Tuan Anh joined our firm in August 2015 after spending approximately seven years practicing law at local firms, which included one of the first-tier local law firms in Vietnam. With extensive expertise in data protection, M&A, labor law, compliance-related matters, e-commerce platforms, and corporate crisis management, he provides his clients and Japanese attorneys with tailored legal services in those practice areas in Vietnam. His legal advice, solutions, and recommendations are always appreciated by his Japanese colleagues in our firm’s Vietnam practice group due to their reliability, practicality, and appropriateness. He also has lectured clients’ employees on anti-corruption and compliance matters, labor regulations, and personal data protection laws. Furthermore, he is often asked to assist the JCCI in Vietnam in commenting on key drafts of laws and decrees (e.g., investment, enterprise, data, and personal data protection laws and guiding decrees) promulgated by the governmental bodies of Vietnam. He has collaborated with the operator of one of the fastest-growing and most widely used technology platforms, based in Atlanta, Georgia, on certain writing projects and a webinar on data privacy regulations related to Vietnam.
