About

Provided by YKVN LLC

The Projects group is highly regarded in the Vietnamese marketplace, having detailed, hands-on experience with the allocation of various project risks among the concerned parties. We understand the impact that these risk allocations have on the transactions, and we are skilled at ensuring that, and demonstrating to project investors that, project risks have been properly distributed, allocated and addressed in the underlying commercial contracts. When we work with our clients on these projects, we provide more than just legal advice.

We provide business, strategic and cultural advice in assisting our clients in structuring, negotiating and documenting project and financing agreements tailored to their projects in Vietnam.

YKVN has been involved as Vietnamese lenders’ counsel with some of the largest project finance transactions to close in recent years in a range of sectors including electricity, power, renewable energy, cement, petroleum and mining. Our experience also includes acting as developer counsel or Vietnamese counsel for international investors on agenda-setting energy projects, advising on a broad range of issues from foreign investment restrictions and transaction structures to government approvals, land, grid connection and PPA issues.

We have recently advised international lenders in the US$1.3 billion international financing of Mong Duong 2 project and many other landmark projects in Vietnam.
