Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A)

Business mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are an inevitable trend in the globalized economy and one of the factors contributing to the growth of businesses and countries. From a legal perspective, M&A is a complex investment activity, related to many different issues such as securities law, corporate law, competition law, etc.

M&A activities in Vietnam are mainly regulated in the Civil Code, Enterprise Law, Investment Law, Securities Law 2019, Competition Law 2018, and in accordance with international commitments related to M&A activities to which Vietnam has committed. Due to the complex nature of M&A, the law on M&A not only covers the issue of ownership or target corporate governance but also deals with related issues such as registration to change the joint owner of the enterprise, registration of M&A procedures, tax obligations, valuation of target enterprises, competition law to control M&A activities in Vietnam.
