VILAF is one of Vietnam’s oldest, largest and most highly regarded full-service law firms. Two strengths developed during our formative years provide us with unique capabilities to serve foreign companies investing and operating in Vietnam.
First, VILAF began as a small group of lawyers initially working with Clifford Chance from 1993 until 2000, endowing us with an international outlook and experience from the start – a strength that has only grown as we’ve worked with many of the world’s largest multinationals in Vietnam, including Ford, Philip Morris, Bunge, Shell, BNP Paribas, Citibank, SMBC, SCB, ANZ, Mizuho, and BTMU.
Second, several of our senior lawyers worked closely with the Vietnamese Government in the development of the country’s business and foreign investment laws, giving our firm unparalleled insight into the legal regimes governing multinational companies doing business here.
With this extensive international experience and in-depth knowledge of the country’s political culture and legal development, our lawyers are best positioned to advise clients on the law as well as legal and business practices in Vietnam.
Also, VILAF has a uniquely practical approach to assessing risk and developing effective solutions designed to meet our clients’ business objectives. We cut through complexity to provide clear and insightful answers.
