WHO IS “LAWYER”?
WHO IS A LAWYER? | An Law Vietnam
(A comprehensive explanation of the concept, roles, and significance of the legal profession in Vietnam)
In modern society, the term “Lawyer” does not only refer to the familiar image of a professional advocating for their client in court, but also to a legal advisor, negotiator, and trusted representative who provides strategic legal guidance in various areas of life and business.
According to Vietnamese law, a Lawyer is a person who:
- Has been professionally trained in law;
- Holds a Law Practice Certificate issued by the Ministry of Justice of Vietnam;
Is legally authorized to perform the following professional activities:
- Providing legal consultancy for individuals, organizations, and enterprises;
- Acting as a legal representative or authorized agent in civil or commercial cases;
- Participating in litigation and legal proceedings in criminal, civil, economic, marriage, and family cases;
- Handling legal procedures such as divorce, child custody, inheritance, nationality, and residence;
- Drafting, negotiating, and mediating contracts or disputes.
The ultimate goal of the legal profession is to uphold justice, maintain legal order, and protect human rights in every social relationship.
A Lawyer is not merely a courtroom advocate but also a strategic legal partner for individuals and businesses in Vietnam’s dynamic, globally integrated economy.

Why is the Legal Profession Important?
In a rule-of-law society, all actions, transactions, and relationships are governed by legal principles.
Lawyers serve as guardians of justice, transparency, and social order.
- They protect human rights and prevent legal violations;
- They uphold justice and reinforce public trust in the judicial system;
- They assist individuals and organizations in making lawful, safe, and sustainable decisions.
A Lawyer is not only a “defender” but also a keeper of justice, contributing to the development of a fair and civilized society.
