Application to Open an office in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Mori Hamada & Matsumoto is pleased to announce that it has applied to the Vietnamese authorities for permission to open an office in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. MHM aims to start the Ho Chi Minh City office in the middle of this year.

MHM offices outside Japan include Beijing (1998), Shanghai (2005), Singapore (2012), and Yangon (2014). In 2017, MHM integrated its Bangkok office with Chandler & Thong-ek to form Chandler MHM Limited. MHM also has a Jakarta Desk in the offices of AKSET Law.

There has been a recent increase in client demand for legal services from Japanese lawyers on-site in Vietnam, as a result of expansion in Vietnam by Japanese companies. To ensure that the firm meets the needs of its clients, we have decided to make an application to the Vietnamese authorities to open an office in Ho Chi Minh City. We hope to start operations in the middle of this year.

Further announcements will be made with regard to the opening date and other details, when the license to open the Ho Chi Minh City office is granted.
