Summary : @

On November 26th, 2014, in Vietnam, the Investment Law 2014 and the Enterprise Law 2014 were approved in the National Assembly, for the purpose of the further promotion of M&A and other investment activity by foreign companies. The Investment Law 2014 and the Enterprise Law 2014 are to be in effect from July 1st, 2015.

In this seminar, attorneys from the Vietnamese law firm of LNT & Partners (LNT) will speak about the Investment Law 2014 and the Enterprise Law 2014, as well as other laws and regulations in Vietnam regarding M&A, tax and labor systems, and contract enforcement (by, among other things, making comparisons with Indonesia, Myanmar, and Thailand), and under the assumption that there may be Japanese companies that are carry out M&A and other investment activity in Vietnam. Furthermore, attorneys from the law firm of Blakemore & Mitsuki (B&M) that have deep expertise in such subject areas will make comments about points to consider from the viewpoint of Japanese companies. In addition, a certified public accountant from Ernst & Young ShinNihon LLC (EY) will speak about accounting-related issues.

This seminar is perfect for any companies that are considering making inroads into Vietnam, or any companies that have already entered the Vietnam market but are seeking to use M&A to further expand business operations. In only 5 hours and 25 minutes, it is a great way to get the most up-to-date legal information on the most important subject areas.
