H & H Lawyers Hosts Vietnam Electricity Delegation to Discuss ESG and Australia’s Net Zero Framework

In December 2025, we had the privilege of hosting a delegation of senior lawyers fromVietnam Electricity (EVN) and its subsidiaries. The visit provided an important opportunity to discuss the changing landscape of inbound investment into Australia, particularly as ESG frameworks increasingly shape global capital decisions.Our James Jung, Dr Paul Govind and Kenneth Hong led focused discussions on the legal and regulatory requirements for international entrants in Australia's "Net Zero" era. While energy remains central to the Australia–Vietnam relationship, our dialogue expanded to the practical realities of operating in a market driven by mandatory climate disclosures and ambitious decarbonisation policy.Key themes included:- ESG as a Gateway: How Australia's emerging ESG and climate-reporting regime is influencing opportunities for international state-owned enterprises.- Japan & Korea Insights: Lessons from the transition of Japanese and Korean investors from traditional gas projects toward green hydrogen and large-scale renewables.- Inbound Pathways: The legal frameworks and governance structures required to navigate Australian infrastructure and energy projects.Australia's role in the regional energy transition continues to mature, and we remain committed to supporting organisations like EVN as they pursue strategic opportunities aligned with Australia's high ESG standards.We thank the EVN delegation for a productive exchange and look forward to continuing these important conversations.

We are pleased to share highlights from our recent participation at the 32nd Annual Conference of the International Association of Korean Lawyers (IAKL), held at Korea University in Seoul last week. Our lawyers - Ken Hong, John Kim, James Jung, Bella Cho, and Laura Oh - attended this global gathering of legal professionals. Two of our colleagues were invited to speak: Ken Hong on “The Braiding of Legal Education and Legal Professions Across Multiple Jurisdictions”. Bella Cho on “How to Deal with ESG Factors Embedded in Business”. We are especially proud to announce that our Managing Partner, Ken Hong received the Moon In Gu Award at the Gala Dinner. The Moon In Gu Award, named after the late Dr. Moon In Koo, founder of IAKL and past President of the Korea and Seoul Bar Associations, is one of the organisation’s highest honours. It is presented to lawyers who have shown exceptional dedication to advancing the Korean legal community globally, protecting the rights of overseas Koreans, and strengthening international legal cooperation. Ken reflected on this recognition: “Receiving the Moon In Gu Award is a humbling honour. Dr. Moon’s vision of connecting legal communities worldwide continues to inspire, and I am grateful to contribute to that legacy.” Ken’s recognition is both a personal achievement and a testament to H&H LAWYERS’s commitment to global legal excellence.

H & H Lawyers' Leadership Recognised at the IPBA Annual Conference in Chicago

A group of delegates from our firm, namely, James Jung, Tin-Lok Shea, John Kim, and MARTIN POLAINE, FCIArb FAIADR, recently attended the Inter-Pacific Bar Association (IPBA) Annual Conference in Chicago. The IPBA community has always been a collegiate and engaged group, and this year was no exception – the conference was a great opportunity to reconnect with familiar faces, exchange ideas, and build new connections across jurisdictions. The energy of the host city was on full display, from incisive keynote speeches and thoughtful panel discussions to a standout welcome reception at Wrigley Field, where the Cubs edged out the Dodgers (much to the disappointment of many Shohei Ohtani fans in attendance). We are proud to share that James Jung was announced as the Vice-President of the IPBA, with the 2027 conference planned to be hosted in Sydney (where he will officially become President). This is an enormous achievement culminating from years of dedication and contribution to the IPBA, and reflects James’ esteemed position within the IPBA community built upon the deep professional ties and friendships he has cultivated with colleagues from across the Asia-Pacific region. Tin-Lok Shea was also appointed as the IPBA Jurisdictional Council Member (JCM) for Australia, a senior leadership position representing the IPBA within the allocated jurisdiction. This is well deserved by Tin-Lok and his nomination was hugely supported by the IPBA Officers at the recent Council Meeting in Chicago. A huge congratulation to both James and Tin-Lok, who are looking forward to contributing to the IPBA’s mission of supporting legal development and collaboration of lawyers across the Asia-Pacific.
