The client wished to convert a debt arising from a loan from its parent company into capital contribution in an economic organization in Vietnam, and to complete the legal procedures needed to record the new capital and update the related registration certificates.
What HDS did
HDS researched and advised on current regulations on converting a loan into capital contribution in a foreign-invested company, and assessed the conditions, options and legal issues arising.

FAQ
Questions About Specialized Services
How do Specialized Services differ from Standardized Services?
Standardized Services handle common procedures through automated workflows, with lawyers controlling the output. Specialized Services are for complex, high-risk matters: lawyers personally study the file, propose options and stay with you throughout the process.
Can I work directly with a lawyer?
Yes. Every specialized matter has a lawyer in charge from the very first discussion. You can choose your preferred lawyer when booking a consultation.
How are Specialized Service fees calculated?
By matter, by consulting hour or by monthly package. HDS sets out the scope of work and fees clearly before starting; additional work is done only with your approval.
Is my case information kept confidential?
Lawyers are bound to keep client information confidential under the Law on Lawyers. HDS uses information only to handle your matter.
Does HDS take cases outside Hanoi?
Yes. Most advisory and drafting work is done online; HDS lawyers can work in person with authorities and courts locally when a matter requires it.
