OFFICIAL NOTIFICATIONS: THE ART OF PROFESSIONAL AND TRANSPARENT COMMUNICATION

On December 13–14, 2025, the Vietnam Bar Federation will organize the year-end Lawyer Apprenticeship Completion Examination for 2025. This is a crucial milestone, marking the transition from the 'trainee' phase to the official journey of becoming a licensed 'lawyer'. As a fellow lawyer, DLPL would like to share some important reminders. We hope this small contribution will help you feel more confident, avoid regrettable mistakes, and 'smoothly pass' this exam so that you can soon join the ranks of future lawyers.

DL Pinnacle Law (DLPL) is thrilled to announce and send our warmest congratulations to the New Lawyers of the 2nd Intake of 2025 as they officially step into the legal profession. Passing the apprenticeship exam is a huge milestone worth celebrating. But what happens next? What are the next steps, what forms must be filed, who should you contact, and how do you kick-start your practice the right way? Hopefully, this article will bring helpful insights to our newly minted lawyers.

In the journey of legal practice, the Bar Examination is not merely a procedural formality. It serves as the fundamental screening mechanism to ensure that those entering the profession have attained a definitive standard of knowledge, skills, and professional ethics. The core issue does not lie in 'passing or failing,' but rather in whether the candidates have been equipped with the correct methodology. Drawing upon years of litigation practice and internal training, DLPL has observed that the majority of candidates do not lack knowledge. What they lack is the analytical structure and presentation methodology that align with the evaluation logic of the Examination Board. Accordingly, DLPL Academy is launching the Spring 2026 Intensive Exam Preparation Program.
