Vision & Associates

The banking group at Vision & Associates has recently been advising financial regulators on Vietnam’s legal framework as well as the establishment and operation of credit institutions. Instructed by one of the borrowers on the $1.2 billion Cam Lo-Tuy Loan highway project, Luu Tien Ngoc and Dang Trong Hieu have been reviewing and revising the facility agreement and other documents.

Pham Nghiem Xuan Bac leads Vision & Associates’s dispute resolution and litigation practice, which has been particularly successful at representing retainer clients, such as Vietmindo, an Indonesian mining company, and Kei Sei, a Japanese rail company, before courts such as the People’s Court of Hanoi City. Le Tuan Anh advised Lintec on the successful settlement of a construction contract dispute.

Luu Tien Ngoc and Dang Trong Hieu, of the insurance practice at Vision & Associates, advised Asia Capital Reinsurance Group on a review of the establishment licence granted by Vietnamese authorities to a representative office of the organisation in Vietnam.

Bolstered by a team of more than 45 fee earners in its IP group, Vision & Associates advises domestic and foreign clients on all sectors of IP including copyright, designs, patents and trade marks. Headed by Pham Nghiem Xuan Bac, the practice regularly cooperates with reputable IP firms in Cambodia, China, Europe, Singapore and Thailand. Do Quang Hung represented Ponaflex, a Korean plastic hose manufacturer, in a trade mark dispute. The NOIP initially rejected the client’s application but the firm was able to convince the authorities that Ponaflex was the appropriate mark owner.   

Vision & Associates’s IT, media and telecommunications team tends to handle matters involving internet privacy, data protection and transfer, technology licensing and outsourcing. Dang Trong Hieu also advised pharmaceutical company Pfizer on how Vietnamese laws affected the use of e-signatures in its local operations.
