Vietthink Law Firm & IP Agent

What Vietthink Law Firm & IP Agent does

Vietthink Law Firm & IP Agent (legal entity: Công Ty Luật TNHH Vietthink) is a privately held Vietnamese commercial law firm headquartered in Hanoi, with a representative office in Ho Chi Minh City and approximately 33 employees. Founded in 2015, the firm delivers advisory and representation across corporate law, domestic and foreign investment, M&A, intellectual property, banking and finance, public procurement, real estate, customs, and litigation. Its client base is concentrated at the high-value end of the market: large Vietnamese conglomerates and state-owned enterprises (e.g., Vietcombank, Sovico Holdings, Vingroup, Everland, Hapro), foreign-invested manufacturers (e.g., Sumitomo Electric Industries / SEI Vietnam, Panasonic Industrial Device Vietnam), and municipal governments (Hanoi People's Committee, Quảng Ninh Province). The firm is recognized for handling landmark matters such as legal advisory for the Sóc Sơn waste-to-energy plant (5,000 tons/day, the largest in Vietnam), multi-trillion VND M&A transactions, and IP portfolio protection for major Vietnamese groups.

The firm operates a traditional professional services revenue model: legal services are quoted-based, billed by engagement, with rates varying by practice area, seniority, and complexity, and the firm advertises a blended base-plus-commission ("hoa hồng vụ việc") compensation structure for lawyers. Distribution is direct through the two physical offices; client acquisition relies on professional reputation, referrals, government and institutional introductions, thought-leadership publishing on vietthink.vn, and memberships in international bodies including the ASEAN Intellectual Property Association (Asean IPA) and the Asian Patent Attorneys Association (APAA). There is no proprietary technology platform, no self-serve digital product, and no developer-facing API — service delivery is entirely human-advisory.

Vietthink has been ranked Top Tier in Projects & Energy by The Legal 500 Asia Pacific 2026, and received certificates of merit from the Vietnam Bar Federation and the Hanoi People's Committee in 2025. Its Director, Dr. Lê Đình Vinh (Tiến sỹ, Luật sư), was re-elected to the Board of the Vietnam Peace and Development Council for the 2025–2030 term, reinforcing institutional ties. The Deputy Director, Dương Thị Vân Anh, serves as APAA Councillor for Vietnam for 2025–2027, anchoring the firm's international IP positioning.
