of banks and more importantly, suit the real business in Vietnam. The sustainable target of DIMAC does not only assist banks in solving current legal matters, but becomes a reliable and strategic legal partner to go together with banks in all their business operations in Vietnam.

Legal issues in the credit and banking field contain lots of features and complexities, requiring lawyers to have intensive knowledge, seasoned experience and expertise to enable provision of excellent legal services to banks. In addition, types of contracts and transaction documents with their recognized traits really are tough matters to the lawyers who are not the experts in this field.

Negotiation

Negotiation is the best solution that the disputing parties can use to deal with commercial deals and solve disputes by an amicable agreement, helping Clients preserve relationships and save costs. However, although the Clients can easily assign someone to involve in the negotiations but finding an expert, the one to efficiently negotiate and assist Clients to gain huge advantage in legal matters is not a easy task.

22

DIMAC can assist the Clients with the followings : 1. Negotiating, entering into, amending and liquidating contracts

DIMAC, after having agreed on principles, will on behalf of Clients negotiate the contractual terms and the specific issues to bring unexpected benefits for Clients.

2. Merger and Acquisition (M&A)

Merger and Acquisition comprises of very complicated legal matters. Therefore, apart from experts in other fields going together, participation of negotiation experts in the important matters thereof is indispensable.

3. Negotiation for dispute resolution

When disputes arise, the possibility for the parties to reach a creative and reasonable solution is extremely hard. To do this, Clients should have negotiation experts in their sides. This will certainly help Clients resolve disputes faster and more effectively, rather than pursue the dispute at Courts with time-consuming and costly procedures.
