Legal Support
Due diligence and document verification for every cross-border move
Move across borders with legal certainty
Before you invest, acquire or sign, know exactly what you are taking on. Our Legal Support pairs independent Legal Due Diligence with forensic Document Verification, so businesses moving between Vietnam and Singapore can commit with confidence.
Legal Due Diligence
An independent review of a target company, asset or counterparty — surfacing the legal risks that sit beneath a deal before you sign.
Explore due diligence →Document Verification
Forensic examination of questionable documents — confirming that certificates, contracts and corporate records are genuine, not altered or forged.
Explore verification →Legal Due Diligence
An M&A, a joint venture or a new investment is only as sound as the legal footing beneath it. We review the target the way a careful buyer would — verifying its standing, its licences and its liabilities against the official registers in both Vietnam and Singapore.
Corporate standing & ownership
Entity status, shareholding, capital contributions and group structure verified against ACRA (Singapore) or the National Business Registration Portal (Vietnam).
Licences & permits
Investment certificates (IRC/ERC), registered business lines and sector-specific approvals confirmed as valid and in force.
Material contracts
Key customer, supplier, lease and financing agreements reviewed for change-of-control, exclusivity and termination risk.
Litigation & disputes
Court, arbitration and enforcement history checked for exposure, judgments and contingent liabilities.
Intellectual property
Ownership of trademarks, patents and domains, and the chain of assignment behind each right.
Real estate & land use
Land-use rights certificates, leases and title reviewed for encumbrances, mortgages and validity.
Labour & compliance
Employment terms, social insurance, work-permit standing and regulatory obligations.
Tax & financial obligations
Outstanding liabilities, related-party terms and filing history that could pass to a buyer.
