Labor Law Consulting

The importance of labor law consulting

Labor relations are one of the most important factors determining the stability and sustainable development of an enterprise. A legally compliant human resources policy helps minimize the risk of disputes, retain key personnel and build a healthy working environment. However, Vietnam's labor law system frequently changes. If businesses do not update it promptly, it is easy to violate it, leading to administrative fines, compensation or prolonged disputes.

Using labor law consulting services from professional lawyers helps businesses:

• Proactively comply with the 2019 Labor Code and related decrees and circulars.
• Minimize litigation risks and dispute resolution costs.
• Develop appropriate regulations and collective labor agreements, harmonizing the interests of both businesses and employees.
