Allen & Overy Vietnam offices have new managing partner

Lawyer Tina LeDinh has been appointed by Allen & Overy as managing partner of its Vietnamese offices, succeeding Adam Moncrieff.

LeDinh, who is based in Ho Chi Minh City, joined the international law firm in 2013 and has been a partner since 2019.

She has 15 years of experience, specializing in private and public cross-border merger and acquisition (M&A) transactions and international capital markets, including listings by Vietnamese issuers in the U.S. Her practice spans sectors including consumer and retail, manufacturing, fintech, education, and insurance.

In her new role, LeDinh will focus on strategically growing the Vietnam offices in Hanoi in the north and HCMC, Vietnam’s southern economic hub.

Moncrieff, who has been at the Allen & Overy helm in Vietnam since 2012 as part of the firm’s periodic leadership rotation, will continue to focus on his practice in banking, project and structured finance, and restructurings, the firm said in a release.

Another Allen & Overy senior appointment for Vietnam is Duc Tran as senior partner. Both appointments were effective on December 1.

Duc, who joined the firm in 2013, has more than 25 years of experience in corporate and banking work, with a focus on large-scale power projects and debt and equity capital market issuances.

In his new role, Duc will work with partners to identify the firm’s growth strategy in ASEAN, Allen & Overy said.

“Our offices in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City have become a valuable part of our broader offering - we are one of the few renowned international law firms in Vietnam with multidisciplinary industry experience,” said Moncrieff.

“I am honored to be part of this journey and look forward to continuing to work with Tina and Duc to drive the success of the office,” he said.
