Independent review
Our editorial verdict
Editorial score
Strengths
- +Independent, full-service Vietnamese firm founded in 2006 — not a foreign-network franchise dependent on outside partners.
- +Genuinely staffed Hanoi office in Pacific Place, central Hoàn Kiếm district, with its own real estate disputes lead.
- +Real estate practice ranked Tier 2 by Legal 500 Asia-Pacific and 'Highly Recommended' by Chambers & Partners.
Watch-outs
- −No fee schedule published for property mandates; buyers must request and compare quotes themselves.
- −Real estate financing expertise is led from Ho Chi Minh City rather than Hanoi for cross-border structuring questions.
- −Public rankings profiles skew towards institutional and corporate clients rather than individual retail buyers.
