ALB Fast 30 firm Indochine Counsel has made up its first female partner. Ms Nguyen Thi Hong Anh, who as a senior associate has led the firm's IP & technology practice since its establishment in 2007, becomes the firm's fifth partner overall. The firm's managing partner, Dang The Duc, said Nguyen's elevation is part of the firm's commitment to growing its IP & technology practice.
Meanwhile, the firm has also acted as Vietnam counsel to East Guardian Asset Management Fund (EGAM) on its acquisition of 15% shares in HiPT Group, a public company listed in UPCOM and one of the country's largest private IT companies. Duc, who was the firm's lead partner on the deal, said he expects that such transactions, although rare at the moment, will become more common in the year ahead as the country's IT infrastructure continues to develop.
