What do you think are the most important attributes for a modern in-house counsel to possess?

Strategic thinking, strong risk management, flexibility and the ability to stay up to date with changes

Based on your experiences in the past year, are there any trends in the legal or business world that you are keeping an eye on that you think other in-house lawyers should be mindful of?

Vietnam’s legal landscape has been undergoing significant changes. A lot of core laws — like those on public procurement, land, housing, and real estate — are being revised. This is creating new challenges and opportunities, so it’s essential to stay on top of the changes. At the same time, there’s a growing push for projects to meet stricter ESG and sustainability standards. To keep up with all these shifts, digital transformation has become a must-have, with more legal teams using technology to manage contracts and data to boost efficiency.
