VILAF hosts 30th anniversary staff retreat

The event was held to pay tribute to the exceptional contributions made by VILAF’s staff and their families, whose dedication has been instrumental in the firm’s resounding success.

VILAF emerged during the early stages of Vietnam’s foreign investment laws, a time when the nation embarked on a transformative journey by implementing a series of economic and political reforms to foster private investment and integrate the nation into the regional and global economy.

VILAF has blossomed from a modest team of less than 10 lawyers into a preeminent law firm in Vietnam with nearly 100. The retreat served as an opportunity to honour the firm’s staff, an impressive one-third of whom have devoted from 9 to 20 years to the company.

VILAF has established an illustrious track record of providing counsel on impactful and innovative cross-border transactions in Vietnam.

The firm has been at the forefront of numerous pivotal domains, spearheading advancements in the country’s legal landscape.

This dedication to excellence has been consistently recognised by esteemed international legal publications, including Legal 500, IFLR1000, AsiaLaw, Chambers, Asia Legal Business, Benchmark Litigation, In-House Community, and Vietnam M&A Forum, all of which have consistently ranked VILAF as a top-tier law firm across a wide range of practice areas.

Vo Ha Duyen, chairperson of VILAF remarked, "The 30th anniversary is a unique opportunity to express gratitude. We sincerely appreciate our founding partners for laying the foundations of our remarkable journey."

“We are indebted to our partners for their exceptional leadership in navigating the challenges of the economy. We also thank our dedicated lawyers and staff, whose passion and efforts have elevated our legal practice to new heights. Lastly, and most importantly, we express profound gratitude to our cherished clients and friends, whose unwavering trust has fuelled our growth and purpose,” Duyen said.

Bui Anh Ngoc, Hanoi managing partner added, “VILAF has been greatly honoured to have been assisting foreign investors in Vietnam for the last 30 years, and we are committed to providing the highest quality services to our clients into the future. Our extensive experience gained over three decades will further enable our lawyers, a brilliant group of legal minds, to better serve the demands of your successful businesses in Vietnam’s increasingly complex and integrated economy.”
