He also handles employment-related legal matters, advising both employers and employees on labor contract formation, non-compete agreements, and dispute resolution under the PRC Labor Contract Law.

Working Method

Chinese law recognizes a wide scope of contractual freedom, but certain contracts must comply with mandatory legal requirements concerning form, registration, or government approval. I treat bilingual consistency as a risk control: chops, authority documents, and English summaries must tell the same commercial story. I keep those streams visible in status notes so headquarters can decide without re-reading the entire file.
