Conveniently located within Beijing’s embassy district, Lehman, Lee & Xu, has acquired extensive experience over the years in representing foreign embassies in China. Foreign diplomatic missions face issues that are very different from those facing private commercial parties and individuals. While embassies must deal with local Chinese law on such issues as employment and labor (e.g. local PRC employees), property issues, and contract issues, these issues must also be addressed within the added context of international public law and the recognition of diplomatic immunity.
Our firm, which currently represents the Embassies for the Union of South Africa, Israel and the United States, has associates experienced in handling all litigation, commercial and public law matters, which may face an embassy, diplomatic mission, or consulate, in China.
