It was a real pleasure for VILAF to be one of the presenting sponsors of the ALB Vietnam In-House Legal Summit 2026, held in Ho Chi Minh City on 15 October!

At the Summit, VILAF Partners Duyen Ha Vo and Ngoc Luong Trinh shared their perspectives on “M&A Dealcraft: Cross-Border Capital, Controls and Exits,” highlighting key legal and practical considerations in structuring and navigating cross-border M&A transactions in Vietnam against the backdrop of the country’s sweeping legal and regulatory reforms.

Reflecting on the event, Ms. Duyen Ha Vo shared:

“Vietnam’s M&A landscape is undergoing significant changes, with far-reaching legal and regulatory reforms bringing both new opportunities and challenges for investors and dealmakers. It was a pleasure to exchange perspectives on how these developments are reshaping transaction structures, risk allocation and exit strategies. 

We were equally delighted to reconnect with so many friends and colleagues from the in-house legal community and fellow law firms, exchange experiences, and forge new connections. It was also rewarding to learn from the thoughtful perspectives shared by distinguished speakers from leading in-house legal teams and other law firms.

A big thank you to Asian Legal Business (ALB) and Thomson Reuters for putting together an engaging and insightful program, and to everyone who joined us and contributed to making the day so enjoyable and rewarding!”
