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 11/12/2023
Converting a joint-stock company into a single-member limited liability company changes its ownership and governance structure. The commercial aim and the method of reaching a single owner should be assessed before the conversion documents are drafted. Review the shareholder register, share classes, transfer arrangements and restrictions. A conversion following an acquisition requires reliable evidence of the completed ownership change. Any foreign investor involvement should be reviewed alongside the corporate procedure.
Enterprise 22/12/2025
Understand foreign employee recruitment in Vietnam, work authorization, contracts, workplace rights and practical immigration compliance issues. Recruitment and work authorization should be planned together. Compare the approved role, actual duties, employing entity and residence documents, then keep HR records consistent throughout the assignment.
Enterprise 31/12/2025
Assess key legal considerations before starting a business in Vietnam, including structure, licensing, ownership, premises and ongoing compliance. Company registration is only one part of a workable market-entry plan. Match the proposed activities with available structures, operational permissions, capital commitments and the legal documents needed after establishment.

Los clientes de habla española que gestionan asuntos relacionados con Vietnam necesitan una exposición clara de los hechos y los documentos pertinentes. Cuando intervienen varios países, conviene distinguir las cuestiones jurídicas, la ubicación de las partes y los procedimientos existentes. Este artículo explica cómo preparar la consulta, organizar traducciones y acordar el alcance del trabajo, los costes y la comunicación con el abogado.
Foreigners 29/11/2025
Review foreign capital contributions and share acquisitions in Vietnam's conditional sectors, including market access, approvals and transaction risks. Ownership caps, business scope, land-related factors and sector rules may affect the deal. Complete due diligence and confirm the approval route before committing to payment and post-closing changes.
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 11/11/2024
A foreigner preparing to register a marriage in Vietnam should obtain the document requirements for the couple's actual situation. Nationality, residence and previous marriages can affect the evidence needed. Start with identity and residence information and evidence of marital status. Explain any previous marriage, divorce or widowhood. Check the prescribed application and any required medical or other supporting evidence rather than treating an online list as universally mandatory.
Dispute 03/07/2024
A contract dispute between Vietnamese and foreign traders requires a review of both the commercial obligations and the dispute clause. Foreign participation does not by itself establish arbitration jurisdiction. Identify the institution or ad hoc arrangement, seat, applicable rules and language. Governing law and the law relevant to the arbitration may raise separate questions. Check whether the parties and dispute fall within the agreement before submitting a claim.
Dispute 25/03/2026
Understand why litigation preparation starts before a dispute, through contract design, evidence records, notices and proactive business risk review. Prepare the contract and document process while the parties still cooperate. Early legal review can clarify forum choices and remedies without implying that preparation controls a court's decision or guarantees recovery.
Dispute 15/08/2024
International sales disputes can concern delivery, quality, payment or contract termination. The legal analysis begins with the complete agreement, the parties' places of business and the law or rules that govern the sale. Review purchase orders, specifications, delivery terms, transport records, inspection results and payment documents. Identify notices of non-conformity or default and when they were sent. A disagreement about goods should not be reduced to a general statement that a contract was breached.
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.
Divorce 02/08/2022
A spouse living overseas or unable to attend creates practical questions about notice, evidence and personal participation. The court must assess the legal requirements for proceeding in absence; a lawyer cannot simply attend as a substitute for a spouse in the divorce itself. 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 11/11/2022
A final divorce judgment does not make every parenting arrangement permanent. A later request to change the direct caregiver requires a legal basis and evidence focused on the child's interests, rather than dissatisfaction with the original result alone. 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 16/08/2022
When a divorce has foreign elements and one spouse does not agree, jurisdiction and proper notice deserve early attention. Residence, nationality, the respondent's location and the available documents can affect both the procedure and the preparation required. 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 30/08/2022
A parent living overseas may face additional evidence and participation questions in a Vietnamese custody dispute. Nationality or residence alone should not replace analysis of the child's needs, the proposed care plan and the practical ability to maintain parental 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.
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.
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 20/11/2023
An investment project registration should explain the project accurately rather than simply reproduce a generic business plan. Activities, location, funding and implementation schedule need to be consistent across the supporting documents. Describe what the project will do, who will implement it and how it will be funded. Review market access, land or premises and any related approvals. Confirm the applicable procedure under the current investment framework instead of assuming every project requires identical registration.
Investment 17/10/2025
Hiring a foreign employee requires a review of the job and worker as well as the proposed employment terms. Work-permit eligibility or exemption should be assessed before the person begins work. Identify the employer, workplace, position, assignment period and relevant qualifications or experience. Determine the current procedure and evidence for a permit or exemption. A short assignment or intra-company transfer should not be treated as an automatic exemption without checking its conditions.
