At the forefront of innovative legal solutions in Vietnam. We established our Ho Chi Minh City office in 2010 and our Hanoi office the following year
With around 60 persons including JP/VN legal practitioners, including not only lawyers present in Vietnam but other legal professionals on our Vietnam practice team based in other jurisdictions within Asia, we are one of the biggest foreign law firms in Vietnam. Our Vietnam team members work in close cooperation with each other to provide a full range of domestic and cross-border legal services. Boasting extensive experience not only in Vietnam but across the Asia Pacific region, our team of locally and internationally qualified legal experts represent a diverse array of companies across multiple industries and are well positioned to advise on inbound and outbound investments, business alliances, mergers & acquisitions, real-estate developments, infrastructure and energy projects, crisis management, dispute resolution, banking and finance, as well as various other legal matters that businesses expanding into or out of Vietnam may confront. Our Vietnam team members regularly engage in consultations with Vietnamese government agencies on behalf of national and international companies and organizations concerning complex legal issues and obstacles arising out of such companies’ most important transactions. Over the past decade, we have also garnered significant experience in advising the Vietnamese government on statutory amendments and the adoption of new legislation.
We understand that companies need practical, timely, and accurate legal advice to best serve their business interests amidst the ever changing and increasingly complex legal landscape of Vietnam. Our expertise and unique insight into the vagaries of Vietnamese law allows us to efficiently meet those needs. We are here to lead you forward.
