Market Expansion Session 1

As Chinese companies continue to expand internationally, understanding local employment laws and labor market dynamics is essential for a successful market entry strategy. In this on-demand webinar, the Employment Law Alliance (ELA), in partnership with LANBAI Law Firm, continues its Chinese Companies Going Global series with a practical examination of key employment considerations across Indonesia, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam.

Designed specifically for founders, business leaders, HR professionals, and legal teams at growing companies, this session explores the legal and operational realities that organizations commonly face when entering new jurisdictions. Local employment law practitioners from each featured country provide insights into the regulatory environment governing foreign workers, labor market conditions, and the practical challenges of building a compliant workforce.

Key topics include:

• The public policy approach toward foreign labor in each jurisdiction, including whether the regulatory framework is generally protective, open, or moderate.
• Current labor market conditions for both skilled and non-skilled workers.
• The level of competition employers face when recruiting and retaining talent.
• The general process for hiring and importing foreign labor, including key requirements and procedural considerations.
• Common pitfalls and compliance risks associated with obtaining work permits and employment visas for foreign employees.
• Practical workforce planning considerations for companies entering new markets.



Whether your organization is evaluating expansion opportunities or actively establishing operations in Southeast Asia, this webinar provides valuable jurisdiction-specific guidance to help you navigate employment-related challenges, avoid common compliance mistakes, and make informed business decisions in Indonesia, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam.
