\nINVESTMENT
\nCONSULTANCY
\nSince participating in WTO in 2007, Vietnam has relentlessly changed policies and
\nregulations to attract foreign investment sources into the country. However, foreign
\ninvestors are still under the strict control of state agencies and must perform much more
\ncomplicated administrative procedures than domestic investors. Moreover, the overlap
\nof regulations causes a lot of difficulties for investors to research and comply with the
\nlaw.
\nTo improve and enhance the legal system to support investors with a favorable
\nbusiness environment, the Law on Enterprise and Law on Investment issued in 2014 have
\nfixed many defections and created advantageous conditions for foreign investors to
\noperate their businesses in Vietnam. Nowadays, Vietnam is one of the most
\ninvestment-attractive countries in the world. With deep knowledge of Enterprise and
\nInvestment regulations, Apolat Legal has numerous experiences in providing legal
\nservices for foreigners investing in Vietnam and for domestic enterprises receiving
\ninvestment from foreign partners. We have worked on many large projects in different
\nfields and assisted investors not only in one independent procedure but also in an entire
\nproject investment process.
\nApolat Legal consults the investors in identifying the most efficient legal
\nstructure for their business transactions; we assist them in assessing
\ntheir partners and potential business locations and undertake due diligence
\non targeted companies or properties. In addition, we draft, review, and give
\nopinions regarding transaction documents, represent investors in
\nnegotiating all terms and conditions of such documents, monitor the entire
\ninvestment process and withdraw investment capital to protect investors
\nfrom any potential risks. Our experiences allow us to help investors easily
\nadjust their projects, which are typically complicated.
\nMoreover, Apolat Legal assists investors in planning their financial status
\nfrom a tax perspective. Tax planning aims to optimally exploit other
\ncategories of financial plans by making the best use of tax policies in
\npossible conditions. Making good tax plans will allow other factors of
