Work highlights
Advised a major international renewables developer on Vietnamese aspects of acquiring majority shares in a Laotian hydropower project company that exports electricity to Vietnam. The mandate involved comprehensive legal analysis of cross-border power trading regulations and infrastructure requirements between Vietnam and Laos. The transaction represents a significant development in regional renewable energy trade, supported by both governments' favourable policies and infrastructure development, with stable revenue streams secured through long-term power purchase agreements.
