Enterprise 07/11/2026
Commercial contract disputes in Vietnam can arise from unpaid invoices, delayed deliveries, defective goods, or disagreements over contractual obligations. This article explains the key steps businesses should take to protect their interests, including reviewing contract terms, preserving evidence, assessing potential claims, and considering negotiation, arbitration, or court proceedings.
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 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.
Enterprise 11/01/2026
Review legal risks when changing land use purpose in Vietnam, including planning consistency, investment approvals, financial duties and authority review. A proposed conversion should be assessed together with the existing land rights and investment project. Confirm whether approval is required and which contractual or financial consequences may follow before using the site differently.
Foreigners 02/10/2026
Review Vietnam personal data protection compliance in 2026 for foreign companies, including data mapping, employee records, vendors and overseas access. Identify the company's role and actual data flows before drawing compliance conclusions. Policies, access controls, retention and vendor arrangements should reflect how HR, customer and platform information is processed.
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 12/09/2023
A foreign worker should not assume that a senior title, short assignment or intra-company transfer automatically removes the need for a work permit. Eligibility depends on the applicable exemption and the facts of the proposed work. Review the employer, position, location, assignment period and evidence supporting the claimed category. Some situations require confirmation or notification even when a permit is not required. A contract describing a person as exempt is not a substitute for the applicable legal conditions.
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.
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.
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 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 19/03/2024
A person acting for another should understand the limits of the authority granted. A dispute can arise when a representative signs a contract or takes another step beyond those limits. Review the written authorization, its duration and any conditions, transaction-value limits or restrictions on delegation. Compare it with the actual act and the documents shown to the counterparty. Internal approval and external representative authority should be considered separately.
Divorce 07/02/2023
A property dispute may remain after the marriage has ended. Resolving it requires a careful inventory, proof of how each asset was acquired and consideration of any earlier agreement or judgment, rather than an assumption that the divorce divided everything. 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 18/08/2022
Registering a marriage abroad does not, by itself, determine where a later divorce must take place. A Vietnamese case requires a jurisdiction assessment and suitable proof of the marriage, including any necessary treatment of foreign-issued civil-status documents. 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 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 21/06/2023
A divorce agreement between spouses does not automatically extinguish a creditor's rights. Responsibility for a debt must be assessed through its purpose, the circumstances of borrowing and the legal basis for treating it as a shared or personal obligation. 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.
Investment 20/07/2023
A foreign-invested company's capital increase may affect project capital, charter capital or borrowing arrangements in different ways. Identifying which figure changes is the starting point for planning the corporate decisions and registration work. The discussion helps investors organise existing certificates, ownership information and funding plans before deciding which approvals or amendments are required and how the steps should be coordinated.
Investment 13/10/2025
Foreign property purchases in Vietnam should be assessed by reference to the buyer and the specific asset. Eligible housing ownership is different from owning land or acquiring unrestricted rights in every property. Review the buyer's status, project, property type and applicable restrictions or foreign ownership limits. Obtain the relevant project and seller documents and verify the information supporting the sale. A numerical quota alone does not establish that a particular unit is available to the buyer.
Investment 22/05/2024
An investment registration certificate adjustment should reflect an actual change to the project or investor information. The first step is to describe the difference between the current record and the proposed situation. A name correction, capital change, new objective, location change and transfer of a project can raise different issues. Compare the certificate with actual implementation and reporting records. Corporate approval and evidence of funding or land arrangements should fit the change proposed.
Investment 04/09/2025
Enterprise registration and investment registration serve different purposes. Legal support should explain which procedures apply to the proposed business and how the work will be coordinated. Review the investors, activities, location, capital and management plan. Determine whether an IRC or other investment procedure is required under the current framework and how it connects to enterprise registration. Sector permissions may require separate work.
