KM UNION • CORPORATE & CAPITAL MARKETS ADVISORY
IPO, Listing & Capital Raising Advisory
Prepare your business for capital markets in Vietnam and internationally, including the United States.
How KM UNION supports your business
KM UNION provides legal advisory support for IPO readiness, listing preparation, equity fundraising, M&A, corporate restructuring and cross-border financing. Depending on the transaction, we work with specialist partners, securities firms, auditors, financial advisers and counsel in the relevant jurisdictions.
For international transactions, including access to US capital markets, our role covers Vietnamese legal matters and coordination with appropriately qualified overseas advisers. Each engagement defines the scope, responsibilities and deliverables of the participating professionals.
Our advisory areas
Vietnam IPO and listing preparation
Assess readiness, review corporate records and ownership, identify legal gaps and coordinate preparation for public offerings and exchange admission, including HOSE where appropriate. An IPO, public company registration and exchange listing involve separate requirements.
US and international capital markets
Review ownership, investment structures and funding flows; coordinate transaction assessment, disclosure preparation and ongoing compliance planning with overseas counsel. Market selection depends on business objectives, eligibility and execution costs.
Equity fundraising, M&A and restructuring
Review investment terms, shareholder rights, dilution and governance; support legal due diligence, acquisition documentation and corporate reorganisations ahead of fundraising.
Cross-border financing
Advise on the Vietnamese legal aspects of foreign loans, financing agreements, security arrangements and fund flows. Registration, reporting and foreign exchange requirements must be assessed for each transaction.

- Initial discussion: establish funding needs, target markets and confidentiality arrangements.
- Readiness assessment: review documents and identify issues requiring remediation.
