China Employment Lawyer for Foreign Companies
For overseas founders, SMEs, in-house legal teams, and foreign companies doing business with or in China.
Foreign companies often treat China hiring as a business arrangement until a termination, social insurance, non-compete, overtime, or labor arbitration issue appears. We help overseas employers structure China employment decisions before they become expensive disputes.
How We Help
- Employment contract and handbook review
- Hiring structure for China employees, contractors, and representatives
- Termination, severance, probation, non-compete, and confidentiality risk
- Labor arbitration strategy and evidence preparation
- Coordination with HR, payroll, and local compliance providers
Working Process
- Send employee documents, offer letters, contract, handbook, salary records, and the dispute timeline.
- We identify mandatory law issues and evidence gaps.
- We prepare negotiation, termination, arbitration, or settlement strategy.
What To Send First
Please send the contract or main documents, counterparty name, amount in dispute, deadline, location, and a short timeline. We will identify the practical next step before suggesting a larger legal route.
Common Questions
Can a foreign company hire someone in China directly?
The legal structure must be reviewed carefully because direct hiring without a China entity may create compliance and dispute risks.
Can we terminate for poor performance?
Possibly, but China termination requires evidence, process, and statutory grounds. Poor documentation creates risk.
