The ELA Presents

Lay-offs in China and Employment Contract Termination in Europe

In this program, we will explore the complex landscape of workforce reductions across jurisdictions in China and Europe, with a focus on legal frameworks, practical challenges, and strategic considerations for employers.


We will begin by outlining the legal basis and key stages of mass layoffs in China, offering a clear overview of required procedures and compliance considerations. From there, we turn to Europe, where local experts break down employment contract termination rules in France, Germany, Hungary & Italy.


Listeners will gain insight into:

  • Common labor and employment questions Chinese enterprises face when operating internationally
  • Practical guidance and top advice for companies entering new European markets
  • Country-specific approaches to termination, including timelines, costs, and regulatory requirements

Whether you're managing cross-border operations or advising on international employment strategies, this program offers practical, jurisdiction-specific insights to help navigate layoffs and terminations with confidence.
