Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions we receive from prospective clients. If your question is not answered here, please reach out directly.
How does an initial consultation work?
We begin with a private meeting — in person at our District 3 office or via video call — to understand your circumstances and objectives. This conversation typically lasts thirty to forty-five minutes and helps us determine the best way forward. There is no pressure to proceed after the initial session.
What languages does the team work in?
Our attorneys communicate in English and Vietnamese. For arbitration matters requiring other languages, we coordinate with trusted interpreters and translators as needed.
How are fees structured?
It depends on the nature of the engagement. For well-defined work such as will drafting, we typically offer a fixed fee. For advisory and arbitration matters, we discuss hourly or staged arrangements. All fee structures are agreed upon before work begins.
Can you assist expatriates with assets in multiple countries?
Yes. Our will and succession planning practice gives particular attention to cross-border considerations for individuals who hold assets in Vietnam and abroad. We work alongside legal professionals in other jurisdictions when coordination is needed.
How long does an environmental compliance review take?
A typical initial compliance positioning engagement spans four to eight weeks, depending on the scope and complexity of the project. We provide milestone deliverables throughout so you can track progress at each stage.
Is my information kept confidential?
All client communications are protected by attorney-client privilege. We maintain strict internal data-handling protocols and do not share information with third parties except as required by law or with your written consent.
