From Decree 13 to the new Law on Personal Data Protection, Vietnam’s data privacy framework has taken a major leap forward, bringing with it stricter requirements, broader obligations, and new compliance challenges.

What do these changes really mean for businesses operating in Vietnam?

Our webinar will deliver a clear, accessible breakdown of the new law, the most important changes compared to Decree 13. Whether you are in compliance, legal, HR, you will come away with insights on what to do next to meet new obligations, avoid risks, and how to align with the new requirements and minimise regulatory exposure.

On 24 June 2025, Vietnam’s National Assembly passed Law No. 81/2025/QH15 amending the Law on the Organisation of People’s Courts, which took effect on 1 July 2025. This landmark legislation introduces a three-tier court system, the Supreme People’s Court, Provincial People’s Courts, and Regional People’s Courts, replacing the previous four-tier model.

These reforms, part of Vietnam’s broader administrative restructuring, aim to enhance judicial efficiency and clarity. Notable changes include:

  • Reorganisation of court systems with three tiers and establishment of regional courts;
  • Reallocation of judicial responsibilities among court levels; and
  • Technical amendments to 13 specialised laws to align with the new structure.

Join us in our webinar as we discuss the scope and impact of these reforms, practical implications for court procedures, and what businesses, legal practitioners, and investors should know going forward.

 

We co-presented with MDD Forensic Accountants in delivering an incisive presentation of case studies that explore delay-driven disputes in construction and contractual claims. The first case study examined a power plant project that experienced a delay in reaching its commercial operation date, focusing on the application of Delay in Start-Up (DSU) cover under a Construction All Risks (CAR) policy. The session explored policy wording variations, revenue classifications (capacity versus energy revenue), the treatment of liquidated damages, and the collaboration with delay experts in determining the insured loss period. The second case study centred on a contractual dispute involving hotel renovations, where additional damage—such as a burst water pipeline—resulted in prolonged delays and considerable economic loss. Discussion points included hotel-specific revenue and cost elements, missed peak season earnings, inflated operational costs, and reputational impacts arising from disrupted timelines.
