Vietnam

Please click here for introduction in Vietnamese.

 

Vietnam has attracted increasing attention from Japanese investors in the last decade.  To provide comprehensive legal services both in Japan and Vietnam, in 2011 Atsumi & Sakai formed a partnership with A-PAC INTERNATIONAL LAW FIRM, an expanding local Vietnamese law firm headed by a lawyer who held many important positions in Vietnamese Government Agencies and has maintained good government connections.  As part of the arrangement, a Japanese lawyer from Atsumi & Sakai is based at A-PAC.  This allows us to provide efficient legal services to both our Japanese clients doing business in Vietnam and Vietnamese businesses operating in Japan.

 

Our relevant expertise includes:

  • Formal alliance with a growing Vietnamese law firm with good government connections  
  • Japanese qualified lawyer based in Vietnam
  • Vietnamese qualified, Japanese speaking lawyer in Tokyo
