With its rapidly growing economy, continuing divestment of state-owned enterprises, and loosening of foreign ownership limits, Vietnam has increasingly become a target for foreign investors’ M&A activities. However, as regulations and formalities for M&A differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, investors contemplating transactions in Vietnam would be well advised to study the country’s unique characteristics before proceeding.

Lawyers from Tilleke & Gibbins provide answers to common questions about M&A in Vietnam in Lexology Navigator: M&A, a multi-jurisdiction overview of matters related to mergers and acquisitions including applicable legislation, regulation of the market, due diligence and public information, documentation and execution formalities, foreign ownership limitations, employee transfer obligations, and competition restrictions.
