Who we are

IVLF Advisors: strategic advisers, not just legal counsel.

IVLF brings together lawyers and consultants with deep experience in complex M&A transactions, corporate governance, real estate, banking and finance, capital markets and specialised tax advisory. Our professionals trained at leading universities in Vietnam and have practised at top domestic and international advisory firms.

Our strength lies in combining sharp commercial acumen with a rigorous legal foundation. We understand that the ultimate goal of every business is growth — so every solution we deliver is tailor-made to resolve the specific legal obstacles standing between our client and its next opportunity.

What we do

Thirteen practice areas across the full lifecycle of doing business in Vietnam.

Our advice always reflects the law currently in force — including the Law on Investment 2025, the Law on Enterprises as amended in 2025, the Land Law 2024, the new tax legislation effective 2025–2026 and Vietnam’s restructured 34-province administration — so our clients are never caught out by regulatory change.

The story behind IVLF Advisors

IVLF Advisors was founded in February 2022 by lawyers and finance professionals who had spent years executing demanding transactions at leading firms and wanted to build something more integrated: one team where the legal answer, the tax answer and the financial answer are developed together rather than reconciled afterwards. The name reflects the mandate – Investment, Valuation, Law and Finance – and the firm has grown by keeping that promise on every engagement.

Today IVLF Advisors serves foreign investors entering Vietnam, domestic corporate groups, banks and funds, and the founders building the next generation of Vietnamese companies. The firm was recognised at the APAC Insider Business Awards 2025 as Best Investment Banking and Finance Advisory in Vietnam, and its work on first-of-their-kind transactions – from real estate crowdfunding structures to cross-border technology acquisitions – is documented in the case studies on this site. Clients choose IVLF Advisors for the judgment that comes from that record, and stay for the responsiveness of a deliberately compact senior team.
