Driving your success in Vietnam through trusted advice and global insights

Freshfields opened offices in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City soon after Vietnam joined the global market in 1994. Since then, we’ve played a key role in the country’s economic transformation, supporting global investors and multinational companies with complex transactions.

We are recognized leaders in M&A, antitrust, and joint ventures, advising prominent private equity firms, investment funds, and major infrastructure projects – from foreign-invested power and oil and gas to transport and state-company privatizations.

Clients rely on us for critical mandates that drive their strategic goals. Our teams deliver innovative solutions and unique deal structures tailored specifically to the Vietnamese market.

We support international clients with a blend of local expertise and a robust global network. Collaborating seamlessly across Asia, Europe, the US, and MENA, we craft first-of-a-kind solutions for complex legal challenges, staying ahead of emerging trends – from renewable energy to hyperscale data centres – so you can too.
