During the three-day course starting on November 9, the participants will discuss a wide range of issues, such as laws on the protection of personal information, family law, immigration law and judicial procedures.

They will also touch upon laws governing the environment, labour, insurance, and energy as well as franchising, corporate crime, trade disputes, intellectual property, and the role of lawyers’ associations.

Hosted by the HCM City Bar Association, the conference is the largest ever of its kind held in Vietnam. It serves as a chance for lawyers to share professional experience and boost cooperation among regional countries and territories.

Established in 1966, LAWASIA brings together under one roof lawyers, jurists, lawyers’ associations and related organisations. It currently has more than 1,500 members from 50 Asian and Asia-Pacific countries and territories.
