Amid Da Nang’s dynamic economic growth, with a surge of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), startups, and large-scale investment projects, the relationships among internal investors have become a decisive factor in a business’s survival. Legal advisory practice shows that quite a few promising brands in Da Nang have stopped operating not because of the market, but because of shareholder disputes and internal conflicts that could not be reconciled.
Accordingly, engaging shareholder and company member governance advisory services in Da Nang is a fundamental solution for standardizing the legal foundation, protecting the lawful rights and interests of all parties, and ensuring that the enterprise operates sustainably.
1. Common Risks of Internal Governance Lacking Legal Precision
Internal corporate governance is not simply a matter of holding meetings or voting on decisions. Under the Law on Enterprises 2020 (Law No. 59/2020/QH14) and its implementing documents, if the internal legal framework is not rigorous, an enterprise faces a number of serious consequences:
1.1. Decision Deadlock Caused by Evenly Split Ownership
Many two-member limited liability companies or joint stock companies in Da Nang are founded on friendships or family ties, with capital contribution ratios of 50/50 or 51/49. When disagreements arise, the absence of a deadlock resolution mechanism in the company charter makes it impossible to adopt important business decisions, leaving the company in a state of “paralysis.”
1.2. Infringement of Minority Shareholders’ Rights
Shareholders or members holding a small proportion of capital often face the risk of being sidelined by a controlling group, excluded from management, or denied dividends even when the company is profitable. A lack of understanding of the rights prescribed in Articles 115 and 114 of the Law on Enterprises 2020 leaves vulnerable shareholders at a considerable disadvantage.
1.3. Errors in Procedures for Transferring Shares or Contributed Capital
When there is a change in the persons contributing capital, a transfer of contributed capital (for limited liability companies) or a transfer of shares (for joint stock companies) that fails to follow the proper procedure, including the pre-emptive offer, personal income tax declaration, and registration of changes with the Da Nang Department of Finance (under Decree No. 168/2025/NĐ-CP), may render the transfer contract invalid.
2. Scope of Shareholder and Company Member Governance Advisory Services in Da Nang
Our team of experienced lawyers and legal experts will work alongside the enterprise to resolve problems thoroughly through the following specialized services:
2.1. Advising on and Developing the Charter and Internal Governance Regulations
The charter is often described as the “constitution” of an enterprise. We provide services to review, draft, and standardize the company charter in Da Nang, together with the system of internal governance regulations (the operating regulations of the Board of Directors and the Supervisory Board, financial regulations, and so on). This legal framework is designed specifically for each industry, balances the interests of different shareholder groups, and anticipates scenarios for handling conflicts.
2.2. Advising Members of Limited Liability Companies and Shareholders of Joint Stock Companies
Each type of enterprise has a distinct governance mechanism. Our advisory services for members of limited liability companies in Da Nang focus on the decision-making mechanism of the Members’ Council, the conditions for transferring capital to outsiders, and the procedures for handling members who fail to contribute the full capital. For joint stock companies, we support the organization of annual and extraordinary General Meetings of Shareholders (GMS) in accordance with the lawful procedure.
2.3. Advising on Protection of Minority Shareholders’ Rights
The Law on Enterprises 2020 lowered the ownership threshold for exercising certain oversight rights to 5% (Article 115). Our shareholder advisory services in Da Nang help small shareholders understand and exercise their rights to inspect accounting books, request the convening of a General Meeting of Shareholders, or bring a civil action on behalf of the company against managers whose violations cause damage.
2.4. Turnkey Support for Procedures on Changes and Capital Transfers
We represent the enterprise in carrying out all legal procedures relating to:
- Drafting contracts, handover records, and dossiers for the transfer of contributed capital in Da Nang or of shares;
- Carrying out the procedure for changing enterprise registration particulars at the Business Registration Office, Da Nang Department of Finance;
- Declaring personal income tax and other financial obligations arising, in accordance with regulations.
2.5. Shareholder Dispute Resolution and Regular Legal Compliance Advisory
When disagreements erupt, our shareholder governance lawyers in Da Nang act as intermediaries in negotiation and internal mediation, with the aim of preserving as much of the enterprise’s value as possible. Where negotiation fails, we will represent clients in litigation before the People’s Courts or in commercial arbitration to protect their lawful rights and interests. In addition, our outsourced legal department model in Da Nang helps enterprises maintain ongoing legal safety at an optimized cost.
