercial descriptions may fall under different regulatory conditions. Foreign market-access requirements and conditions applying to all operators should be reviewed separately.
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 16/12/2023
The term investment licence can conceal several different procedures. A project may involve investment-policy approval, an investment registration certificate, enterprise registration and sector permissions, depending on the current framework and its facts. Describe the activity, investor, ownership, location and scale. Determine which procedures apply and which authority handles each. An approval described in general commercial language should not be treated as a universal document authorizing every project.
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.
