Who this is for

Overseas businesses negotiating a supply, purchase or other commercial agreement with a Chinese company. This service is most useful while the terms can still be changed.

What the review covers

Within the agreed PRC-law scope, the review examines the identified parties, goods or services, specifications, acceptance arrangements, payment triggers, delivery obligations and responses to non-performance. Dispute-resolution terms, governing law and differences between language versions can also be considered within that scope.

The review connects the drafting to your practical priorities: what you need delivered, how you will check it and when money will change hands.

What you receive

A commented contract, an English summary of the main concerns and suggested amendments in the agreed format. The report distinguishes priority issues from commercial choices, and flags questions that depend on facts or specialist input.

What to prepare

In your first email, describe the transaction, the counterparty, the contract language, the intended signing date and the points that matter most to you. The draft, schedules, specifications and relevant negotiation history can be shared through an agreed channel after the initial checks.

What is not included

Full contract drafting, certified translation, supplier verification, direct negotiation and advice on foreign law, tax, customs or technical standards are separate unless expressly agreed. A review cannot confirm the accuracy of information supplied by the counterparty or guarantee that terms will be accepted or performed.

How to start

The documents, languages, review rounds, deliverables, exclusions, fee and timing are agreed before work begins. If the contract has already been signed and a dispute has arisen, a supplier dispute assessment may be a better starting point.
