Having disputes and requiring dispute resolution is part of business everywhere and a risk for market participants. When doing business 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?
Join EuroCham at this event to get up to date information on choice of law and dispute resolution when operating your business in Vietnam. Considerations may include:
- Can 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 the Vietnamese courts, the courts 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 have demonstrated the special attention given by Europe and Vietnam to dispute resolution through mediation. So what is the current situation of applying mediation in Vietnam and what are the keys for the business to win an efficient arbitration?
