Compliance & Corporate Governance

Introduction

ADK VIETNAM LAWYERS / COMPLIANCE & CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Strong governance. Practical compliance. Confident decisions.

ADK Vietnam Lawyers advises businesses on the legal structures, internal rules and compliance arrangements that support responsible management and effective business operations in Vietnam.
As businesses grow, changes in ownership, management and operations can introduce new legal obligations and more complex decision-making. Clear governance helps define who may act, how decisions should be approved and how the interests of the company and its stakeholders are considered. Effective compliance brings those responsibilities into everyday business practice.
Our advice connects Vietnamese legal requirements with each client’s ownership structure, business activities and management priorities. From reviewing corporate documents to developing internal policies and addressing identified concerns, we help clients establish workable arrangements, strengthen accountability and manage legal risks as their businesses evolve.

How we support your business

Corporate Governance

We advise on governance arrangements that reflect the company’s legal form, ownership and management structure. Our work includes reviewing charters, internal governance rules, delegations of authority and procedures for meetings and approvals.
We help clarify the respective roles of owners, governing bodies and management, and advise on shareholder rights, conflicts of interest and related-party matters. The focus is on a clear and documented basis for corporate decisions.

Compliance & Internal Policies

We help clients identify legal obligations relevant to their activities and translate them into internal policies and procedures. Advice may cover codes of conduct, conflicts of interest, gifts and hospitality, anti-bribery controls and other compliance priorities relevant to the business.
We consider how policies will be implemented, who will be responsible and what records should be maintained. This approach helps connect legal requirements with practical responsibilities across the organisation.

Corporate Procedures & Records

We support the preparation and review of meeting documents, resolutions, minutes and other corporate records. We also advise on the approvals and procedural steps associated with changes in management, ownership and internal organisation.
By reviewing the relationship between internal approvals, corporate documents and relevant filings, we help clients maintain consistency between recorded decisions and the actions taken to implement them.

Legal Reviews & Remediation

We conduct targeted legal reviews of governance documents and compliance arrangements to identify gaps, inconsistencies and areas requiring attention. Where concerns arise, we help clients assess their legal implications and consider appropriate responses.
Our support includes prioritising remedial actions, updating documents and procedures, and advising on follow-up communications. We help clients address immediate issues while strengthening the arrangements intended to prevent similar concerns.

Advice designed for implementation

Governance and compliance arrangements should be proportionate to the business they serve. ADK works with clients to understand existing practices, identify priorities and develop recommendations that can be applied by the people responsible for them. Our aim is to provide a clear legal foundation for decisions and a practical path from advice to action.
