On the advisory side, the team covers domestic labour law issues, along with Chinese businesses’ outbound labour law issues and the employment of foreign employees in China. In Beijing, longstanding employment, social security and trade union law expert Haiyan Duan covers both advisory work and labour disputes. Over in Shanghai, Carol Zhu's track record includes working as human resources and legal head for several international companies; April Yan's experience includes mass lay-offs and compliance investigations; and Anderson Zhang assists with terminating senior executives’ employment relationships.
