Dentons, the world’s largest law firm, will combine with leading Vietnamese law firm LuatViet, giving Dentons a presence in the key locations of Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi.

LuatViet has three partners and more than 30 legal professionals. The firm enjoys a strong reputation for world-class legal services in Vietnam. It is widely recognized for leadership in Manufacturing, Real Estate & Construction, Banking & Finance, and individual representation. The combination will lead to significant synergies, in light of Dentons’ strengths in many of these areas.

LuatViet’s reputation as a leading counsel in Vietnam to global clients, coupled with Dentons’ worldwide reach, will connect services to clients in Vietnam. This proposed combination is a critical milestone, as Dentons continues to build its presence across ASEAN by combining with a highly-esteemed firm with whom it has a longstanding relationship.

LuatViet and Dentons have served clients collaboratively for many years, in practice areas such as Banking and Finance, M&A, and Corporate & Investment. Dentons’ proposed combination with one of the oldest firms in Vietnam is a testimony to years of successful collaboration.

It will further advance Dentons’ strategy to become the leading global law firm in the ASEAN region, helping clients to navigate challenges in five countries in the region, and 205 locations across 81 countries around the world.
