Deposit paid, production stopped
Preserve payment records, purchase terms, company information and communications. Identify who received the money and what obligation was promised.
MANUFACTURING & SUPPLY-CHAIN DISPUTES
When the factory relationship stops working.
We help foreign companies assess supplier identity, contracts, payments, quality records and recovery options when a China manufacturing matter becomes urgent.
SUPPLIER PROBLEMS ARE EVIDENCE PROBLEMS
Look behind the quotation before choosing the next move.
A late shipment, defective batch or missing deposit can involve multiple entities, informal instructions and incomplete records. A focused legal review helps separate what happened from what can be documented and pursued.
Common situations
Goods are defective or incomplete
Collect specifications, samples, inspection records, photos, notices and shipping documents before the evidence becomes harder to verify.
The supplier changed its story
Compare quotations, pro forma invoices, contracts, messages and conduct. Differences between the commercial contact and contracting entity may matter.
Recovery needs a plan
Consider negotiation leverage, evidence, timing, forum and the commercial value of further action rather than relying on a generic demand.
How we help
- Counterparty and transaction-document review.
- Contract, quality, delivery and payment record assessment.
- Demand and negotiation planning grounded in the evidence.
- Discussion of litigation, arbitration or other appropriate remedies.
- Practical coordination with commercial, logistics and technical teams.
Preserve first. Keep original files, payment proof, inspection data and the full communication history. Do not edit or selectively export the only copy of important evidence.
