Chinese Litigation Lawyer for Foreign Companies
I represent foreign companies and individuals in lawsuits against Chinese companies or individuals, with a focus on court proceedings, asset preservation, and judgment enforcement in China.
Request an Initial Case AssessmentWhy Foreign Plaintiffs Often Fail in China Litigation
Foreign plaintiffs do not lose cases in China because they lack legal rights. They lose because of procedural missteps, evidentiary gaps, and poor timing.
Evidence Is Not Properly Prepared
Chinese courts rely heavily on documentary evidence. Foreign plaintiffs often underestimate notarization, legalization, and originality requirements, weakening otherwise valid claims.
Assets Are Not Preserved in Time
Many defendants transfer or hide assets once a dispute escalates. Without timely asset preservation, a favorable judgment may have little practical value.
Litigation Strategy Ignores Enforcement
Winning a case is not the same as recovering money. Without an enforcement-focused strategy, litigation becomes a paper victory.
These risks are not theoretical. They are common, predictable, and avoidable with proper planning.
How I Help Foreign Plaintiffs Litigate in China
Chinese litigation requires more than legal knowledge. It requires procedural precision, strategic timing, and local execution.
Case Feasibility & Risk Assessment
I assess whether your dispute can be effectively litigated in Chinese courts, focusing on jurisdiction, evidence, and recovery prospects. This step helps avoid pursuing cases that are legally possible but commercially impractical.
Evidence & Strategy Planning
I help identify key evidence gaps and procedural requirements early, particularly for documents generated outside China. Proper preparation at this stage often determines the outcome of the case.
Litigation & Asset Control
I handle court proceedings in China and, where appropriate, apply for asset preservation to secure enforcement leverage. Litigation is managed with a clear view toward recovery—not just judgment.
Judgment Enforcement & Recovery
After judgment, I assist with enforcement actions aimed at actual recovery, including asset tracing and court enforcement measures.
Throughout the process, I prioritize clear communication in English, realistic expectations, and practical, results-oriented strategies.
