FAQ

Common questions

Is labor arbitration required before court?
In most employment disputes, yes. Deadlines can be short — act promptly.
Do these lawyers work with foreign clients?
Many listed counsel assist foreign businesses and individuals. Check languages on each profile and request an English consultation when available.
What does a free initial intake cover?
Usually a short case assessment, whether China is the right jurisdiction, and practical next steps. It is not full representation; terms vary by lawyer.
