Legal Consultation

Living in a country whose legal system you did not grow up with means the first difficulty is often simply understanding what applies to you. A conversation in your own language, with someone who knows both systems, usually resolves that quickly.

Wise Counsel offers confidential consultations in English for foreign nationals on any legal question arising in Vietnam.

What we help with

• A confidential session in English to review your situation
• Explaining how Vietnamese law treats your issue, and how it differs from home
• Reviewing a contract, lease or official document before you sign or respond
• Advising on urgency and what must be dealt with first
• Setting out the realistic options with cost and timeline
• A second opinion where you have already received conflicting advice
• Written summary of the advice where you need it for your records
• Referral to the right specialist within the firm if the matter proceeds

Assumptions carried over from another legal system are the most common source of trouble. It is worth checking them before, not after.
