Who this is for

Overseas businesses seeking a formal response on an overdue refund, unpaid business debt, missed delivery or another documented commercial dispute with a Chinese counterparty.

What the service covers

The proposed recipient, supporting materials and requested outcome are reviewed before deciding whether a lawyer’s letter is appropriate. The letter sets out the position supported by the agreed material and the response sought. Its language, recipient, dispatch method and any response deadline are agreed for the matter.

What you receive

A letter prepared by the identified legal service provider, dispatch through the agreed channel, and available dispatch records. An English explanation of the letter and review of any response received during the agreed period are included to the extent set out in the engagement.

What to prepare

Start with the company names, the issue, amount involved and the outcome you seek. Following initial checks, relevant materials may include the contract, invoice, payment records, delivery history, earlier demands and the counterparty’s contact details. Claims and amounts must be supported by the material reviewed.

What is not included

A letter is not a court order and does not guarantee payment or a response. Ongoing negotiation, repeat letters, court service, proceedings and asset investigation are not included unless expressly agreed. Available dispatch records should not be treated as proof of every fact or of formal legal service.

How to start

Email a short summary. The responsible lawyer and firm, scope, language, dispatch arrangements, response-review period, fee and timing are confirmed before engagement. Where the claim or counterparty is unclear, start with a supplier dispute assessment. Subsequent discussions can be scoped as supplier negotiation.

Let’s find
a way forward.

Tell us what happened, who is involved and what you would like to achieve. We’ll discuss the scope and fees before you decide how to proceed.

Please send a brief overview first, without confidential documents. Emailing does not by itself create a lawyer–client relationship.
