Herman, Henry & Dominic was truly honoured to host the recent APAC LAW Meeting in Saigon, held at Park Hyatt Saigon in the heart of the city.
It was a privilege to welcome LAW friends and colleagues from across the region and beyond, including China, Taiwan, Singapore, Australia, Japan, Malaysia, Canada, and many other jurisdictions.
We would also like to express our sincere thanks to Ms. Thao Nguyen, CEO of TVS and our long-time client, for sharing valuable and insightful market data with the LAW members. For lawyers who advise businesses every day, especially in cross-border matters, understanding the market is just as important as understanding the law. Her sharing gave our members a clearer and more practical view of Vietnam’s business environment. Our sincere thanks also go to Mr. Victor Burrill, our long-time friend and Chairman of the Business Executive Network in Vietnam, for leading a very meaningful coaching session on working across cultures. It was a perfect topic for lawyers who work across jurisdictions, languages, business practices, and cultural expectations every day.
What made the meeting special was not only the professional exchange. Of course, we discussed legal developments, cross-border work, market updates, client matters, and the skills needed for our profession today. But just as importantly, we shared meals, conversations, drinks, sports, laughter, and time together as friends.
That has always been one of the most meaningful traditions of LAW. For almost 40 years, LAW members have continued to meet regularly, regionally and globally, not only to strengthen professional cooperation, but also to build real relationships across countries, legal systems, languages, and cultures.
In the welcome remarks, our partner Henry shared a simple thought: Vietnam’s own story is a reminder that peace works. A country once known to many for war is now a place of energy, business, young people, new ideas, and open doors. In a world that often feels divided, meetings like this matter. Every friendship formed, every referral made, every client helped across borders, and every conversation shared around the same table is, in its own small way, a contribution to peace and cooperation.
On behalf of Herman, Henry & Dominic, thank you to all LAW members who came to Vietnam and made this meeting so warm, meaningful, and memorable. We were very happy to welcome you to Saigon, and we are grateful for the trust, friendship, and spirit you brought with you.
We already look forward to the next LAW meeting.
