Ngu founded Vilasia with a clear vision: to build a firm that is hands-on, commercially sharp, and deeply involved in getting deals done. In its first few years, Vilasia has already advised on significant transactional work for leading consumer, real estate, energy and technology businesses, and has also acted for international law firms on Vietnam-related matters.
Vilasia is a boutique law firm specialising in M&A, startup fundraising, and sophisticated corporate and finance transactions. The firm has grown rapidly in both team size and deal flow, earning a reputation for responsiveness, practicality, and execution-focused advice. By integrating modern technology with practical legal experience, Vilasia assists clients effectively, efficiently, and economically.
Ngu is also among the early Vietnamese legal practitioners with internationally trained expertise in the competition and antitrust aspects of M&A transactions. He pursued PhD (SJD) research at Pennsylvania State University focusing on antitrust and merger control in M&A transactions, before stepping away to focus on his legal practice. This background gives him a structured and advanced approach to competition risk, an area that has become increasingly important under Vietnam’s evolving merger control regime. Vilasia has assisted clients on merger filings across a wide range of sectors.
He is also the author of M&A Essentials: Strategies, Contracts & Disputes (2018), a practical guide widely used by transactional lawyers and investment bankers in Vietnam.
