Illustrative scenario
The equipment price and delivery schedule are agreed, but an English contract calls for an 80% advance and says only that acceptance must “meet requirements”. The overseas buyer understands the English wording but is unsure whether the contract supports a refund or damages if a dispute arises.
How a China lawyer can assist
Clients can engage us under Chinese law to review the contracting parties and authority, payment and delivery milestones, technical specifications, inspection and acceptance, quality guarantees, liability and termination conditions, and identify gaps in obligations and evidence arrangements.
We can also help revise Chinese and English terms, clarify the relationship between language versions, and assess the validity and practicality of governing-law, litigation or arbitration and dispute-resolution venue provisions. Applicable law and contractual validity depend on the agreement, mandatory rules and the dispute-resolution body. Subject to engagement and authorization, we can assist with negotiations and provide legal opinions.
Before signing an English purchasing contract, you may provide the draft and transaction background for a legal assessment.
