Frequently Asked Questions
What legal services do foreign companies most often need in China?
The most common needs are company formation and structuring, contract drafting and review, labor and employment compliance, intellectual property protection, regulatory compliance, and dispute resolution through litigation or arbitration. We support the full corporate lifecycle from market entry to exit.
Can a foreign company sign contracts governed by foreign law in China?
In many cross-border contracts, parties may choose a foreign governing law, but contracts performed entirely within China or involving certain Chinese entities may be required to apply PRC law. We advise on enforceability, governing law, and dispute-resolution clauses so your contracts hold up in practice.
How are commercial disputes resolved in China?
Disputes are typically resolved through negotiation, litigation in the People’s Courts, or arbitration before bodies such as CIETAC. Arbitration is often preferred by foreign parties for its confidentiality and cross-border enforceability under the New York Convention. We represent clients in both litigation and arbitration.
Is a contract in English legally valid in China?
An English-language contract can be valid, but Chinese courts and authorities work in Chinese, and a controlling Chinese version is strongly recommended for enforceability. We prepare accurate bilingual contracts and specify which language version prevails to avoid disputes over interpretation.
What are the main labor law risks for foreign employers in China?
Key risks include non-compliant employment contracts, incorrect termination procedures, unpaid social insurance, and mishandled probation or overtime. PRC labor law strongly protects employees, so we help you implement compliant contracts, handbooks, and termination processes to limit exposure.
Do you provide ongoing legal compliance support?
Yes. Beyond one-off matters, we offer ongoing counsel covering regulatory updates, corporate governance, contract management, and risk control, so your China operations stay compliant as laws and policies evolve.
