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 26/08/2026
Review ongoing legal support for foreign-owned enterprises in Vietnam, covering contracts, employment, governance, licensing and early risk response. Legal work continues after incorporation. Assign clear responsibility for document review, authority changes and compliance updates so management can make decisions before a notice, complaint or dispute becomes urgent.
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.
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 01/11/2023
A business can encounter legal risks when it is established and as its activities develop. Registration is an initial step; it does not replace ongoing review of contracts, governance, employment and operating conditions. Compare the registered activities with the goods or services supplied, the premises used and the staff employed. Check corporate decisions and the authority of those signing contracts. Sector conditions and capital requirements should be assessed for the actual activity rather than copied from an old general checklist.
Foreigners 16/08/2022
An international couple may agree to divorce yet still face document and participation requirements. Before filing a joint application, confirm the Vietnamese court's jurisdiction and prepare clear arrangements for children, property and any unresolved financial obligations. 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.
Foreigners 16/08/2025
A marital property agreement can clarify financial arrangements, but it must be assessed alongside the rules governing the particular property. A foreign spouse's eligibility to own housing or hold another right cannot be created merely by agreement. List existing and proposed assets, the source of funds and any finance. Review whether each party can lawfully acquire the interest proposed. The agreement should accurately describe separate and shared interests rather than promise rights inconsistent with land or housing law.
Foreigners 17/01/2024
Labor disputes can concern pay, working time, workplace conditions, insurance or termination. The appropriate response depends on the claim and evidence, not simply on which party first raises a complaint. Review the employment contract and relevant policies and identify the specific obligation alleged to have been breached. For a payment claim, prepare a period-by-period calculation. For a conduct or termination issue, preserve the decisions, notices and supporting records.
Foreigners 01/08/2025
A judgment obtained abroad does not automatically produce recovery from a debtor in Vietnam. Recognition, where required, and civil judgment enforcement are separate stages, each with its own conditions and evidence. Review the originating court, finality, service on the debtor and the relevant treaty or other legal basis. Identify the correct Vietnamese jurisdiction and filing requirements for the case. A business should not assume that every application belongs in the same city or succeeds under a general principle of international comity.
Dispute 19/08/2024
Ending a foreign employee's contract can affect both employment rights and the basis for work and residence in Vietnam. These issues should be coordinated, but one should not be used to bypass the other. Review whether the proposed end arises from agreement, expiry, unilateral action, discipline or a workforce change. Each route requires its own analysis. A force-majeure label or an immigration issue should not be assumed to remove all procedural and payment obligations.
Dispute 20/06/2026
Understand litigation support for contested unilateral divorce in Vietnam, including evidence, an absent spouse, children, assets, debts and court procedure. A disputed divorce requires specific claims and organized proof. Prepare the marital history, court papers and evidence concerning care, ownership and debt while identifying the limits of proxy 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.
Dispute 25/10/2025
A business receiving a lawsuit or procedural notice should identify the required response promptly. A calm, organized review is more useful than an immediate denial or an informal promise to resolve everything later. Keep the envelope or service record, claim documents and relevant contracts, correspondence, invoices and performance evidence. Identify the person authorized to instruct counsel. A lawyer can assess jurisdiction, deadlines, defenses and any counterclaim from the complete record.
Divorce 21/10/2022
Legal assistance in a divorce should be matched to the family's actual issues. An initial review can distinguish the appropriate procedure, identify missing records and clarify which child, property or financial matters need agreement or a court decision. 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 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 12/08/2022
Unilateral divorce begins with a clear request and evidence supporting the applicable legal grounds. Preparing identity and marriage records is only part of the task: the petition should also explain any requests concerning children, support, assets and debts. 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 29/10/2022
Choosing a divorce lawyer involves understanding the work required in the specific case. Document review, legal analysis, negotiation and procedural assistance can all be relevant, but the scope of the engagement should remain clear and realistic. 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 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.
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 13/11/2023
A construction investment project requires a coordinated legal and technical plan. The appropriate documents and approvals depend on the project, funding, site and nature of the works. Review the proposed land use, planning status, investment arrangements and technical studies. Identify which design, environmental, fire-safety and construction requirements apply. Work with technical advisers so the legal filing reflects the actual design and intended operation.
