Dispute Resolution

We are not professional litigators who know the ins and outs of court or arbitration proceedings, but we can effectively assist professional litigators especially those involved in international arbitration to build their arguments and formulate their strategies with our in-depth knowledge of local issues both in law and practice. Our team has accumulated decades of experiences in helping our clients in navigating the legal and regulatory landscape in Vietnam. In doing so, we help our clients to identify and mitigate potential issues which could arise from their business or transactions. We found that the same skills could be used to collect evidence, identify, and develop wining arguments in complicated commercial disputes.

We can also help Vietnamese clients to select and work with foreign counsels in international arbitration proceedings.
