After operating and building its foundation in key industrial centers in the North, FLAT LAW FIRM has officially expanded its presence in Ho Chi Minh City from September 2025.
This move marks a new stage of development in the firm’s strategy to build a legal advisory network serving businesses and investors operating across Vietnam.
Foundation in Northern industrial centers
Before expanding into the southern market, FLAT LAW FIRM established and operated offices in:
- Bac Ninh – a hub of manufacturing and high-tech industry
- Nghe An – an emerging investment destination with a large industrial land bank
Our presence in these localities allows us to work directly alongside manufacturing projects, industrial real estate, and large-scale investment activities, particularly in processing, manufacturing, and infrastructure.
Operating in areas with a high density of FDI projects has helped our team accumulate practical experience in handling:
- Complex investment structures
- Land issues and industrial park land leases
- Licensing procedures and sector-specific compliance
- Risk management during factory operations
Expanding into Ho Chi Minh City – a strategic move
Ho Chi Minh City is the country’s largest financial and commercial center, and a hub for many M&A transactions and cross-border investment projects.
Expanding here is not simply about adding a location; it means:
- Strengthening access to strategic transactions
- Supporting clients in M&A deals and restructurings
- Serving the legal needs of businesses operating across multiple localities
The connection between our Northern offices and Ho Chi Minh City creates a seamless advisory system, enabling us to handle legal issues arising in multiple localities simultaneously.
Development orientation for the next phase
The market expansion from September 2025 reflects FLAT LAW FIRM’s sustainable development orientation: focusing on professional depth while increasing our presence to better serve large-scale investment projects.
We continue to pursue an approach based on:
- Designing strategic legal structures
- Managing cross-border investment risks
- Protecting our clients’ control and long-term value
Expanding into Ho Chi Minh City is an important step in our journey to build a solid legal foundation for the business community and investors in Vietnam.
