LEHMAN, LEE & XU China Lawyers Mobility and Visa Practice Group and Edward Lehman  have been selected by their peers at the bar, many of the world's leading multinational mobility tams, and the media at the leading China Law Firm dealing with China Visa and mobility practices for the past 20 years in mainland China. Most law firms in China did not even have such a practice group, now many do, but LEHMAN, LEE & XU China Lawyers Mobility and Visa Practice Group and Edward Lehman have due to their dedication to this practice area for two decades. Edward Lehman has discussed this issue on China Central Television where he is the legal commentator. Edward Lehman is the co-founder of LehmanBrown International Accountants as well and set up the mobility practices there too. As companies and individuals become increasingly 

mobile in their conduct of business across borders, the practical

imperative of  being able to deploy “people” to different markets –

whether on a short- or  long-term basis – becomes more urgent. This

LEHMAN, LEE & XU China Lawyers Mobility and Visa Practice Group and Edward Lehman Migration and People Movement Master Class contributing 25 years Insights on "Best Mobility China Business Practices" will examine and  compare the experiences of moving

“people” between other countries and China, through the insights of Edward Lehman and Rachel Lin whose LEHMAN, LEE & XU China Lawyers Mobility and Visa Practice Group is devoted to these matters.

Issues to be discussed by LEHMAN, LEE & XU China Lawyers Mobility and Visa Practice Group and Edward Lehman include:
