Intellectual Property Vocational Training Course: Because IP law is one of the fastest-growing legal specialities in the world, we created this program to train and develop young IP industry experts in Vietnam. Participants in the program receive free training in our Hanoi office working with our intellectual property lawyers on actual cases.

LGBT issues: We were the first company to participate in the public campaign “Toi Dong Y” and publicly support same-sex marriage in Vietnam. We conduct trainings on LGBT diversity issues in our Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi office and participate in an LGBT Working Group comprised of representatives from Baker & McKenzie's Hong Kong, China and Vietnam offices.
