International Trade Law | Resolving Cross-Border Commercial Disputes in China

Navigating trade conflicts with Chinese suppliers requires not only legal expertise but also cultural fluency and practical negotiation skills. As your trusted legal advisor in Shanghai, I specialize in resolving international trade disputes efficiently, protecting your business interests under Chinese law while bridging cultural and linguistic gaps.

When payments are made but goods never arrive

  • Immediate legal demands for performance or refunds

  • Investigation of supplier credibility and assets

  • Coordination with Chinese authorities for fraud cases

  • Emergency injunctions to freeze supplier assets

Critical First Step: Preservation of evidence (contracts, payment records, WeChat/email communications) within China's statute of limitations.

2. Contract Disputes With Chinese Suppliers

Enforcing agreements across jurisdictions

  • CISG (UN Convention) and Chinese Contract Law analysis

  • Force majeure and breach of contract claims

  • Bilingual contract review and redrafting services

Key Advantage: 78% of my cases settle during pre-litigation negotiations through culturally-attuned mediation.

  • Independent quality inspections and expert reports

  • Legal claims for compensation/refunds under China's Quality Law

  • Negotiation strategies leveraging Chinese business customs
