Our ever-expanding Dispute Resolution practice continues to be involved in all aspects of litigation, arbitration and alternative dispute resolution (‘ADR’). In Vietnam, our lawyers have the necessary experience and expertise to take complex cross-border matters to court, providing robust and incisive representation for our clients in resolving all types of commercial disputes, as well as assisting our clients in defending against actions brought by local gov. authorities.
We are renowned not only for the size and complexity of our cases, but also the breadth of our expertise, which includes, but is not limited to:
o administrative/public law and regulatory disputes;
o antitrust and competition litigation;
o b&f litigation;
o commercial litigation;
o construction litigation;
o investigations;
o corp. compliance matters;
o customs litigation;
o info. tech disputes
o insolvency/bankruptcy matters;
o ip litigation;
o labour and employ. litigation;
o product liability and product recalls;
o trade litigation; and
o tax controversy matters
We offer strategic litigation analysis, incl. providing legal opinions on potential liabilities, disputes audits and pre-litigation planning to help manage risk on a global or regional basis. We provide clients with possible courses of action for potential disputes, including assisting with negotiation to endeavour to achieve an amicable settlement before a dispute reaches the arbitration/litigation stage, which can be very costly.
