Antitrust & Competition in Vietnam
Vietnam’s rapid growth and integration into global markets make antitrust and competition law a critical area for both local companies and foreign investors.
At DN Legal, we help clients navigate merger control, anti-competitive conduct investigations, compliance, and market-entry strategies.
Our strength lies in combining international standards with local mastery. We work closely with multinational corporations, investment funds, and Vietnamese market leaders to ensure their transactions and operations align with Vietnam’s competition framework—protecting deals from regulatory delays and reputational risk while building long-term business confidence.
