Professor Xuan-Thao Nguyen provided comments during a public hearing on proposed revisions to Vietnam’s Secured Transactions Law held by the Legal Committee of the Vietnam National Assembly in Ho Chi Minh City on July 27. This is the part of the final stretch of what has been a three-year process, working with the Ministry of Justice Legal Team on revisions of the law.

“I was the only foreign expert invited to speak to the committee,” Professor Nguyen said. “My work in the last three years on the drafting of Secured Transactions Law with the Ministry of Justice and the World Bank/IFC is heading to the final stage. Our work is now in the hand of the National Assembly for a decision whether to adopt the proposed law.” She is shown here speaking to the National Assembly.

Professor Nguyen, who holds the Gerald L. Bepko Chair in Law, is the director of the IU McKinney Center for Intellectual Property Law and Innovation. She is an internationally recognized legal scholar, known for her expertise in the intersections of intellectual property, secured transactions, bankruptcy, licensing, and taxation.
