BEIJING, June 17 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Lehman, Lee & Xu's associates Lily Han and Aldo Settimio Boni de Nobili, and summer associate Eric Langland, were invited by the Embassy of the Philippines in Beijing to hold a presentation session on labour and employment, family and criminal law at the Embassy on June 7, 2009. On the occasion of the pleasant lunch shared with Lehman, Lee & Xu's associates, Embassador Ms. Soia Bradi has pointed out the importance of promoting awareness of duties and rights under Chinese law for foreigners living in China.
The presentation aimed to provide China-based Philippines citizens with a practical understanding of their rights and duties as employers and employees of foreign and domestic companies in Beijing, and with an overview of relevant provisions of the Chinese family law and criminal law systems. More than one hundred people attended the event.
In particular, the labour and employment field in China is becoming more and more sophisticated due to recent legislative reforms which have included, amongst others developments, the promulgation of the new Employment Contract Law in 2008 and subsequent implementing regulations. However, the system maintains several uncertainties and it is extremely important to know how to navigate the ambiguous provisions of the law.
