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 15/08/2023
A shareholder's rights depend on the class of shares, the company charter and applicable company law. Understanding that combination is important before subscribing for shares, voting or planning a transfer. The guide introduces ordinary, founding and preference shareholder issues and helps investors identify the corporate documents and restrictions to review before exercising a right or entering a transaction.
Enterprise 27/03/2026
Review internal labor rules in Vietnam, including written policies, mandatory contents, consultation, registration and practical disciplinary risk control. Policies should match the employer's workforce and actual operations. Before relying on a disciplinary rule, confirm that the required consultation, communication, registration and supporting records have been handled correctly.
Enterprise 23/09/2023
Changing charter capital is a corporate decision with consequences for ownership, finance and registration. An increase, a reduction and a transfer of an existing interest are not the same transaction. Set out the current and proposed capital, who will contribute or receive funds, the transaction method and the reason for the change. Review the charter and approval authority. Foreign investor participation may require an additional investment review rather than enterprise registration alone.
Foreigners 28/02/2024
A family visit does not automatically establish eligibility for every family-related visa or residence category. The visitor's nationality, relationship and sponsor's status should be reviewed before selecting the application route. Prepare documents establishing the family connection and the sponsor's identity or residence status. A particular category may apply only to defined relationships and circumstances. Where documents were issued abroad, review the formalities needed for their intended use.

Clientes de língua portuguesa podem precisar de apoio em assuntos empresariais, de imigração, familiares ou em litígios relacionados com o Vietname. Uma preparação útil começa pela identificação do objetivo, dos factos e dos documentos disponíveis. Este artigo explica como organizar os registos, discutir traduções e formalidades e acordar o âmbito do trabalho e a comunicação com o advogado, sem pressupor um resultado garantido.
Foreigners 27/01/2026
Prepare for marriage registration between a foreigner and Vietnamese citizen, with guidance on civil-status documents, filing and personal attendance. Confirm the parties' eligibility and the correct document route before travel. Previous marriages, inconsistent names and foreign-issued records can require additional preparation even when the couple agrees on the registration.
Foreigners 05/07/2024
A matter involving foreign parties or documents can connect Vietnamese procedures with requirements abroad. The legal work should identify those connections before selecting a service or preparing a filing. Business establishment, employment, immigration, family matters and disputes require different expertise and procedures. Explain where the parties, documents and assets are located. A Vietnamese engagement should identify which foreign-law questions, if any, need separate advice.
Dispute 22/07/2023
Commercial arbitration can offer parties a private and flexible process for an eligible dispute, but its suitability depends on the arbitration agreement, costs, evidence and enforcement needs. It is not automatically faster or preferable in every case. The article explains the potential advantages and the questions businesses should consider when drafting a dispute clause or responding to an existing claim, without promising a particular timetable or result.
Dispute 28/09/2022
Land-use rights can raise issues of ownership, permitted use and the practical form of a settlement. The certificate is important, but acquisition history, separate-property evidence, financial obligations and the relevant land rules also need to be examined. 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.
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 29/05/2024
Individual labor disputes can involve unequal access to records and different accounts of the employment relationship. Legal support should begin with a clear description of the claim and the evidence available to each party. A lawyer can review the contract, identify legal and factual issues, calculate a payment claim and assess any preliminary procedure. Missing documents and inconsistent dates should be addressed early. Litigation should not be presented as an automatic next step for every workplace disagreement.
Divorce 25/08/2022
Ending a marriage does not automatically cancel borrowing or transfer every liability to one spouse. The purpose of the debt, the parties' consent, the benefit to the family and the creditor's rights must be examined when deciding responsibility. 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 25/08/2022
Before pursuing consensual divorce, confirm that both spouses agree on the essential issues and understand the court's role. Document readiness, participation requirements and any outstanding arrangements for children or property can matter more than an advertised completion period. 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 05/06/2023
Legal advice can help a spouse understand what must be proved and which issues can be negotiated. The useful measure is the quality of preparation and explanation, rather than a promise to accelerate every case or guarantee custody or property outcomes. 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 22/10/2022
The historical year in this article's title should not be used to select today's court or document requirements. A current case requires an updated jurisdiction check, a clear choice of procedure and documents reflecting the spouses' present circumstances. 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 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 11/09/2023
A change to an investor's name, identity document or registered particulars should be assessed against the records of the investment project. An administrative update is different from a change in the investor or an acquisition of the investment. Compare the old and new documents and explain what has actually changed. A renamed corporate investor, a replaced passport and a transfer to a different investor may require different evidence and procedures. Do not treat every change as the same filing.
Investment 13/11/2023
A construction investment project requires a coordinated legal and technical plan. The appropriate documents and approvals depend on the project, funding, site and nature of the works. Review the proposed land use, planning status, investment arrangements and technical studies. Identify which design, environmental, fire-safety and construction requirements apply. Work with technical advisers so the legal filing reflects the actual design and intended operation.
Investment 21/02/2024
Public-private partnership projects combine a public-service objective with a contractual investment structure. A foreign investor should assess the specific project and applicable PPP framework rather than treat the model as a general investment licence. Identify the public authority, proposed contract type, selection process and expected revenue source. Legal due diligence should examine land, approvals, environmental requirements and the relationship between project documents. Financial assumptions should be tested alongside the legal conditions.
