Pro Bono Practices and Opportunities in Vietnam

Published on 15 November 2019 This is an overview of pro bono practices and opportunities in Vietnam, including key practice rules, culture, obstacles to undertaking pro bono and sources of pro bono opportunities.

Over 30 years since the launch of the “Doi Moi” (Open door) policy in 1986, Vietnam has implemented certain economic and political reforms that have helped it in its path towards greater international integration, including advancements in the legal services and pro bono legal services. Important legal developments have taken place which will hopefully pave the way for greater development of the practices of both legal services and pro bono legal services.
