Deal structuring and cross-border investment coordination

Cross-border M&A transactions in Vietnam require careful deal structuring to address regulatory approvals, foreign ownership limitations, tax efficiency, capital controls, and multi-jurisdictional legal considerations. Poor structuring can result in licensing delays, unexpected tax exposure, or post-closing compliance risks.

CyraLaw Insight advises investors and multinational corporations on designing and executing legally sound, commercially efficient, and regulator-approved transaction structures.

Strategic Deal Structuring

We work closely with clients to develop transaction structures aligned with both Vietnamese law and international investment standards.

Our structuring advisory includes:

  1. Selection of appropriate transaction models (share deals, asset deals, staged acquisitions)
  2. Structuring for regulated and conditional business sectors
  3. Compliance with foreign ownership and market access rules
  4. Capital contribution and funding structures
  5. Exit planning and long-term investment flexibility

Each structure is assessed for regulatory feasibility, timing, and risk exposure.

Cross-Border Investment Coordination

We coordinate legal aspects across multiple jurisdictions to ensure seamless transaction execution.

We support:

  1. Multi-jurisdictional legal coordination with overseas counsel
  2. Alignment of Vietnamese transaction documents with foreign law requirements
  3. Cross-border fund flows and capital repatriation planning
  4. Coordination of signing and closing across time zones and regulators
  5. Harmonization of corporate approvals at group level

Our role is to ensure consistency, clarity, and regulatory alignment throughout the investment chain.
