"Indonesia Business Trends and Investment Case Practice" Theme Sharing
Yang Yang, Senior Partner of Zhiheng Dongguan Equity
Lawyer Yang Yang analyzed Indonesia's business potential and investment challenges, and analyzed Indonesia's advantages in natural resources, demographic dividends, and infrastructure projects. He also mentioned that Indonesia's current policy of opening up to foreign investment has attracted a large number of Chinese companies to invest in infrastructure and minerals, but land ownership restrictions, labor protection, and arbitration mechanisms may also pose certain difficulties for Chinese companies to go overseas. Enterprises should conduct due diligence in advance, avoid legal risks, and pay attention to the tax policy and compliance of investment projects, so as to go overseas smoothly.
"Analysis of Cross-border Employment Patterns and Common Problems of Chinese Enterprises" Theme Sharing
Zhiheng Dongguan partner Chen Liuhua
Starting from the cross-border employment model of Chinese enterprises, lawyer Chen Liuhua analyzed in detail the four cross-border employment models of foreign labor cooperation, international relocation of foreign contracted projects, international relocation of foreign investment and localization of employment, emphasizing the main body selection in the signing of employment contracts, the importance of social insurance and tax arrangements, analyzed common problems, and then shared a number of cross-border employment-related labor dispute cases, and suggested that Chinese-funded enterprises should not only comply with local labor laws when designing employment plans, but also consider the overall risk management strategy of the enterprise.
"Risk and Audit Concerns of General Terms of English Contracts" Theme Sharing
Deng Peiyun, a practicing lawyer in New York, USA
Lawyer Deng Peiyun expounds the common legal risks in English contracts with rich experience in foreign-related practice. Minor differences in Chinese and English legal expressions can lead to major disputes in contract performance, such as the definition of "Law" and "Tax", the implied agreement of breach of contract clauses, and the limitation of liability clauses.
When an enterprise signs an English contract, it must be reviewed by a professional lawyer who is familiar with international law to ensure the legality and operability of the contract. Finally, Lawyer Deng Peiyun listed some common misunderstandings in terms and summarized the methods for avoiding potential future disputes during the contract drafting stage.
"Corporate Legal Risks and the Application of Arbitration Mechanism in Dispute Resolution" Theme Sharing
Zhiheng Dongguan lawyer Deng Nuokun
Lawyer Deng Nuokun summarized his rich experience in foreign-related legal services and summarized the common legal risks of Chinese enterprises doing business in South East Asia, such as insufficient intellectual property protection, conflicts of interest with local partners and latent risks of policy changes. Then, Lawyer Deng Nuokun further introduced the advantages of arbitration mechanism in cross-border commercial dispute resolution, especially in the case of large differences in language, culture and legal system, arbitration provides a relatively fair and flexible solution for both parties.
