Chinese Employment Solicitor London

Chinese-Speaking Employment Solicitors in London

Employment disputes in the UK can be daunting, particularly when navigating an unfamiliar legal system in a second language. Duan & Duan UK LLP is a Chinese law firm in London with employment solicitors who advise in English, Mandarin and Cantonese. We act for both Chinese employees facing workplace issues and Chinese-owned businesses managing their UK workforce.

Advice for Chinese Employees in the UK

Chinese employees working in the UK are protected by the same employment rights as any other worker under English law. However, language barriers and unfamiliarity with the UK employment system can make it difficult to understand your rights and to challenge unfair treatment.

Our solicitors advise Chinese employees on unfair dismissal claims, redundancy rights, discrimination, harassment, whistleblowing, and breach of contract. We explain your legal position clearly in your language and represent you in Employment Tribunal proceedings if necessary.

Unfair Dismissal and Discrimination

If you have been dismissed unfairly or believe you have been discriminated against at work because of your race, nationality, or language, you may have a claim. Strict time limits apply — you generally have three months less one day from the date of dismissal or the discriminatory act to bring a claim. Our solicitors act quickly to protect your position and advise on the strength of your case.

We also advise on constructive dismissal — where your employer's conduct has made your position untenable and you feel forced to resign.

Settlement Agreements

Many employment disputes are resolved through settlement agreements — legally binding documents where you agree to waive your claims in exchange for a financial package. Before signing a settlement agreement, you must receive independent legal advice from a qualified solicitor. Our team reviews settlement agreements for Chinese employees, explains the terms clearly in Mandarin or Cantonese, and negotiates improved terms where appropriate.

Advice for Chinese-Owned Businesses

Chinese companies operating in the UK must comply with English employment law, which differs significantly from Chinese labour law. Our solicitors advise Chinese-owned businesses on employment contracts, workplace policies, hiring and redundancy processes, disciplinary procedures, and Employment Tribunal defence.

We help Chinese employers understand their obligations and avoid costly disputes with UK-based employees.
