PHAM DO LAW FIRM

Your legal and tax partner for business in Vietnam.

Vietnam is full of promise, and full of challenges. Pham Do delivers comprehensive legal, tax and accounting solutions for foreign investors, from market entry to ongoing operations.

Lawyer Pham Huy Tuan Lawyer Do Thi Thu Hoai

About the firm

Pham Do unites lawyers and tax and accounting professionals whose careers span both government authorities and companies. This dual perspective has instilled in us a firm conviction: legal and tax considerations are inseparable, and only by addressing them in concert can risks be identified and mitigated from the very outset.

Our vision

To be a trusted legal and tax adviser to domestic businesses and foreign investors in Vietnam.

Our mission

To help businesses stay compliant and keep their costs in check, so that owners can focus on running their business with complete peace of mind.

Our Values

Integrity & Sound Judgement

Principled in practice. Clear-sighted in judgement.

The law, the facts and professional standards form the foundation of every decision we make. We never look at an issue in isolation: we examine its substance, its context and its wider implications, so that our advice is both well judged and of real practical value.

Proactive Support & Partnership

Anticipating risk. Standing by our clients.

We do not wait for problems to arise before we act. Pham Do identifies risks early, flags the issues that could affect your business and stays alongside you as you resolve them, run your operations and grow.

Practical Solutions & Efficiency

Not just legally sound. Right for your business.

We go beyond simply telling you what is and is not permitted. Drawing on the law and on commercial reality, we look for solutions that are lawful, workable and efficient, helping you strike the right balance between compliance, risk, cost and commercial performance.

Responsibility & Commitment

We take ownership. We see it through.

We take responsibility for the quality of our expertise, the accuracy of our advice and the way it is delivered. For Pham Do, closing a matter is not the finish line; real value is created only when a client's problem has genuinely been resolved.
