LNT & Partners provided legal advisory to a client on restructuring its ownership structure, including the establishment of a foreign parent company to replace the domestic holding entity in Vietnam, and designing a compliant legal structure for cross-border investment and employee management.

Our advisory covered:
1️⃣ Advising on corporate restructuring and relocating the parent company abroad
2️⃣ Advising on an ESOP issued by the foreign parent company for employees of the Vietnamese subsidiary
3️⃣ Advising on and completing the outbound investment registration with the Ministry of Finance under a share swap structure — which did not involve any capital outflow from Vietnam

The share swap model has become an increasingly popular option among Vietnamese enterprises looking to expand internationally. However, obtaining investment approval under this structure requires a comprehensive understanding of investment, corporate, and tax regulations.

We are honored to have assisted our client in this project and sincerely thank you for placing your trust in LNT& Partners' legal services.

The project was successfully handled by Lawyers and Associates: Mr. Nguyen Xuan Thuy (Project Lead), Ms. Vu Thanh Minh, Ms. Nguyen Thi Anh Hong, Mr. Nguyen Cong Binh Phuong, Ms. Vo Ngoc Dai Trang, Ms. Ho My Ky Tan, Ms. Tran Minh Thao, and Ms. Do Thi Kim Duyen.
