Due to the drastic reduction of orders, and serious difficulties in operation and production, a famous construction machinery and equipment manufacturer (a Sino-foreign joint venture) in a city of Fujian Province had to consider a large-scale employee downsizing. After retained by the company, a Dentons team consisted of Zhang Genwang, Li Xu and Ni Xianxia from Shanghai, and Zeng Chunhua, Shen Xue, Li Yanwen, Chen Changle, Lin Shengxian, Lian Kun, Hong Xiaoling and Sun Weizhuo from Xiamen, was quickly established. After carefully investigating and summarizing the company's labor and employment management in the past, the team discussed with the company for many times, and fully considered various possibilities from the perspective of "eliminating conflicts and finishing the program as scheduled", and then designed a detailed plan while striving for the support of the relevant government departments. Finally, through the preliminary scattered negotiation, transfer and centralized negotiation on the scheduled date, the 500 employees were basically adjusted. Only a few employees needed to be followed up due to special circumstances. In particular, on the day of centralized negotiation, 98% of the more than 200 employees (targets for downsizing) signed the contract for downsizing, which represented a positive conclusion to this downsizing legal service matter.

During the process, Dentons Shanghai cooperated with the Xiamen office in an integrated manner, which not only secured the smooth completion of the large-scale employee downsizing work of the client, but also considered the protection of the legitimate rights and interests of employees. The efficient work in this matter has set a successful example for the implementation of relevant projects, and fully demonstrated the professionalism of Dentons' Labor Professional Committee.
