Expertise & Communication

Our office is located in Ham Nghi Street, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. However, most of our clients prefer to speak with us by telephone or via chat platforms for convenience reasons.

We do speak both Vietnamese and English.

Monday – Friday from 8am – 5.30pm (Break time: 11.50am – 1.30pm).

The experience and expertise of PLF’s legal team is currently diverse and extensive, encompassing areas such as Corporate Tax & Advisory, Investment Consulting, Corporate Compliance, Labor Law, Intellectual Property, and particularly in the field of Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A).

With over 16 years of experience providing legal advice and support for M&A transactions, our attorneys have participated in numerous significant deals, ranging from legal due diligence, contract negotiation, to handling procedures related to investment and compliance with regulations in Vietnam. They are not only proficient in legal matters but also possess deep knowledge of regulatory compliance and risk assessment. We ensure that all services are fully compliant with Vietnamese laws while providing the best protection for our clients’ interests.

Yes, we provide 30-minute free consultation to clients. If the consultation exceeds 30 minutes, the additional time will be billed on an hourly basis in accordance with PLF’s Terms and Conditions (T&C). Before implementing this billing, PLF will notify the client directly during the consultation (or in advance via email, if applicable) and will only proceed with the consultation upon receiving the client’s corresponding approval.

It is challenging to provide a precise “success rate” as each case is unique. Additionally, confidentiality agreements and attorney-client privilege prevent us from disclosing specific details and outcomes of settlements. However, with more than 16 years of experience in the legal services industry, we have successfully assisted numerous domestic and international businesses across various sectors. We ensure their operations comply with Vietnamese regulations and help minimize potential legal risks.
We understand the importance of this question and address it by providing general descriptions of our case outcomes in our individual attorney profiles. You can access these profiles and review the “Notable cases” section for more information.
For nearly 20 years, PLF Law Firm has distinguished itself as one of leaders in the legal field. Our associates are highly accomplished in areas such as doing business in Vietnam, corporate law, and various other fields. We contribute to our profession by writing articles for magazines and serving as members on Bar Association councils, panels, and conferences.
Most importantly, the work we do for each client and their business is our most significant qualification. Our results speak for themselves.
