About Fang Liu

Fang Liu is a senior employment counsel at King & Wood Mallesons, based in the firm’s Beijing office. With over 12 years of experience advising multinational employers operating in China, Fang has developed deep expertise in PRC labor law compliance, workforce restructuring, executive terminations, and cross-border employment arrangements. A member of the Beijing Bar Association, she represents clients across the technology, financial services, manufacturing, and professional services sectors.

Fang’s practice focuses on helping foreign-invested enterprises navigate China’s increasingly complex employment regulatory environment. She advises on all aspects of the employment relationship — from hiring and contract structuring through terminations, mass layoffs, and post-employment restrictive covenants. Her work on mass redundancy procedures has been particularly valued by multinational clients undertaking China workforce reorganizations, where she provides end-to-end guidance on statutory procedures, severance calculations, union consultation requirements, and regulatory filings.

Fang also has substantial experience with employment-related dispute resolution, having represented employers in hundreds of labor arbitration proceedings before Beijing and national-level labor tribunals. She is known for achieving favorable settlements through early-stage negotiation, reducing litigation exposure for her clients. She holds a Master of Laws from Peking University and is a frequent speaker at HR compliance conferences in Beijing.
