The Faculty of Law was founded according to the Decision No. 95/ QĐ-ĐHKTL on 02 July, 2010 by the Rector of the University of Economics and Law on the basis of inheriting and developing the functions and responsibilities of the former Department of Law and meeting the objective demands for the process of economic transfer-renovation and of gradual regional and international integration. This process requires the contributions of a large number of policy planners and managers, and businesspeople who equip themselves not only with sound knowledge about finance-economics but also law, and who know how to flexibly apply laws into practical and specific situations with the purpose of winning cases in the their home country. Besides, a panel of lawyers and judges need to get more official and professional training and education in order to deal with arising conflicts regarding trade and commercial transactions that are getting tougher and more complicated among Vietnamese businesses and among Vietnamese and foreign ones. 

    The special feature of the Faculty’s training activities is connecting laws with economics. The training programs are flexibly and properly designed to equip students with profound knowledge about laws, solid hands-on skills and proper working manners. Furthermore, students are alsoprovided with supplementary knowledge about economics, finance, banking, securities and international trade, etc to meet a variety of requirements of today’s society.

    The Faculty has a group of lecturers with high degrees, many of whom obtain higher education in advanced foreign countries. They are prestigious and experienced experts on law and economics science, finance, trade, etc. who have been making valuable contributions to forming the Faculty’s original characteristics. Presently, the Faculty has the following departments: Business Law, International Business Law, Civil Law and Finance-Banking- Securities Laws
