Illustrative scenario
An overseas equipment company has worked with a China supplier for years. At annual renewal, the supplier increases the advance and removes quality guarantees and remedies. The business team wants to sign, but headquarters worries about insufficient remedies if delivery fails.
How a China lawyer can assist
An overseas business can engage China counsel to review the purchasing contract and revisions, identify risks in payment, delivery, acceptance, guarantees, termination and dispute resolution, suggest amendments, and participate in negotiations when authorized. Counsel can analyze enforceability and practical uncertainties in light of the specific terms and governing law.
As ongoing counsel we can advise on daily issues, draft and review contracts, check counterparty information, advise on receivables management and dispute responses, and separately undertake focused employment, intellectual property or foreign investment compliance reviews.
Depending on transaction frequency and business needs, an overseas business can engage us to assess a specific or ongoing legal service arrangement.
