Its Vietnam practice reopened in Ho Chi Minh City in 1993, and its office in Hanoi opened a year later.  Cumulatively, it has over 35 years experience operating in Vietnam.

Russin & Vecchi’s Vietnam practice serves both Vietnamese and foreign clients investing, financing, and providing services in Vietnam.

In addition to its corporate practice, Russin & Vecchi has an active M&A, banking and finance, capital markets, real estate, infrastructure, tax, employment law, intellectual property and other practice areas.
