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 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 03/08/2023
A foreign loan can create obligations concerning registration, banking arrangements, reporting and changes to the loan terms. Businesses should review these issues before receiving funds or extending an existing facility. The discussion distinguishes loan funding from equity contributions and encourages a coordinated review of the loan agreement, project capital and payment schedule with the relevant banking records.
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.
Enterprise 31/10/2023
Shareholders in a joint-stock company do not all hold identical rights. The share class, company charter, applicable law and any shareholder agreement should be reviewed together when assessing a proposed decision or dispute. Voting, dividends, information access, transfer and participation in corporate decisions may depend on the share type and other conditions. Check the shareholder register and evidence of payment. A percentage quoted without its legal context may not explain the full extent of a shareholder's rights.
Foreigners 21/08/2023
Foreign tenants should review the landlord's authority, the premises and the lease terms before paying a deposit. Rent, repairs, early termination and the conditions for returning the deposit should be recorded clearly. The discussion explains how a written agreement and handover record can reduce uncertainty. Immigration-related residence obligations should also be considered separately from the commercial terms of the lease.
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.
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 29/05/2026
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.
Dispute 26/05/2026
Prepare for commercial dispute litigation in Vietnam with guidance on contracts, jurisdiction, evidence, negotiation, claims and enforcement considerations. Assess the dispute clause and commercial objective before issuing a claim. A well-organized chronology and complete performance record help counsel compare settlement with formal proceedings and explain the risks.
Dispute 29/07/2023
Dispute lawyers assess legal rights, organise evidence and help clients compare negotiation, mediation, arbitration and litigation. Their role includes managing procedural risks and explaining the strengths and limitations of a claim. The discussion describes the legal work involved in a dispute rather than promising success. Clients can use it to prepare the contracts, correspondence and questions needed for an informed first discussion.
Dispute 25/07/2023
A criminal matter with foreign elements can raise questions about jurisdiction, language, evidence abroad and the person's procedural status. Nationality alone does not determine guilt or the outcome of a case. This guide focuses on practical issues for suspects, defendants, victims and their families. It replaces broad assumptions about foreign nationals with a case-specific approach to documents, communication and lawful representation.
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.
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.
Divorce 17/07/2023
Property left unresolved after divorce may still require a separate assessment of ownership, earlier agreements and the terms of the divorce judgment. Begin by identifying the assets and the precise relief that remains in dispute. The discussion follows the dispute from document preparation to settlement and court proceedings, highlighting the importance of tracing contributions and checking whether an issue has already been conclusively decided.
Divorce 31/01/2026
Assess whether two foreigners can seek divorce in Vietnam, focusing on jurisdiction, overseas documents, residence and practical filing challenges. Nationality, residence and the legal connection to Vietnam must be examined together. Working in Vietnam alone should not be treated as automatic court jurisdiction, and document readiness does not replace that assessment.
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.
Investment 22/09/2023
A foreign investor may contribute to a new enterprise or invest in an existing company. These are different transactions, and they should not be forced into a single sequence of obtaining certificates and transferring funds. Identify whether the proposal is a subscription for new capital, a purchase from an existing owner or an asset contribution. Review foreign ownership conditions, the target's activities and the required corporate approvals. The legal form of the company alone does not determine all capital requirements.
Investment 19/07/2023
An Investment Registration Certificate records information about an investment project. Determining whether a project needs one requires an assessment of the investor, proposed activities and applicable investment procedures. The article explains how project scope, capital, location and implementation plans fit into a registration review. Enterprise registration, sector licences and project approvals should be considered separately rather than treated as interchangeable documents.
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 17/07/2023
Investment lawyers help investors connect a proposed business model with the legal requirements for ownership, licensing, contracts and operation in Vietnam. Their work begins before funds are committed and continues as the project develops. This guide explains the main workstreams rather than promising approval or returns. Investors can use it to identify the questions, project documents and transaction risks to discuss before choosing an investment structure.
