Legal consultation is a rapidly growing service in Vietnam’s current social context and is widely utilized by the public. Legal consultation is often understood as the act of explaining and guiding legal matters, and it is assumed that anyone with legal knowledge and experience can provide legal advice. However, this understanding has led to limitations in the provision of legal consulting services. Legal consultants tend to focus solely on providing legal information without possessing the necessary skills to support clients psychologically.
For legal consultation to be truly effective and become a professional service, the consultant must have profound legal knowledge as well as appropriate consulting skills. In this article, NP Law will provide information about our legal consultation services so that readers may better understand the nature of legal advisory work.
1. Understanding about Legal Consultation
Consulting activities are guided by Clause 1, Article 5 of Decree No. 87/2002/ND-CP on the provision and use of consultancy services, which states:
- Consulting activities include the collection and processing of information, application of specialized knowledge, identification of issues, proposal of solutions and plans, project development, and supervision and evaluation, implemented independently and objectively by Vietnamese organizations and individuals at the request of the client.
Thus, legal consultation is considered a professional activity aimed at explaining and guiding individuals and organizations to act in accordance with the law, helping them protect their legitimate rights and interests. This perspective is recognized and widely accepted by researchers and legal practitioners in Vietnam. In legal handbooks, legal consultation is defined as: providing legal answers, guiding lawful conduct, and offering legal services.
