Legal services can help prevent a problem, structure a transaction or respond to a dispute. Choosing the right form of support begins with understanding what must be decided and what work is needed to implement that decision. A written opinion may identify risks without including contract drafting, filing or representation. A document review may focus on a particular issue rather than every aspect of a transaction. Clarify the expected deliverables and who will act on them.

Learn how foreigners can choose a lawyer in Vietnam by checking professional status, relevant experience, communication, scope and fee arrangements.

Resolving Labor Disputes and Safeguarding Employee Rights

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.

Dispute 03/04/2026

A name on a certificate is one part of the evidence; it does not answer every question about contributions or ownership.

A divorce involving another country requires an assessment of jurisdiction, applicable law, overseas documents and service of proceedings.

How many times do you need to go to court for a unilateral divorce?

How many times do you need to go to court for a unilateral divorce?

Divorce 04/11/2023

There is no reliable single number of court visits for every unilateral divorce. The required participation depends on the procedural steps, the disputed issues, service of documents and any lawful basis for absence. A statement-taking appointment, evidence session, mediation and trial are different events. Review the summons and ask what participation is required. Do not assume that a lawyer can replace a spouse at every stage or that ignoring a notice will shorten the process.

Before seeking divorce, clarify how the marriage is evidenced and recognised, which records are available and whether any preliminary administrative step is needed.

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.

A project may involve investment-policy approval, an investment registration certificate, enterprise registration and sector permissions, depending on the current framework and its facts.
