PW & Partners’ labour law team in Guangzhou predominantly acts for clients from the manufacturing, fast-moving consumer goods, and internet platform sectors. The practice has significant experience in economic layoffs, employee placements, and labour relations compliance; while it is increasingly mandated to advise on competition restrictions and trade secret protection. James Peng and Sam Chen both routinely acts in high-stakes employment disputes; and Ozzie Ou's workload covers employment conditions and management issues, along with terminating foreign employees’ labour contracts. Huiqin Lv, Ann Xie, Vivi Chen and Celia Zhu are other names to note.
