TOP TIER – Intellectual Property
Legal 500 is an independent legal ranking system based on in-depth research, detailed assessment of firm submissions, representative matters, and direct client feedback. Its methodology is widely regarded as a benchmark for evaluating substantive legal capability and market reputation.
In its assessment of ASL LAW, Legal 500 noted: “With offices in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, ASL Law Firm specialises in intellectual property protection and enforcement, demonstrating notable strengths in cross-border filings, dispute resolution, and IP commercialisation strategies. The practice is led from Hanoi by Pham Duy Khuong, and also benefits from Do Ba Thich’s expertise in IP registration and enforcement.”
This commentary demonstrates that Legal 500 recognises not only the overall strength of ASL LAW’s Intellectual Property practice, but also the leadership role of Mr. Pham Duy Khuong and the significant contribution of Mr. Do Ba Thich in IP registration, protection, and enforcement matters.
The assessment highlights the integration of individual expertise within the firm’s institutional capabilities, reflecting the substantive quality of the IP team across core areas, including intellectual property protection and enforcement, cross-border filings, dispute resolution, and the development and implementation of IP commercialisation strategies.
