With many years of experience representing clients before the Vietnamese Court system and Arbitration Centers, An Law Vietnam | International Law Firm provides litigation counsel and representation services with a focus on efficiency, confidentiality, and cost-appropriate strategies.
Our team of attorneys possesses deep knowledge of legal regulations, business contexts, and procedural rules in Vietnam, enabling us to deliver comprehensive litigation strategies tailored to each case.
Overview of Litigation Representation at An Law Vietnam
Litigation representation refers to the process in which an attorney, acting on behalf of a client, participates in dispute resolution through judicial or arbitral procedures to protect lawful rights and interests by means of legal expertise, strategic reasoning, and hands-on litigation experience. It is not limited to courtroom presentations; rather, it constitutes a continuous process — from document review, evidence preparation, and solution planning, to monitoring outcomes and enforcing judgments.
At An Law Vietnam, litigation representation is founded on the principles of mitigating risks – maximizing opportunities – and controlling costs. We prioritize negotiation and mediation where such approaches are advantageous to the client, while remaining prepared to advocate rigorously once a matter proceeds to litigation, supported by well-founded legal arguments and structured procedural strategies.
Our objective is not solely to secure advantages during hearings, but to ensure that clients obtain practical and sustainable results following the dispute.
Pre-litigation Representation Services
At An Law Vietnam, we recognize that each dispute carries distinct origins, motivations, and circumstances, and thus no single strategy can be universally applied. Before pursuing litigation — a route often involving substantial costs, time, and potential impacts on relationships — we always perform a comprehensive assessment and formulate a resolution plan best aligned with the client’s interests.
This approach safeguards core rights while maintaining business or personal relationships where long-term value remains viable. In many cases, timely negotiation strategies can resolve disputes more swiftly, discreetly, and effectively than court proceedings.
Scope of pre-litigation services includes:
➤ Comprehensive case evaluation and legal analysis to clearly identify the client’s position, rights, and obligations
➤ Recommending negotiation or mediation strategies with the objective of securing favorable outcomes without litigation where possible
➤ Representing clients during negotiations and communications with counterparties, ensuring the client’s position is clearly expressed and strategically reinforced
➤ Assisting in drafting correspondence, demand letters, agreements, meeting minutes, and documents required for negotiation or litigation preparation
Objective: facilitate legally grounded negotiation and mediation, limit unnecessary litigation, reduce time – costs – and resources for the client, while preserving leverage should the matter proceed to litigation.

Commercial and Corporate Disputes
Commercial disputes commonly arise in business operations, involving transactions between enterprises or between enterprises and individuals.
Typical cases include:
➤ Breach of commercial contracts, supply – distribution – processing – construction contracts
Example: failure to pay on schedule, failure to deliver goods as agreed, construction delay violations
➤ Disputes among shareholders, capital contributors, or executive committees
Example: financial non-transparency, restriction of shareholder rights, unlawful termination of member status
➤ Debt recovery & enforcement of obligations
Focus: transaction evidence, bank statements, meeting minutes, contract terms
➤ Claims for business damages and unfair competition
➤ Enforcement of arbitral awards and civil judgments relating to contractual obligations
Key legal note: many commercial disputes allow arbitration instead of court litigation — we advise the optimal procedural path depending on contractual terms and negotiation leverage.
Labor and Employment Disputes
This category requires familiarity with labor laws, internal corporate regulations, and evidence of employment relationships.
We represent clients in cases involving:
➤ Unlawful termination or dismissal in violation of procedural requirements
➤ Claims for damages, social insurance contributions, wages, and bonuses
➤ Disputes regarding rights and obligations between employees and employers
Example: reassignment of position, discriminatory treatment, wage discrepancies
➤ Disputes arising from specialized employment contracts (executives, foreign professionals)
➤ Disciplinary responsibility, dismissal, or resignation without notice
➤ Workplace accidents and occupational diseases — liability and compensation
Strategic factor: maintain business continuity and ensure compliance to mitigate post-litigation risks.
Real Estate, Housing, and Land Use Disputes
These disputes are often complex regarding evidentiary sources and involve multiple legal regulations, with potential delays absent clear strategy.
