Chinese language versions of core standard documents and clauses
China-related transactions between Chinese and foreign parties usually involve simultaneous work on English and Chinese-language drafts. To assist practitioners in handling these transactions, we continue to publish Chinese language versions of core standard documents for inbound M&A, foreign direct investment and employment, and of boilerplate clauses frequently used in commercial contracts.
Boilerplate
For a full list of bilingual boilerplate clauses, see Practical Law China bilingual content: Boilerplate.

This month, we have published the following standard clauses for inclusion in an employee handbook:
- Marriage leave and compassionate leave policy. This sets out the marriage leave and compassionate leave entitlements that employees have under Chinese employment law (see Standard clause, Employee handbook: marriage leave and compassionate leave policy).
- Disciplinary rules and procedures. This sets out the rules and procedure employers and employees must follow in cases of any employee misconduct and subsequent disciplinary action (see Standard clause, Employee handbook: disciplinary rules and procedures).
