[Hanoi] Business Luncheon on Governing Law and Dispute Resolution when Doing business in Vietnnam

When doing businesses in Vietnam whether through an offshore entity (by way of a cross-border transaction), a branch office or a foreign invested enterprise, you will need to address two key questions: what can and should optimally be the choice of law to govern your contracts and what should be the forum for the resolution of any disputes?

• May Vietnamese law, the law of your home country or the law of a third party country be the governing law of the contract?
• Whether to choose a Vietnamese court, a court of your home country, arbitration in Vietnam, international arbitration or mediation to resolve a contractual dispute if and when it arises? What are the pros and cons for each option?
• The promulgation of the Government’s Decree No.22/2017/ND-CP on Commercial Mediation and the recently signed EVFTA’s specific regulations on the mediation of both state-state and investor-state disputes have demonstrated the special attention given by Europe and Vietnam to dispute resolution through mediation. Also with the EVFTA, Vietnamese legislators will be provided with a sound legal framework to develop commercial mediation and investment mediation.
