When a China dispute needs a legal pathway.

We help foreign companies organise the facts, documents and commercial objective behind a dispute involving a Chinese company, supplier, customer, partner or service provider.

LITIGATION STARTS BEFORE FILING

A strong case is built from a clear record.

Commercial litigation is not only about stating that a contract was breached. It involves identifying the right party, preserving admissible evidence, choosing a workable forum and understanding what remedy can be pursued if the claim succeeds.

Issues we help clients assess

Parties and authority

Confirm which Chinese entity signed, received payment, issued invoices or controlled performance, and whether the available documents connect it to the obligation.

Evidence and chronology

Build a dated record from contracts, messages, invoices, bank records, delivery documents, inspection reports and other business materials.

Forum and procedure

Review the dispute clause and the practical requirements for negotiation, arbitration or court proceedings based on the matter.

Remedy and enforcement

Keep the commercial outcome in view: payment, delivery, termination, damages, preservation or another remedy that can be documented and pursued.

A practical sequence

1. Fact and document intake

We begin with the business story, the parties, key documents and the decision deadline. Gaps are identified early.

2. Options memo or focused advice

The scope may be a document review, negotiation strategy, evidence plan or a broader assessment of formal proceedings.

3. Action and communication

If instructed, the work may include correspondence, negotiation, filing preparation, hearings or coordination with other advisers as appropriate.

Important: No firm can promise a result from a webpage. The strength and cost of a claim depend on its facts, evidence, parties, forum and timing.
