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 12/10/2026
Assess legal representation in Vietnam without travel, covering remote tasks, documents, authorization, communication and risks for overseas clients. Begin with the facts, deadlines and scans, then confirm which originals or formalities are needed. A clear engagement should explain the representative's powers, reporting process and any personal participation that remains necessary.
Enterprise 14/09/2026
Prepare evidence for commercial disputes in Vietnam through a complete contract file, factual chronology, original records and a realistic forum strategy. Collect performance, communications and damages evidence before sending a formal claim. Preserve original files and distinguish translations so counsel can assess notice compliance, remedies and any evidentiary gaps.
Enterprise 07/09/2026
Plan ongoing legal support for foreign-owned companies in Vietnam through contract control, HR compliance, corporate changes and dispute prevention. Periodic legal review should match the company's sector, staffing and transaction volume. Address new activities, key contracts and shareholder concerns while there is time to compare options and prepare supporting records.
Foreigners 11/11/2024
A foreigner preparing to register a marriage in Vietnam should obtain the document requirements for the couple's actual situation. Nationality, residence and previous marriages can affect the evidence needed. Start with identity and residence information and evidence of marital status. Explain any previous marriage, divorce or widowhood. Check the prescribed application and any required medical or other supporting evidence rather than treating an online list as universally mandatory.
Foreigners 24/11/2025
Plan work permit procedures for foreign employees in Vietnam under the current framework, from eligibility and documents to renewals and HR compliance. Check the worker's role, qualifications, employer and any exemption before work begins. Prepare document authentication and translations early, and coordinate permit information with the employment and residence arrangements.
Foreigners 25/10/2024
A temporary residence card is available only where the applicant meets an applicable category and its conditions. A wish to remain in Vietnam for a long period is not enough on its own. Review employment, investment, family or other qualifying circumstances and the supporting documents for that category. Check the sponsor's status and passport validity. The card should not be treated as a general work authorization; permission to work requires its own assessment.
Foreigners 05/10/2022
A consensual international divorce works best when both spouses understand the required documents and participation arrangements. The joint file should explain the marriage and the agreed child or financial terms, while identifying any overseas records that need formal preparation. 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.
Dispute 26/03/2024
A business dispute can sometimes be resolved by agreement, but a formal remedy may also be necessary. Choosing a route requires attention to the contract, the dispute and the result that can realistically be implemented. Negotiation keeps the discussion with the parties, while mediation introduces a neutral facilitator. A proposed settlement should address authority to sign, payment or performance, defaults and enforcement. The legal effect of an agreement depends on its form and any available recognition procedure.
Dispute 23/10/2023
Property disputes may concern ownership, possession, a contract, compensation or an inheritance. These categories can overlap, but identifying the actual claim is necessary before selecting a forum or calculating the requested remedy. Explain what property is involved, how the claimant acquired an interest and what conduct is disputed. A boundary issue is different from an unpaid purchase price or a challenge to an inheritance. The documents should support the particular right claimed.
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 24/07/2023
A labour dispute may concern pay, dismissal, benefits or other obligations arising from employment. Classifying it correctly helps the parties identify the relevant procedure, evidence and available forum before taking action. The discussion explains how these routes relate to one another and why an employment contract, payroll record, written decision and chronology should be reviewed before selecting a dispute resolution strategy.
Divorce 26/08/2022
Some divorce issues appear straightforward until disagreements about children, documents or assets emerge. A lawyer can help assess those risks, explain available options and prepare a consistent position, without promising that representation will secure a particular result. 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 29/08/2022
Recognition of consensual divorce is a court procedure, not simply registration of a private decision. The spouses should present a genuine joint request and explain their arrangements for children and property in terms the court can assess. 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 12/10/2022
Spouses may negotiate a property settlement or ask the court to determine disputed assets. In either situation, the asset list should be supported by records showing acquisition, ownership, contributions and related financial obligations. 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 16/08/2022
When a divorce has foreign elements and one spouse does not agree, jurisdiction and proper notice deserve early attention. Residence, nationality, the respondent's location and the available documents can affect both the procedure and the preparation required. 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.
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 27/11/2023
Real estate business can involve development, sale, leasing, brokerage or management. The applicable requirements depend on the activity and property, so a single definition does not provide a complete compliance checklist. Review who will conduct the activity, the scope of its registration and licences, and the status of the property or project. Existing buildings and future property can raise different conditions. Marketing or taking funds before those conditions are assessed can create significant risk.
Investment 24/07/2026
Review employment law issues for foreign companies in Vietnam, from contracts and internal rules to work permits, termination and labor dispute planning. Coordinate management, HR and legal records before hiring or restructuring. International policies should be adapted to the local employment relationship and supported by consistent documents and a lawful decision process.
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.
