Vietnam has attracted increasing attention from Japanese investors in the last decade. To provide comprehensive legal services both in Japan and Vietnam, in 2011 Atsumi & Sakai formed a partnership with A-PAC International Law Firm, an expanding local Vietnamese law firm headed by a lawyer who held many important positions in Vietnamese Government Agencies and has maintained good government connections. As part of the arrangement, a Japanese lawyer from Atsumi & Sakai is based at A-PAC and a Vietnamese qualified attorney works in the Tokyo Office of Atsumi & Sakai. This allows us to provide efficient legal services to both our Japanese clients doing business in Vietnam and Vietnamese businesses operating in Japan.

Our relevant expertise includes:

Formal alliance with a growing Vietnamese law firm with good government connections
Japanese qualified lawyer based in Vietnam
Vietnamese qualified, Japanese speaking lawyer in Tokyo
Ability to conduct business and draft documents in Japanese, Vietnamese and English
Full familiarity with the legal and regulatory framework in Vietnam and the nuances of doing business there
