Words from People We Have Worked With

Challenge

A Korean couple wanted to purchase a condominium in Quận 2 but were unfamiliar with Vietnam's foreign ownership rules and had encountered conflicting information from different sources. Previous attempts to engage local agents had left them unsure about title status.

Our Approach

We conducted independent title verification, confirmed the building's foreign ownership allocation, reviewed the sale and purchase agreement in both English and Vietnamese, and coordinated directly with the developer's legal team and the notarial office to ensure all documents met requirements.

Outcome

Transaction completed in five weeks with clean title transfer. The couple reported feeling confident throughout the process and have since referred two other foreign buyers to our practice. Total savings from identified contract amendments: approximately 180,000,000 VND.

Challenge

A European technology firm opening a Hồ Chí Minh City office needed to obtain work permits for five senior staff members across different permit categories, each with different qualification documentation requirements and home country certifications.

Our Approach

We created an individual processing plan for each applicant, identified the correct permit category based on their role and qualifications, coordinated authentication of foreign documents, and submitted applications in a staggered sequence to manage the company's operational timeline.

Outcome

All five permits approved within six weeks, with zero rejections or requests for supplementary documentation. The company was able to commence full operations on schedule. They have since engaged us for all subsequent international hires.

Challenge

A Vietnamese manufacturing company with 45 employees had grown rapidly without updating its legal documentation. Employment contracts, supplier agreements, and internal policies had not been reviewed in over three years and no longer reflected current regulations.

Our Approach

Through our preventive advisory service, we conducted a comprehensive audit of all existing legal documents, identified 14 areas requiring immediate attention, and developed a prioritised remediation schedule that the company could implement over three months without disrupting operations.

Outcome

All priority items addressed within the agreed timeline. The company now operates with updated employment contracts, compliant supplier terms, and a data protection framework that meets current requirements. They continue with quarterly advisory sessions.
