Kinstellar Southeast Asia injects talent in Vietnam with the appointment of partners Vinh Nhan Phan and Thao Cung in Ho Chi Minh City.
Phan joins from PwC Legal Vietnam, where he served as a partner for just under two years. Before that, he worked at YKVN and Allen & Gledhill’s Vietnam office.
Cung arrives from VinaCapital, one of Vietnam’s largest investment management companies, where he served as general counsel for more than 16 years.
“Bringing Nhan and Thao on board reflects our ambition to grow and strengthen our presence in Vietnam, and reinforces our commitment to building a leading regional platform across Southeast Asia,” Minh Duong, managing partner of Kinstellar Southeast Asia (Vietnam), told Asia Business Law Journal.
“Nhan adds significant depth in M&A, private equity, banking and finance, and capital markets, while Thao brings a rare combination of in-house commercial judgement and private practice experience, gained over nearly two decades as general counsel of VinaCapital. Together, they further strengthen our Vietnam offering, enhancing our capabilities across both transactional and regulatory matters.”
Phan brings nearly 20 years of experience and specialises in M&A, private equity, banking and finance, capital markets and general corporate matters.
Cung focuses on private equity, funds, M&A, banking and finance, corporate governance and general corporate matters. He is also well-versed in handling complex transactions across a broad range of industries.
With the addition of Phan and Cung, Kinstellar Southeast Asia now has five partners at its Vietnam office.
