01 ABOUT | About us

Understanding China’s rules and international clients’ expectations

Homepage heading: Distance should not obstruct business judgment; language and institutional differences should not prevent you from entering the China market or handling matters there.

Introduction: We are a foreign-related legal team backed by a major China-based full-service law firm. We serve international clients including foreign companies and individuals trading with Chinese businesses, investors in China, cross-border entrepreneurs, and overseas Chinese and foreign nationals of Chinese origin who need to handle matters in China.

Our team combines advanced Chinese legal education, overseas study and cross-border experience. We explain Chinese law in languages familiar to clients and combine legal analysis, commercial judgment and practical steps, from pre-negotiation due diligence through contract performance and dispute resolution.

We believe effective cross-border advice explains not only the law but also what to do next, who will do it and where the risks lie.

02 PRACTICE | Core practice

Three service areas address key needs from China business cooperation to personal matters in China.

A. Cross-border business and trade | From the first contract to the safe delivery of each transaction

When purchasing in China, selling to China, finding suppliers, expanding channels or investing, the challenges extend beyond signing: understanding investment restrictions, identifying counterparties, structuring workable transactions, managing delivery and payment risks and protecting rights when problems arise.

Counterparty credit investigations, company registration and litigation checks, and commercial due diligence;

Drafting, reviewing and negotiating international sale, procurement, supply, agency, distribution, OEM/ODM and technology licence contracts;

Designing payment, delivery, acceptance, quality, remedies, governing law and dispute-resolution provisions;

Foreign investment, company formation, joint operations, equity acquisitions, governance and ongoing compliance;

Cross-border receivables collection, contract disputes, arbitration, litigation, and coordination on asset information and enforcement in China.

Service statement | We focus on whether your important commercial interests have effective legal protection.

B. Counsel for businesses and entrepreneurs | Long-term legal certainty for businesses and entrepreneurs

For entrepreneurs overseas with close trade links to China, business operations, shareholder rights, personal assets and family affairs may overlap. Alongside overseas advisers, a China legal team can assist in managing risks in China. We provide local counsel to businesses and entrepreneurs on cross-border commercial activities.

Ongoing counsel for private businesses, contracts and compliance, shareholder agreements, control and governance;

Personal legal counsel for entrepreneurs, investment interests, equity holdings and asset protection in China;

C. Representation in China | Moving matters forward while you are overseas

For people living overseas, busy or unable to return to China, contract signing, company matters, documents, disputes, property and frozen or dormant bank-card matters may require continued attention from a trusted local team.

Identify authorization, identity verification, notarization, authentication or apostille requirements;

Within legal and authorized limits, represent or assist with company, contract, litigation, arbitration and property matters;

Coordinate procedures with courts, arbitration institutions, authorities, counterparties and other professional service providers in China;

Draft documents, arrange service, organize evidence, negotiate and report progress;

06 FAQ | Frequently asked questions

Q1 | Can I engage you from overseas if I do not speak Chinese?

You may first contact us by email or online meeting. We will arrange available language support and clarify facts, scope, fees and authorization documents. Formal representation proceeds after necessary identity and authorization steps.

Q2 | Can a foreign business without a China company ask you to review a supplier and contract?

Yes. Within the engagement scope, we can review public and lawfully available information and payment, quality, delivery, liability and dispute-resolution terms, and provide a risk list and suggested changes. Due diligence cannot guarantee future performance.

Q3 | If I cannot return to China, can every step be handled remotely?

Not every matter can be completed remotely. Attendance depends on the matter, receiving authority, identity verification and authorization documents. We assess the process and explain what can be delegated, what requires personal action and what documents are needed.

Q4 | Can you help overseas Chinese with China property, equity, inheritance, debts or private compliance?

We can advise on Chinese law, prepare documents, assist under authorization and support dispute resolution. With client consent, we can coordinate with specialists on foreign law, cross-border tax or other professional matters.

Q5 | How are fees and privacy handled?

Once we understand your needs, we explain scope, deliverables, fees and possible third-party costs. We protect client information in accordance with applicable law and professional duties before and after engagement.

Q6 | How should I start the first conversation?

Briefly describe your location, the Chinese city involved, the type of matter, your objective and any urgent deadline. Do not send passport numbers, complete contracts or similarly sensitive material in your first message; necessary documents can be provided through an appropriate secure channel.
