LMP Lawyers is proud to be recognized in the Vietnam Law Firm Awards 2025 for Inbound Investment.
But more than that — we were featured in the editorial coverage by Asia Business Law Journal.
In their words:
The LMP Lawyers team provides legal guidance to foreign investors engaging in investment activities in Vietnam. In the past 12 months, the firm has been instrumental in facilitating these investments, demonstrating its exceptional credentials as an award-winning law firm.
LMP Lawyers assisted Rikkeisoft in the 20% stake acquisition by Japan’s Sumitomo Corporation, which was announced in November 2024. The firm also advised Blue Sky Travel in a transaction with a multinational corporation. As part of these transactions, LMP Lawyers successfully obtained M&A approval from the Department of Planning and Investment (DPI) and ensured compliance with notification requirements regarding foreign shareholder status.
LMP Lawyers also advised a foreign investor on acquiring equity and contributing capital to a renowned F&B company in Vietnam. This transaction required a strategic legal approach due to the food and beverage sector’s complex regulatory landscape, particularly regarding foreign ownership restrictions, conditional business lines and licensing requirements under WTO commitments and Vietnamese laws.
The firm provided end-to-end legal support, including structuring the investment, obtaining M&A approval from the DPI, notification of foreign shareholders’ status and securing all necessary regulatory approvals.
Cathy Nguyen Phi, general director at Blue Sky Travel, the Vietnamese partner of American Express Global Business Travel, shares her experience working with LMP Lawyers on an M&A project: “This transaction involved a highly complex negotiation and closing process that spanned over 30 months,” she says.
“Throughout this extended journey, the LMP team remained consistently engaged, responsive and fully committed to supporting us at every stage. Their dedication never wavered, even as the deal evolved over time and presented new challenges.”
