UniLaw’s Ho Chi Minh City office is at 72 Le Thanh Ton, Sai Gon Ward. This is the office that carries the port and commercial work: cargo moving through Cat Lai and Cai Mep, declined insurance claims, contract disputes between trading companies, and foreign-invested projects in the south.
What the Ho Chi Minh City office is asked to do
- Maritime and cargo — shortage and damage claims, charterparty and bill of lading disputes, ship arrest and release, and the survey evidence behind a claim.
- Insurance — claims declined or cut back by the insurer: cargo, marine hull, property and liability cover, through to litigation and recovery.
- Commercial contracts and debt recovery — supply, distribution and service contracts; unpaid invoices; security and enforcement.
- Corporate and foreign investment — incorporation, capital contribution and share purchase, M&A, and compliance after licensing.
- Land and real estate — project sites, leases and disputes over land use rights.
Working with the Ho Chi Minh City office
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Send the file | By email, Zalo or WhatsApp, or bring the documents to the office |
| 2. Review | A lawyer reads the file within 1–2 working days |
| 3. Answer | Whether the matter has a basis, which route to take, and how much time is left — notice periods and time bars in cargo and insurance work are short |
| 4. Fee | Quoted in writing before any engagement is signed |
The first conversation is not charged. Where a vessel or a cargo is involved and a deadline is running, say so in the first message: those files are taken the same day.
Language
