Lawyers in Vietnam have to follow the law in order to provide
good legal services to clients.
In Vietnam, the law has
continuously played an important role in the life and contribute to protect and
maintain the stability and development of society. In the trend of integration
of the world economy, the role of the law has once again been confirmed with a
new level in order to contribute to promoting the integration of Vietnam into
world economy and opens a new opportunity for those who are practicing law in
general and lawyers in particular in Vietnam.
In general, lawyer profession in Vietnam has been a noble
profession for the purpose of contributing to the protection of justice, while
contributing to the socio-economic development. In reflection, lawyers
themselves take professionalism as the basic foundation of the profession, and
should always have the responsibility to self-improve skills and widen
knowledge in various areas to meet the growing demands as Vietnam develops i.e. corporate, commercial, investment, construction, labour, dispute resolution, debt recovery…etc.
Sometimes, when providing legal services to clients in handling disputes claim against damages for breach
of contractual obligations, or obtaining licenses in setting up company, work permits, temporary residence cards, the customer has
requested a lawyer to promise and guarantee the results of the works.
The lawyer, whom
represents the client to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the
client, has to follow the law, and the ethics. Responding to the request of the
client to promise and guarantee the result, the lawyer shall refuse because the
outcome of such will depend on the facts and legal grounds of the matters.
The lawyer shall collect
comprehensive information from the client then analyze possibilities of
outcome. Lawyers should not promise the results or the percentage of success
which could potentially lead to the wrong decision made by the client. If the
results are not as customer’s expectation, it will be a great loss to the
prestige, and the image of lawyers. A good lawyer will have the skills to
analyze problems, look at the details, and propose solutions but cannot
guarantee the outcome of a case. Each case is different and there are too many
unknown factors, and the unanswered questions.
In a litigation case,
the lawyers will tell the customers what they are facing, what the lawyers
could do, the best situation and what is worst. Good lawyers will know how to
analyze and clarify the issue. Both the client and the lawyer should have a
positive attitude to solve the problems in regard to the disputing matters.
The only thing ANT
Lawyers could promise in any case is that we will follow the laws of Vietnam.
