  • ‘I believe that ATS law firm is one of the best labour & employment law firms in Vietnam for the following reasons: they have an in-depth understanding of current labor laws and judicial practices, do research for the case carefully and point out the key points to protect the client's legitimate rights and interests, and provide a quick response and always follow the case closely to update the latest information to customers.’

  • ‘What impresses me most about Vu Thi Thu Ha is her writing skills to present a sharp argument and litigation capacity at the court. Furthermore, she can exploit the small details of the case, often overlooked but important, which can sway the judges’ decision.’
