ADK VIETNAM LAWYERS / LABOUR

Legal clarity for the decisions that shape your workforce

ADK Vietnam Lawyers provides labour and employment advice to businesses managing their workforce in Vietnam, from establishing employment arrangements to navigating sensitive personnel matters and organisational change.

Employment relationships bring together legal obligations, operational needs and the expectations of the people involved. Decisions about contracts, remuneration, performance or termination can have consequences beyond the individual matter, affecting workplace relationships, business continuity and reputation.

We work with management, human resources and legal teams to understand the circumstances behind each instruction and provide advice suited to the business. Our approach combines legal analysis with careful attention to documentation, procedures and communication, helping clients make informed decisions and implement them consistently.

Supporting employers.
Understanding workplace relationships.

From everyday HR questions to decisions requiring particular care, ADK helps clients assess their options and prepare a practical way forward that takes account of both business needs and employees’ lawful rights.

Employment Foundations

We draft and review employment contracts, probation arrangements, internal labour rules and employee policies. Our advice addresses the terms governing the relationship, including duties, remuneration, benefits, working arrangements and confidentiality.

For businesses introducing group policies or updating existing documents, we help assess their suitability for the Vietnamese workplace and identify adjustments needed for implementation. We also advise on relevant documentation and procedural requirements.

Workforce Change & Sensitive Decisions

We advise on employment issues arising from changes in roles, business reorganisations and transactions. We help clients consider the implications for existing employment arrangements and prepare the documents and steps needed to implement proposed changes.

Our support also covers disciplinary matters, negotiated separations and termination. We assess the circumstances, available records and potential exposure, with particular attention to the legal basis, procedural approach and communication with the individuals concerned.

Day-to-Day HR Advice

ADK supports clients with questions arising during employment, including working time, leave, compensation, benefits, social insurance obligations and performance management. We help HR and management teams assess individual situations and apply policies consistently.

Labour Disputes & Responses

Where disagreements arise, we advise on the assessment of claims, preparation of evidence and available settlement or dispute resolution options.

We support negotiations and representation in appropriate proceedings, and assist with responses and supporting documents when labour authorities raise enquiries.
