Contract Review and Risk Assessment
The validity of a contract enforced under Chinese law is determined by the Chinese version of the contract. Sometimes, the terms in the Chinese contract may be subject to multiple interpretations. We can help reviewing supplier agreements to identify potential risks and ensuring the terms are aligned with the client’s interests.
Negotiation and Dispute Resolution
Sometimes, litigation is not the only way to resolve a dispute. Having a Chinese lawyer assist you in negotiating with the other party can increase the pressure on suppliers. It is good way to resolve disputes amicably or through alternative dispute resolution methods, such as mediation or arbitration.
Litigation Support and Enforcement
Representing clients in legal proceedings against suppliers in China, including enforcing judgments or arbitration awards domestically or internationally.
Fraud Investigation and Evidence Collection
If you discover that your counterparty has engaged in business fraud, it may constitute both civil and criminal liability under Chinese law. We can assist clients in conducting thorough investigations to uncover fraudulent activities, gathering evidence to support legal claims, and collaborating with forensic experts when necessary.

Preventive Compliance Strategies
Providing advice on implementing internal controls and compliance systems to minimize the risk of fraud, including drafting fraud prevention policies and conducting employee training sessions.
Application for Asset Preservation
Chinese courts or arbitration institutions may, upon the plaintiff/applicant's request, freeze or preserve the defendant/respondent's assets or evidence if they believe the plaintiff/applicant is likely to win the case. In some cases, this significantly increases the likelihood of the plaintiff/applicant receiving compensation after a favorable judgment. We assist clients in preparing and filing applications for asset preservation with Chinese courts to freeze the assets of potential defaulting parties before or during litigation/arbitration.
Coordination with Authorities
Guiding clients through the legal requirements for asset freezing, including providing necessary guarantees, and coordinating with courts and relevant authorities to ensure timely and effective enforcement.
