With offices in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, Baker & McKenzie was one of the first international law firms to establish representative offices in the country. The Firm's offices in Vietnam provide on-the-ground liaison and support services to clients interested in investigating, negotiating, and implementing projects in the country.
Lawyers in the Vietnam Practice Group are able to guide clients through the legal and commercial risks inherent in Vietnam's evolving legal system and changing political-economic landscape. We closely follow Vietnam's efforts to integrate with the regional and world economies as well as the country's developing relationships with the European Union, United States and regional neighbors, including Japan.
Clients benefit from a regional and international network of legal experts, including both the Firm's Hong Kong and Singapore offices who provide back-up by way of regional specialists in various areas of law and experienced paralegals and translators.
Interaction between the Firm's Lawyers in Vietnam and our other global offices is facilitated by the Firm's state-of-the-art communication facilities. This allows instant access and electronic transmission of our English- and Vietnamese-language legal documents and memoranda and permits us to maintain one of the most extensive collections of Vietnamese laws and legal documents held anywhere.
By virtue of our local expertise, transactional experience, relationships with government officials and legal authorities, and familiarity with relevant Vietnamese entities, we believe that our Vietnam Practice Group is without peer with regard to the assistance we are able to render to clients.
