Dzungsrt & Associates offers well-rounded dispute resolution services, with extensive and deep expertise in arbitration and other forms of alternate dispute resolution. The firm relishes in its boutique and independent status, largely free of engagement conflicts that full-service firms are saddled by. The market acknowledges the firm’s prominence in domestic and international arbitration matters. For example, Dzungsrt lawyers were directly involved in drafting the current law on commercial arbitration and contributed significantly to the 2017 Rules of Arbitration of the Vietnam International Arbitration Center. They also assisted in the drafting of the 2010 Law on Commercial Arbitration and sections of the 2015 Civil Procedure Code and by-laws guiding these statutes. Senior partner Manh Dzung Nguyen is the only Vietnamese member at the ICC International Court of Arbitration and a highly respected figure on the local arbitration scene. The firm has cooperated with international organisations, such as the International Finance Corporation, to educate local judges and work on the development of the local justice system. The firm’s dispute resolution practitioners have international study and practice experience, ensuring a more cosmopolitan and nuanced approach to its representation. Firm founder Dzung Nguyen is currently serving his third term as the only Vietnamese ICC court member to date.
Four senior lawyers guide the firm’s disputes and arbitration practice. They include senior partner Dzung Nguyen, along with partners Ngoc Minh Nguyen, Thi Thu Trang Nguyen and Vu Minh Ha Dang.
In a recent highlight, the firm acted for a Vietnamese construction company with a Korean investment in a local law dispute arising from a construction agreement against a Korean construction company.
