Strategic Advisory

Our team draws on more than 20 years' experience in Vietnam's foreign investment regulations and we advise on:

  • Foreign ownership limits in restricted sectors.
  • Land Use Rights (LUR) for foreign-invested enterprises.
  • Sector specific investment structures and contracts.
  • The practical reality behind the paperwork. Ensuring contract and operational compliance.
Key Insight: Recent disclosure rules in Vietnam for Ultimate Beneficial Owners (UBOs) compel nominees—individuals or entities holding legal title for true owners—to identify and report the UBOs who control or benefit from the arrangement, eliminating the anonymity nominees previously offered. Regulatory compliance now demands detailed ownership mapping submitted to authorities or banks.
