China Employment Contract Law Forum 2007
Promulgated 12 years ago, the PRC Labor Law remains the fundamental piece of legislation governing employment relationships in China. Soon that will change. The draft PRC Employment Contract Law, expected to be promulgated in mid-2007, will effect wide-ranging changes to the regulatory environment for labor relations nationwide.

We take pleasure in announcing that TransAsia Lawyers will soon be hosting the China Employment Contract Law Forum 2007 with the official endorsement and support of the PRC Ministry of Labor and Social Security (MOLSS). Senior officials from the National People’s Congress, State Council, the MOLSS and the local labor bureaus of major cities will support and speak at the event. The forum will focus on the legal interpretation of the new PRC Employment Contract Law.
The Forum is scheduled for 23 – 24 July 2007 at the China World Hotel in Beijing* and will focus on the significant, wide-reaching legal interpretation of the new employment contract law. Several influential government agencies will be involved in the Forum: senior officials from the National People’s Congress, State Council, MOLSS and All China Federation of Trade Unions will attend and speak. A number of leading multi-nationals will also participate.
Recommended attendance for:
CEOs
HR Directors and Consultants
Lawyers and In-house Counsel
Business Advisors
Academics
The forum will be the first time that senior PRC officials and legislators will appear on the same platform to discuss the new law. It will therefore provide a unique opportunity for attendees to hear authoritative interpretation of the law and to share their own thoughts directly with key individuals involved in the regulation of employment law in China.
