Identity & Authority — The Lens

Inspect the JSON-LD. Is there an Organization or Person schema, and does it carry sameAs links to real external profiles (LinkedIn, socials)? Missing schema or no identity declaration signals an anonymous entity.

Authority is well-established through named partners like Oanh Nguyen and specific regulatory participation (drafting Vietnam’s first IP law). A minor gap exists in the structured data, as the schema_json is restricted to the WebSite type on the homepage and lacks more granular Person or Organization schema with sameAs links to professional directories for all listed experts. Technical credibility is high, with a disciplined heading hierarchy and clear navigation.

The site avoids the typical disconnect by providing recent, dated performance metrics for 2026. Claims of being a leading firm are immediately followed by 106 Tier 1 and Tier 2 practice rankings in The Legal 500 Asia Pacific 2026. The only minor disconnect is the building a law firm for the future claim, which remains largely aspirational compared to the highly concrete transaction data.

Identity & Authority is read from the structured data first: whether the site declares who it is in machine-readable schema, with verifiable identity links. Below is the schema captured per page, then the external proof links that support (or fail to support) that identity.