We assist with:
➤ Land use rights disputes, boundaries, common access pathways, and adjacent properties
➤ Establishing – transferring – canceling contracts for houses, land, or apartments
➤ Disputes related to leasing of properties, houses, or commercial premises
➤ Compensation and resettlement assistance in land recovery matters
➤ Requests for recognition of ownership, use rights, and registration of changes
Practical note: evidence such as maps, measurement records, administrative documents, and land-use history are often decisive.
Criminal Litigation — Defense of Defendants, Victims, and Related Parties
We accompany clients throughout investigation – prosecution – adjudication, ensuring procedural safeguards and defense rights in accordance with law.
Scope of work:
➤Defense of defendants in economic offenses, fraud, embezzlement, and misappropriation
➤ Representation of victims and civil plaintiffs seeking damages
➤ Representation before investigative authorities: witness questioning, adversarial procedures, and exculpatory evidence gathering
➤ Resolution of civil compensation claims within criminal proceedings
Strategic caution: in many cases, earlier attorney involvement increases the likelihood of protecting rights — particularly during the investigative stage.
Family and Inheritance Disputes
These disputes involve emotions, assets, and familial relationships, requiring a balance of tact and determination.
We represent clients in:
➤ Mutual or unilateral divorce and child custody disputes
➤ Determination of support obligations and marital property division
➤ Claims for inheritance distribution under law or will
➤ Challenges to will validity, disinheritance claims, determination of heirs
➤ Management of estates and prevention of asset dissipation prior to inheritance distribution
Principle: balance legal rights with family dynamics — while protecting lawful interests to the fullest extent.
Core Values in An Law Vietnam’s Litigation Strategy
At An Law Vietnam, litigation strategies are not solely based on legal clauses; they are constructed from practical experience, strategic thinking, and long-term commitment to client interests. Each matter is approached with the mindset of “leaving no detail overlooked,” as a single piece of evidence, argument, or procedural timing may shift the direction of litigation.
Effectiveness: ➜ We do not prolong disputes unnecessarily. Our objective is to shorten litigation timelines, focus on the decisive aspects, optimize outcomes, and reduce burdens for clients.
Confidentiality: ➜ Client information is a legal asset requiring strict protection. We apply stringent data-control measures throughout all stages — particularly for corporate, high-profile, and international clients.
Cost transparency: ➜ We establish fee structures that are transparent and predictable, ensuring value corresponding to outcomes — no hidden fees, no ambiguous terms.
Practical litigation capability: ➜ Experience across diverse matters enables us to identify both opportunities and risks behind each document, testimony, and piece of evidence. This practical insight allows us to anticipate procedural developments and adjust arguments in order to maintain strategic advantage.
Clear strategy: ➜ Each dispute is addressed through both short- and long-term procedural roadmaps, with appropriate legal scenarios: negotiation when suitable, counter-argument where required, and full litigation when it is the sole path to safeguard client interests.
“We do not merely review files — we dissect each piece of evidence, cross-reference each regulation, and build litigation strategies grounded in data and practice, ensuring every argument carries weight before the Tribunal.”
When Should You Engage a Litigation Attorney?
You should seek litigation counsel once legal conflicts emerge — not only when disputes escalate into complex lawsuits. Timely strategic advice may help identify your legal position, maintain negotiation leverage, and prevent extended losses.
You require a litigation attorney when:
➤ A dispute has arisen or is imminent, and you need an assessment of chances of success, procedural strategies, and risks
➤ A counterparty violates commitments, fails to perform obligations, delays payment, or causes actual damages
➤ Negotiation efforts have failed or the other party refuses cooperation
➤ You are sued, face compensation demands, are summoned, or risk criminal proceedings
➤ Key evidence is disputed and requires collection, preservation, or reinforcement to retain advantage in court
➤ You intend to file suit to protect rights but require experienced representation to structure a clear and realistic litigation plan
➤ A judgment or arbitral award is effective, but enforcement faces delays or obstacles
In litigation, not every move is loud — but every move must be precise.
Timely action may fundamentally alter the outcome.

We accompany clients from negotiation to enforcement.
