On the occasion of its 13th anniversary, ASL LAW Firm officially expanded its operations into Central Vietnam with the Grand Opening of its Da Nang Office, located on the 16th Floor, Vietinbank Building, 36 Tran Quoc Toan Street, Hai Chau Ward, Da Nang. The opening ceremony was held on September 22, 2026, at the Grand Tourane Hotel in Da Nang, marking another step in the development of ASL LAW’s operational network in Vietnam and internationally.
ASL LAW’s presence in Da Nang comes against the backdrop of the city’s ongoing development of new economic sectors, ranging from logistics, seaports, aviation, free trade zones, and an international financial center to high-tech industries, semiconductors, artificial intelligence, new energy, and high-quality tourism. These developments are accompanied by increasingly diverse legal needs for both domestic enterprises and international investors.
From Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City to the United States, and now Da Nang, ASL LAW’s expansion has been guided by the development of an operational network capable of connecting the legal needs of businesses across different markets.
The Development of ASL LAW – Expanding Legal Services to Clients
ASL LAW was established in Vietnam in 2013. Throughout its operations, the Company has gradually expanded the scope of its Vietnam corporate legal services from the Hanoi market to other major economic centers, while also developing its capacity to support clients in matters involving foreign elements and cross-border transactions.
In June 2022, ASL LAW established its office in Ho Chi Minh City, expanding its presence in one of Vietnam’s largest economic and offshore investment centers. With operations in both Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, ASL LAW has been able to engage more closely with businesses in the country’s two key economic regions.
Following its expansion into Ho Chi Minh City, ASL LAW continued to develop its presence in Singapore, with an office at 1 Raffles Place, #19, One Raffles Place, Singapore 048616. Singapore was selected as an important hub for connecting ASL LAW’s legal operations with businesses and investors across the region.
In March 2026, ASL LAW further expanded its operations into the United States through the establishment of ASL LAW PLLC, headquartered at 3800 American Blvd. West, Suite 1500-8005, Bloomington, Minnesota 55431, United States, with business registration number 16-31206600021.
Its presence in the United States provides an additional operational hub in the North American market, while creating opportunities for ASL LAW to support business in Vietnam in investment, business operations, and rights protection in the United States, as well as international clients seeking to operate in Vietnam.
Against this backdrop, the Grand Opening of the Da Nang Office in September 2026 represents the next step in ASL LAW Firm’s network expansion strategy, this time focusing on Central Vietnam.
Da Nang and the Legal Needs Arising from Emerging Economic Sectors
Da Nang is undergoing significant changes in its economic development orientation. In addition to traditional service industries, the city is promoting the development of sectors with higher levels of technology transfer services, finance, and added value.
The development of logistics systems, deep-water seaports, aviation, free trade zones, an international financial center, high-tech industries, semiconductors, chip design and manufacturing, artificial intelligence, new energy, and high-quality tourism is creating a business ecosystem with a wide range of new legal requirements.
Projects in these sectors may simultaneously involve investment, corporate matters, commercial contracts, intellectual property services, technology transfer services, Advising Employment Law and Labour Law in Vietnam, corporate governance, international trade, taxation, legal compliance, and dispute resolution.
For projects involving foreign investors, legal issues may also extend to investment structures, procedures for establishing and operating business in Vietnam, investors’ rights and obligations, relationships with domestic partners, and cross-border transactions.
The development of Da Nang therefore not only creates new offshore investment opportunities but also increases the need for legal services that are capable of responding to increasingly complex business models.
The establishment of the Da Nang Office is intended to provide an additional point of access to these legal needs while connecting legal operations in Central Vietnam with the Company’s operations in other locations and its international network.
Building a Team of Lawyers Without Geographical Limitations
Alongside the expansion of its operational locations, ASL LAW has set a goal of establishing offices in four countries by 2028. This direction is not limited to creating additional physical locations, but is aimed at building a team of lawyers whose scope of work is not constrained by geographical boundaries.
In today’s legal environment, many business matters no longer fall within the boundaries of a single country. A Vietnamese enterprise may invest in the United States, register and protect intellectual property in multiple countries, enter into contracts with partners in Singapore or Japan, while maintaining its manufacturing and operating mechanism of business in Vietnam.
Conversely, foreign investors implementing projects in Vietnam may require advice on Vietnamese law alongside legal matters arising in the country where the investor is headquartered or conducts business activities.
ASL LAW’s operating model is designed to address these interconnected needs. Rather than linking Vietnam corporate legal services solely to a particular location, the Company focuses on building a team of lawyers capable of coordinating and providing legal services to clients across multiple markets.
The expansion of its presence in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Singapore, and the United States, together with the establishment of the Da Nang Office, forms part of the development of this system.
The 2028 goal of establishing a presence in four countries is likewise part of the same direction: developing an international network alongside the professional capabilities of its lawyers, so that the scope of legal services is not entirely dependent on the geographical distance between lawyers and clients.
From Da Nang, Connecting Central Vietnamese Businesses with International Markets
Da Nang occupies an important position in the economic network of Central Vietnam and has the potential to become a connecting point between Vietnamese businesses and international markets.
For businesses in the region, expanding operations overseas may give rise to a wide range of legal matters relating to investment, intellectual property services, contracts, corporate establishment and governance, mergers and acquisitions, Advising Employment Law and Labour Law in Vietnam, international trade, and dispute resolution.
In such circumstances, access to a legal team with experience in handling cross-border matters can be an important factor in preparing and implementing business plans.
At the same time, the development of Da Nang may attract additional international investors and businesses seeking opportunities in Central Vietnam. For these clients, legal needs may begin with understanding the Vietnamese legal environment and continue throughout the process of investing, operating, expanding, or restructuring their businesses.
With its presence in Da Nang, ASL LAW Firm is better positioned to engage directly with businesses and investors in the region while connecting their legal needs with the Company’s operational system and international network.
From this perspective, the Da Nang Office is not only part of ASL LAW’s Central Vietnam market development but also contributes to its broader direction of connecting local businesses with cross-border business and offshore investment activities.
The 13th Anniversary and a New Stage of Development
The opening of the Da Nang Office on the occasion of ASL LAW’s 13th anniversary represents another milestone in the Company’s development since its establishment in 2013.
Over the past 13 years, the Company’s operational system has gradually expanded from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City, Singapore, and the United States, while continuing to develop its international cooperation network. Each new location has been established in response to specific needs arising from the expansion of the Company’s Vietnam corporate legal services and its support for clients.
Da Nang opens a new avenue for ASL LAW’s engagement with Central Vietnam, where an increasing number of new projects and economic sectors are emerging alongside growing participation by international businesses and investors.
Going forward, ASL LAW will continue to develop the operations of its Da Nang Office, strengthen connections with businesses and partners in the region, and maintain coordination with the Company’s other offices and international network.
The goal of establishing a presence in four countries by 2028 and building a team of lawyers whose scope of work is not limited by geography represents a long-term direction for the Company’s next stage of development. On this foundation, ASL LAW Firm will continue to provide legal services that respond to the evolving needs of businesses, investment markets, and the domestic and international business environment.
