Corporate Documents
Review of business licenses, charters, shareholder agreements, and board resolutions to verify corporate structure and authority.
Contracts
Detailed analysis of key contracts (e.g., supplier, client, or service agreements) to identify potential legal risks or unfavorable terms.
Litigation History
Examination of ongoing or past litigation, arbitration, or disputes that may impact the transaction.
Regulatory Compliance
Assessment of the company’s adherence to industry regulations, environmental laws, and other relevant legal standards.
Intellectual Property

Labor and Employment
Review of employment contracts, collective bargaining agreements, and compliance with labor laws.
Real Estate

Legal due diligence is an in-depth review and evaluation of a company or asset’s legal standing. It involves gathering all relevant legal information, analyzing risks, and assessing potential legal liabilities. The goal is to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the legal landscape surrounding your transaction.
Deep Understanding
Why is Legal Due Diligence Crucial?
“Legal due diligence plays a critical role in preventing unforeseen legal issues and ensuring a smooth transaction. For foreign investors, it’s particularly important to navigate the complexities of local regulations and compliance requirements.”
Some key reasons why legal due diligence is vital include:
Informed Decision-Making
With a comprehensive legal due diligence report, you gain a complete understanding of the business you’re investing in, allowing you to make well-informed decisions that align with your business strategy.
Improved Negotiation Power
Knowledge is power. Armed with a thorough understanding of the legal risks involved, you’re better positioned to negotiate more favorable terms and adjust the transaction structure to mitigate risks.
Identifying Hidden Risks
Business transactions often come with unknown risks. Our due diligence process uncovers any hidden legal issues that could impact the success of your deal, such as unresolved litigation, non-compliant contracts, or regulatory violations.
Protecting Your Investment
Investing without proper legal due diligence can lead to costly mistakes. Our report helps protect your investment by ensuring that all potential legal liabilities are identified and addressed beforehand.
Regulatory Compliance
Vietnam’s legal and regulatory environment is complex and continuously evolving. LTS LAW ensures that all local laws, industry regulations, and compliance requirements are met before you proceed with your transaction.
Our Legal Due Diligence Process
At LTS LAW, we offer a meticulous, step-by-step approach to conducting legal due diligence. Our team of experienced lawyers and legal consultants carefully evaluates every aspect of the business or asset in question. Here’s what our process looks like:
Initial Consultation
We begin by understanding the specific needs of your transaction. Whether you’re acquiring a company, merging with a partner, or making a significant investment, we tailor our approach to match your objectives.
Document Collection and Review
Our team will request and collect all relevant documents, including corporate filings, contracts, licenses, intellectual property records, and more. We conduct a detailed review to assess the legal standing of the company or asset.
Interviews with Key Stakeholders
To gain a deeper understanding of the company’s operations, we often engage in discussions with key stakeholders, such as directors, executives, and legal representatives, to clarify any uncertainties or risks.
Risk Assessment
After gathering the necessary information, we conduct a comprehensive risk assessment. This includes identifying potential legal liabilities, regulatory non-compliance, contract obligations, and any other issues that may pose a risk to the transaction.
Report Preparation
Once the evaluation is complete, we prepare a detailed Legal Due Diligence Report, outlining our findings. The report includes an executive summary, in-depth analysis, and actionable recommendations to address identified risks.
Presentation of Findings and Next Steps
We don’t just hand you a report – we take the time to walk you through our findings, ensuring you fully understand the legal landscape of your transaction. We also provide strategic recommendations to help you mitigate risks and move forward with confidence.
