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 26/05/2026
Review commercial lease risks for foreign businesses in Vietnam, including landlord authority, premises suitability, deposits, licensing and exit rights. A usable business address must fit the specific activity and licensing plan. Review the property documents and allocate renovation, safety, tax-invoice and termination responsibilities before paying a substantial deposit.
Enterprise 25/10/2025
Foreign employees may need help understanding Vietnamese employment documents and the procedure for raising a claim. A useful legal assessment combines the employment facts with any work and residence consequences. Unpaid wages, disputed benefits, working conditions and termination should be separated. Provide the contract, policies, pay records and relevant decisions with a chronology. Explain what the employee seeks and whether any payment or settlement has already been offered.
Enterprise 13/06/2026
Review M&A legal support in Vietnam, including transaction structure, due diligence, purchase documents, foreign ownership and post-closing compliance. A deal should be tested against the target's records and regulatory position before payment. Translate due diligence findings into conditions, warranties, indemnities and a closing plan that matches the transaction.
Foreigners 24/06/2025
A foreign worker who receives a dismissal or termination notice should preserve the documents and clarify the legal basis used by the employer. Employment and immigration questions may arise together and should be assessed promptly. Keep the contract, notices, policies, performance or disciplinary records and relevant communications. Record when the decision was received and what payments were offered. Do not assume that all forms of contract termination are disciplinary dismissal or follow the same procedure.
Foreigners 23/09/2023
Employment compensation covers several different obligations. Salary, overtime pay, bonuses, severance and compensation following unlawful termination should be identified and calculated separately rather than grouped into a single figure. Compare the employment contract, collective agreement where applicable, workplace policies, attendance records and payslips. A discretionary bonus and an amount promised under an agreed policy may raise different issues. For an alleged underpayment, show the period, calculation and payment already received.
Foreigners 29/05/2026
Distinguish notarization, Apostille, consular legalization and translation when preparing foreign documents for legal use in Vietnam. The correct route depends on the document, issuing country and receiving authority. Check whether the Apostille Convention applies between the countries and whether an exemption or additional translation requirement is relevant.
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.
Dispute 24/04/2024
A proposed transfer within a housing project requires more than a site visit and a deposit agreement. The buyer should assess the project's legal status and whether the specific transfer can proceed. Request relevant land and project documents, planning information and evidence concerning infrastructure and financial obligations. Identify the investor and any agent's authority. An advertisement for a plot does not establish that the particular transaction is legally available.
Dispute 09/08/2023
A labour dispute involving a foreign employee, an overseas employer or evidence abroad requires both an employment-law and a procedural assessment. The first step is to identify the relationship, claim and connection with Vietnam. The article focuses on the practical documents needed to assess the dispute and distinguishes individual from collective procedures rather than treating all foreign-related employment claims as the same type of case.
Dispute 20/11/2023
Inheritance disputes can concern the validity of a will, the identity of heirs, the estate available for division or obligations left by the deceased. These questions should be separated before a proposed distribution is calculated. Distinguish the deceased's property from property held jointly with others. Collect the will, death record, family relationship evidence and documents concerning assets and debts. A family agreement should be based on a complete understanding of the persons and interests involved.
Dispute 29/08/2025
Downsizing should be assessed as a structured employment process rather than a series of ordinary termination notices. The reason for the workforce change and the employees affected determine the requirements to examine. Explain the organizational, technological or economic change and review affected roles, redeployment and training possibilities. Assess whether a labor-utilization plan and consultation are required. A cost-saving objective should not be assumed sufficient for every proposed dismissal.
Divorce 21/09/2026
Prepare a foreign marriage certificate for divorce in Vietnam, including translation, authentication, missing originals, identity consistency and court review. A certificate may establish the marriage without deciding court jurisdiction. Check the issuing authority, names, complete translations and available replacement records before filing or relying on an uncertified scan.
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.
Divorce 23/08/2022
Spouses can agree on property issues, but the agreement should describe the assets and obligations clearly. Identifying ownership, outstanding debts and any third-party interests helps avoid a settlement that appears complete but leaves significant disputes unresolved. 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 26/12/2025
Review child custody and support after divorce in Vietnam, including care arrangements, financial evidence, visitation and the role of legal advice. Parents should organize evidence of daily care, housing, schooling, income and the child's needs. Practical proposals should distinguish direct care, support and contact while keeping the child's welfare central.
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 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.
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 24/11/2025
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.
