As Vietnam’s capital market continues to deepen and align with international standards, an Initial Public Offering (IPO) is not only a powerful capital-raising tool but also a strategic move to elevate a company's reputation and transparency. However, preparing for and executing an IPO involves far more than meeting financial indicators, it also requires strict, systematic legal compliance. To help businesses achieve successful and secure fundraising, HM&P Law Firm (“HM&P”) offers comprehensive legal advisory services for IPOs, serving as a strategic partner throughout every critical stage of the process.
IPO - A transformational legal journey
An Initial Public Offering (IPO) is a complex process that demands businesses to concurrently satisfy stringent financial, governance, and legal requirements. From a legal perspective, companies must thoroughly review their internal structure, contractual framework, asset ownership, governance mechanisms, and compliance systems to ensure transparency and avoid legal risks after going public.
Post-IPO, if a company intends to be listed on the stock exchange, it must strictly comply with listing requirements related to charter capital, operational history, audited financial statements, and the absence of outstanding tax debts or unresolved legal disputes. The process of dossier preparation, information disclosure, and sharing offers requires close collaboration among the company, financial advisors, auditors, and, most importantly, a team of specialized legal experts.
