In the context of Vietnam emerging as a dynamic hub for manufacturing, commerce, and investment in the Asia-Pacific region, understanding the legal system, investment environment, and relevant regulations has become a crucial factor for businesses and foreign investors to make informed decisions. The book “Must-know regulations when investing in vietnam: A lawyer’s perspective” was published to meet this need — a comprehensive, practical, and reliable legal handbook for both domestic and foreign investors.
Practical Perspective – From the Experience of Practitioners
Not merely presenting the law, the book was compiled from the perspective of professional lawyers. They have directly advised and accompanied hundreds of investment transactions, M&A deals, and FDI projects in Vietnam. Therefore, each chapter of the book is not merely dry theory but also the culmination of practical experience, illustrated with specific situations, examples, and in-depth analysis.
From selecting the appropriate type of investment, applying for business licenses, to matters regarding taxation, labor, social insurance, or corporate dissolution — all procedures, risks, and legal considerations are presented clearly, understandably, and with high applicability.
Scientific Structure – Comprehensive yet Accessible
The book comprises 17 main chapters, arranged in a logical sequence, guiding readers from an overview of the investment environment in Vietnam to detailed regulations on legal and corporate governance matters.
Specifically:
- The first chapters (1–5) provide an overview of the investment context, reasons why Vietnam has become an attractive destination, and introduce the incentives and support policies of the Government for foreign investors.
- The following chapters (6–10) delve into legal procedures, licensing processes, business conditions, capital contribution, and the obligations of enterprises after incorporation.
- The subsequent chapters (11–17) focus on taxation, auditing, human resource management, corporate dissolution, foreign labor, and social insurance – essential issues that any investor must understand before and during operations in Vietnam.
With a bilingual format (Vietnamese – English) in certain editions, the book is also a useful resource for international lawyers, investment consultants, financial experts, and foreign businesspeople who wish to gain a deeper understanding of Vietnam’s legal framework.
High Practical Value – A Bridge between Law and Business
The special feature of “Lawyer’s Perspective” lies in the fact that the book not only helps readers grasp the law, but also guides them on how to apply it in practical investment scenarios. Each topic is set within a specific business context, analyzing legal risks, comparing regulations with actual enforcement, and providing strategic legal suggestions to help businesses optimize investment efficiency and minimize compliance risks.
This serves as an important bridge between legal theory and business operations, enabling investors not only to “enter Vietnam”, but also to truly “understand Vietnam” – understanding how the legal system operates, the management culture, and effective collaboration methods with competent authorities.
A Reliable Reference for the Investment Community
Amid the Vietnamese Government’s continuous efforts to complete the legal framework on investment, business, and international trade, this book becomes an accurate, up-to-date, and highly practical reference source.
Lawyers, corporate managers, foreign investors, as well as students of law and international economics can consider this book a go-to reference — helping them understand not only “what the law prescribes”, but also “what actions to take to comply with and succeed within Vietnam’s legal environment.”
Conclusion – A Guiding Compass for Sustainable Investment
“Must-know regulations when investing in vietnam: A lawyer’s perspective” is not merely a legal book but a guiding compass for a sustainable investment journey. From an objective, in-depth, and experience-based perspective of lawyers, the book provides readers with a comprehensive picture of Vietnam’s legal environment, helps seize opportunities, and confidently accompany the dynamic development of Vietnam’s economy.
