Private equity (PE) funds are always looking for markets with fast growth, scaling potential and a dynamic business ecosystem, factors that Vietnam has been clearly demonstrating in the past decade. The attractiveness of the Vietnamese market comes not only from the profit prospects, but also in the strong transformation of domestic enterprises through strategic investment deals. However, to make the most of this opportunity, investment funds need a partner who is deeply knowledgeable about local laws and practices. These are important aspects to aim for an effective investment transaction.
With deep professional capacity and rich practical experience from a team of lawyers, HM&P Law Firm ("HM&P") officially provides comprehensive legal services to private investment funds, supporting from the stage of investment structuring, legal due diligence, transaction negotiation, investment deployment, post-investment management until divestment.
Comprehensive legal services for private equity funds at HM&P
HM&P understands that every investment fund has different goals and risk appetite. Therefore, our team of lawyers always designs a bespoke legal solution, ensuring that it both complies with Vietnamese laws and meets the requirements of flexibility in the global investment structure.

- Legal due diligence for the target company, including legal review of the business, contracts, assets, land, labor, tax, compliance and potential risks;
