Hengshi Fan is a Chinese employment and immigration attorney practicing at Yingke Law Firm (Yancheng Office), serving clients in Yangzhou and throughout Jiangsu Province. Mr. Fan specializes in work permit applications, visa compliance, and employment-related legal matters for both foreign nationals and Chinese enterprises. His practice addresses the regulatory challenges that companies face when hiring international talent in China. Mr. Fan has extensive experience guiding foreign companies through the complex work permit and residence permit application process in China. He advises on the classification of work permits (Category A, B, and C), documentation requirements, and compliance with the State Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs regulations. He also handles employment contract review, non-compete agreements, and termination matters for foreign employees. His practice extends to employment dispute resolution, including wrongful termination claims, salary disputes, and social insurance compliance. Mr. Fan represents both employers and employees in labor arbitration proceedings and administrative hearings. He also advises on the legal implications of cross-border employment arrangements and secondment agreements for multinational corporations operating in China.

For overseas clients, Hengshi Fan frames Chinese procedure in practical terms: what documents are needed, which authority decides the issue, how long filings typically take, and where negotiation or formal dispute resolution is more efficient. Advice is oriented to commercial outcomes as well as formal legal rights, so clients can choose between settlement, administrative channels, mediation, arbitration, or litigation with a clear cost and timeline picture.

In Talent and Work Permits work, the practice pattern usually covers intake and conflict checks, fact chronology, evidence preservation, risk mapping under the Civil Code and related special statutes, and drafting or review of bilingual instruments where foreign parties are involved. Where a dispute has already arisen, emphasis is placed on limitation periods, jurisdiction clauses, asset location, and enforceability of any future award or judgment in China.

Foreign companies and expatriates often need a single contact who can coordinate local counsel tasks, explain Chinese regulatory culture, and keep reporting clear in English. Hengshi Fan supports that role through structured case plans, written status updates, and coordination with notaries, translators, appraisers, or investigation service providers when required by the file. Clients remain informed about strategic forks—such as whether to file first, preserve evidence first, or open settlement talks—before costs escalate.

Professional affiliation includes Jiangsu Bar Association. This network supports referral coordination and current practice standards within the local bar community.

The published Chinese lawyer license number on file is 13205200210998721. Clients who require formal engagement letters, power of attorney forms, or court representation can complete onboarding under the firm procedures applicable in yangzhou.

Typical foreign-facing matters in this practice area include cross-border contracts, compliance reviews, employment or family issues connected with life or investment in China, and disputes where evidence, witnesses, or assets sit inside the PRC. The working method is to separate legal theory from executable next steps so non-Chinese clients can act quickly.

Consultation requests can be submitted through the China Law List directory contact workflow. Initial discussions usually cover goals, deadlines, available evidence, and whether the matter is advisory only or already contentious. Hengshi Fan aims for clear scope, transparent fee structure where engagement proceeds, and practical recommendations that fit both Chinese procedure and the client's overseas constraints.

Throughout a matter, Hengshi Fan documents assumptions, outstanding information, and decision points so that foreign headquarters or family members outside China can follow progress without Chinese-language barriers. Where multiple Chinese venues could hear a dispute, venue analysis includes convenience of evidence, local practice tendencies, and enforcement targets. Where settlement is realistic, draft term sheets are used to lock commercial points before formal instruments are finalized.
