As Vietnam continues to attract global investment, legal preparedness is becoming increasingly important. Investment protection does not begin when a dispute arises; it starts with how an investment is structured, documented and managed from the outset.
At the upcoming “Structuring Investments and Navigating Disputes: A Vietnam Investment Masterclass”, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Pham Duy Nghia – Vice President of Vietnam International Arbitration Centre (VIAC), will join as featured guest speaker to share his insights on “Commercial Dispute Resolution in Vietnam: Recent Developments and Practical Considerations for Investors”.
Hosted by A&G Asia in collaboration with VIAC and the Singapore Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam, the session will explore key legal and practical issues across the investment lifecycle, including recent developments in commercial dispute resolution, investment structuring and risk mitigation, and Investor-State arbitration trends.

The insightful masterclass covers the full investment lifecycle: from structuring an investment in Vietnam for maximum protection; understanding your rights under international investment treaties when disputes with states arise; to navigating the new SIAC and VIAC arbitration rules and regional enforcement regimes for arbitral awards. The masterclass offers a valuable opportunity for investors, businesses, in-house counsel, and legal practitioners to gain practical insights into investment structuring, risk management, and dispute resolution in Vietnam.
