OVERVIEW

Unlike the legal systems in the world, in the legal system of Vietnam, the gap between the law and the reality of applying law is relatively large. This matter requires the lawyers in Vietnam both to understand the law and catch the managing policy (in written or unwritten) of the State of Vietnam. We have the lawyers and jurists who have high skill, much experience and be able to evaluate legal risks for the clients in Vietnam and provide realistic solutions in order to eliminate or reduce to the maximum extent of such risks.

Global coverage in today’s market does not simply mean having offices in important cities around the world. For us, it means combining our international resources and sector expertise to work on cross-border transactions directly in the markets and regions important to our clients.
