• ‘Baker FenXun's expertise, advice and solutions in labour law, personal income tax and foreign immigration employment are up-to-date and thoughtful. In the process of working with them, we entrusted other suppliers with foreign employment solutions that could not be properly solved. Baker can provide more in-depth analysis and proposals. At the same time, in individual labour dispute cases, Baker can always assess the situation and explore deeper reasons from different angles to provide our company with legal and appropriate solutions.’
• ‘Jonathan Isaacs – our HR team has worked with Jonathan’s team for many years, especially in the field of labour law consulting in China. Jonathan is very experienced. Although he is a foreigner, his familiarity with the laws and regulations of China’s labour law, his proficient Chinese expression skills, his thorough case analysis, and his rich practical experience enable him to provide us with diversified, compliant solutions that can be combined with the internal culture of the company. With his consulting services, we can always get timely feedback, be reminded in time, and resolve labour disputes and controversies smoothly and efficiently. At the same time, our overseas headquarters can also gain a clear understanding of China’s labour law from the English written expressions given by Jonathan’s team, which can help overseas management make decisions faster and more accurately. This is why we have been working with Baker and Jonathan’s team around the world for many years.'
