THE FIRM:

In the last 12 years, we have established ourselves as a formidable force in commercial litigation and arbitration in Vietnam. Le & Tran now takes a bold leap to unlock a new wave of growth. With a vision to be a premier law corporation beyond Vietnam, Le & Tran’s strategy comprises three pillars, namely, international finesse, unrivaled local expertise, and operational mastery.

• International finesse: our lawyers have much corporate knowledge & experience from our global clients like QBE, Marvell Technology, Petronas, Suntory Pepsico, FrieslandCampina, FWD, Semcorp, ERM, Geodis, etc. We understand how the international corporate culture & compliance practice can be synced smartly with local regulations and governance.
• Unrivaled local expertise: our core practices are commercial litigation and white-collar crimes; we have grown from the rigours of complex lawsuits at courts, arbitration and legal proceedings with the Vietnam police; this enables us to confidently identify and assess the critical risks, master the skillful tactical precision and execute with high dedication and expert thoroughness to all legal difficulties.
• Operational mastery: we automate our operating system with high technologies from quotation and billing to daily legal communication with the clients. We systemize all the operations to ensure the client’s satisfaction with minimal time and the highest precision.

What our clients say:

Albert Chan (Former CFO – FWD Insurance): “I first met Stephen of Le & Tran back in 2016 at which we engaged Le & Tran as our legal counsel to help handling all related legal matters for setting up a new insurance company in Vietnam. Our headquarter in HK preferred to use international firms on these matters, but I then found out it was not practical dealing insurance specific issues, local regulatory compliance as well as day-to-day new venture setup matters. Stephen not only provided professional legal advice, but also suggested valuable insights in seeking MOF licensing approval. He was knowledgeable in multiple aspects, ranging from landlords for new premises, new business partners, policy contracts, corporate structure, employment contracts to labor union etc. He has amazing skill in picking up insurance business knowledge quickly and applied to analyze issues and then to help formulating options for management decision. We built good working relationship and friendship throughout this project. If you need any legal advice, I highly recommend to contact Stephen.”

Helen Kavanagh (C-level position in Education): “From the moment we contacted Stephen at Le Tran, to the moment my case was successfully settled - 3 weeks later- we were hugely impressed by the speed, professional knowledge, general expertise and commitment of the whole team. Stephen led extremely well, giving clear direction and guidance- in Vietnamese and English. At every step of the way we felt in safe hands and were immensely fortunate to have connected with Le Tran when we needed them most. I would recommend Le Tran without reservation.”

Matthew Young (Founder & CEO - Studi3Eight): “Stephen is one of those rare people who say so much in just a few well chosen words. A genuinely smart, and more importantly, engaged lawyer, who gets to the heart of the matter quickly and sets out a plan to achieve the desired outcome. He knows his field extremely well and it shows in the confidence he has in his work and the results he achieves. I cannot recommend highly enough.”
