Frequently asked questions

Can Nguyen Duc Nguyen Vy represent me in a US court?

Yes, in California state proceedings and, with admitted co-counsel where required, in other US jurisdictions. For matters outside California he manages strategy and drafting while coordinating admitted local counsel – one team, one bill, one point of contact in your time zone.

Does he handle arbitration seated outside the US?

Yes. His arbitration practice covers institutional and ad hoc proceedings with international seats, including disputes arising from Vietnam-related contracts. Enforcement strategy in Vietnam is planned with IVLF’s local litigators from day one, so an award is worth more than its paper.

What immigration matters does he take?

Business and investment categories for Vietnamese founders and executives entering the US, family petitions, and status issues that arise mid-assignment. Each case begins with an eligibility review and a written fixed fee.

How quickly can he assess a case?

Send the key documents and a short description; a preliminary assessment – strength, options, cost range – normally follows within three business days, treated as confidential from the first email.

Why clients work with Nguyen Duc Nguyen Vy

Cross-border matters fail in the gap between two legal systems, and Nguyen Duc Nguyen Vy has spent his career standing in that gap. Licensed to practise in California since 2017 and embedded in a Vietnamese advisory firm, he reads a dispute, a contract or an immigration file the way both a US court and a Vietnamese counterparty will read it – and drafts accordingly.

Clients bring Nguyen Duc Nguyen Vy their US-facing problems: contracts with American partners, arbitration with an international seat, civil claims before California courts, and the immigration questions that follow Vietnamese businesses and families into the United States. His record includes prevailing in multiple mass litigation cases in California – experience that shapes how he prepares every matter, on the assumption it may one day need to be proven.

How an engagement with Nguyen Duc Nguyen Vy works

Every matter starts with a candid assessment: the strength of the position, the realistic outcomes, the cost of each path. Litigation and arbitration are expensive instruments, and clients are told plainly when a negotiated resolution serves them better. When proceedings are the right answer, Nguyen Duc Nguyen Vy prepares them with US-standard discovery discipline and coordinates seamlessly with IVLF’s Vietnamese lawyers on evidence, enforcement and parallel exposure at home.

For transactional work – US contracts, distribution arrangements, cross-border investment terms – he drafts in plain English designed to survive both a California courtroom and a Vietnamese boardroom. Immigration engagements follow a fixed-fee, milestone-based structure with the same written scoping that governs all IVLF work.
