Legal services for international trade disputes involving Chinese parties.
From the first demand letter to enforcement of a final award, I act for overseas buyers and suppliers in disputes with Chinese counterparties — and for the Chinese side facing foreign claims.
I work for both sides of a China-linked transaction.
Because I practise Chinese law, I can advise either the foreign party or the Chinese party — depending on the conflict-of-interest rules and the matter at hand.
Your Chinese supplier has not performed.
Whether the goods are late, defective, non-conforming, or simply never shipped, I help you establish your rights, gather the right evidence and pursue the most effective remedy — through negotiation, arbitration or Chinese court litigation.
- Breach of contract and quality/non-conformity claims
- Deposit and advance-payment recovery
- Inspection, acceptance and rejection strategy
- Termination, damages and contractual remedies
A Chinese buyer is not paying you.
I help you recover unpaid invoices and secure your position when a Chinese buyer defaults. I know how Chinese companies actually operate, where the assets are, and how to bring pressure that leads to repayment.
- Unpaid invoice and debt recovery
- Letters of credit and payment disputes
- Goods-in-transit and retained-title issues
- Asset tracing and enforcement in China
Full-cycle dispute services under Chinese law.

Verify a Chinese company's registration, shareholding, litigation and enforcement records before you commit capital or goods.

Risk & compliance advice
Spot the legal and practical risks in a China deal before they become disputes — and build in safeguards.
Transparent, remote-friendly and cost-conscious.
Most engagements begin with a confidential review of your contract and the facts. I give you an honest assessment of the legal position, the realistic options and the likely costs — so you can make an informed decision.
Please have these ready.
- The contract, purchase order or invoice
- Correspondence and notices exchanged
- Payment and shipping evidence
- An outline of your commercial goal
