Core Services Offered

1. Legal Due Diligence
   Legal due diligence is a cornerstone of any successful M&A transaction, and Unilaw’s team of experienced M&A lawyers excels in conducting this critical process with precision and depth. Our approach involves an exhaustive review of the target company’s legal, financial, and operational framework to uncover any potential risks, liabilities, or hidden issues. This includes examining contracts, corporate records, licenses, intellectual property rights, litigation history, and regulatory compliance. By identifying these aspects early in the process, we provide our clients with a clear and accurate understanding of the target entity, ensuring they make informed decisions. This step not only mitigates risks but also lays the groundwork for negotiations and future business integration.
2. Contract Drafting and Negotiation
   Contracts form the backbone of any merger or acquisition, and Unilaw is committed to drafting and negotiating agreements that prioritize and protect our clients’ interests. Our lawyers focus on developing detailed, robust contracts that clearly define the rights and obligations of all parties involved. This includes purchase agreements, shareholder agreements, non-compete clauses, and other ancillary documents necessary for a successful transaction. During negotiations, we leverage our deep understanding of both Vietnamese laws and the commercial landscape to secure the most favorable terms for our clients. Our team ensures that every provision in the agreement is precise, enforceable, and tailored to meet our clients’ specific needs, minimizing ambiguity and potential disputes.
3. Regulatory Compliance
   M&A transactions in Vietnam often involve navigating a complex web of laws and regulations related to business, investment, taxation, labor, and environmental compliance. Unilaw’s M&A lawyers provide end-to-end guidance to help clients adhere to these regulatory requirements. From obtaining necessary approvals from authorities such as the Ministry of Planning and Investment or the State Bank of Vietnam to ensuring compliance with competition laws, we streamline the entire process. Our proactive approach minimizes bureaucratic delays and potential legal pitfalls, ensuring that transactions are executed smoothly and within legal boundaries. We also offer strategic advice to clients on structuring their deals in a way that optimizes compliance while achieving their business goals.
4. Post-Transaction Support
   Beyond the initial stages of an M&A transaction, Unilaw continues to support clients through the post-transaction phase. This includes ensuring the smooth transfer of ownership, integration of business operations, compliance with ongoing obligations, and resolution of any unforeseen issues. Our goal is to help clients achieve long-term success by addressing both immediate and future legal and operational challenges.
