As part of a globally connected firm, our deep bench of experts in Vietnam are able to deliver a seamless and integrated offering to clients on matters that affect their multijurisdictional business, including Vietnam and its fast-growing digital economic sector.
We are distinguished in the market for our knowledge of local law, with offices in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi. Our local credibility and deep understanding of how local authorities operate and interpret the law in this sensitive area have contributed to our continued success as one of the leading Vietnam firms.
Leaders in the TMT space frequently seek us out for our experience handling multijurisdictional best practice matters concerning personal data protection (PDP) and privacy, and cybersecurity law. These are areas of law which are evolving in Vietnam, with regulators, at times, trying to introduce requirements that may be more burdensome than necessary. In the past 12 months, we have been particularly active advising on projects relating to the new requirements under Decree No. 13/2023/ND-CP on PDP – the first ever Vietnam comprehensive piece of legislation in PDP, which came into effect on 1 July 23.
Foremost experts on Vietnam’s TMT laws: We regularly collaborate with the US ASEAN Business Council on its regulatory reform and advocacy efforts. We are engaged to prepare and submit a comprehensive paper with regard to intl. standards and best practices for PDP and privacy.
