Legal services in China

Hello, Priscilla!

I guess it's important to get assistance in the following spheres: tax regulations, rules of renting an apartment, visa regulations, labour legislation.


Kind regards,
Olesya

I suggest you follow the excellent advice of Abby above.

The kinds of legal hassles you would expect are quite low compared to the West. So you need not get too hung up on them.

The best advice that I can give is to get your visa in order, and then when you arrive, obey the law.

You will need legal services if you want to get married, get a divorce, set up a business, or want to sue someone. Other than that, you need not worry about it.

yes, there are  many kinds of legal services,including criminal law, civil law, security,commercial businiss and so on. u have many ways to contract ur lawyer, for example, by the web, ur friends introduction, and  so on.most of time u may need a private lawyer.of course ,u should pay to them .different lawyers has different values.in the end, don't forget that I am a lawyer .
best wishes.

One thing to mention, if you rent an apartment(not hotel) in Chengdu, it  is important to register at local police station within 24 hours after you moved in. Also you need to renew the registration every time you travel back Chengdu from other countries with 24 hours.
