About Lan Wu

Lan Wu is an employment counsel at King & Wood Mallesons, based in Chengdu. She advises multinational employers on PRC labor law in western China, with particular expertise in plant relocations, expatriate employment structuring, and workplace compliance in the manufacturing sector. A member of the Sichuan Bar Association, Lan provides on-the-ground employment advisory to foreign-invested manufacturers in Sichuan and Chongqing.

Lan has guided numerous multinational manufacturers through the employment aspects of establishing and operating facilities in western China, where labor regulations, enforcement practices, and workforce dynamics differ materially from coastal provinces. Her advice spans recruitment and employment contract structuring, workplace safety compliance, social insurance administration, and termination procedures under local regulatory conditions.

Her practice also includes significant work on expatriate employment — advising foreign companies on the legal framework for posting foreign nationals to PRC operations, including work permit requirements, tax equalization arrangements, and employment contract structures that comply with both PRC law and home-country expectations. She holds a law degree from Sichuan University.

Practice Areas

• Manufacturing Employment — Factory workforce management, shift scheduling compliance, overtime regulations, and workplace safety standards for manufacturing facilities in western China.
• Expatriate Employment — Foreign national work permit and residence permit procedures, expatriate employment contract structuring, tax equalization coordination, and social insurance treaty analysis.
