RHTLaw Taylor Wessing's Managing Partner, Tan Chong Huat noted, "The merger signals our commitment to intensify our ASEAN growth strategy via our "ASEAN+" network. Viet Nam is one of the fastest-growing emerging markets in the world and is poised to play an important role in the ASEAN economy. — VNS
