International Trade Legal Services：
Many companies choose to expand business overseas as domestic competition intensifies. In addition to operational risks such as transportation, installment and product quality control, legal risks have become particularly prominent in recent years. Many engagements of our services were involving in the situations where payment cannot be made on time or the clients even fall victim to outright criminal fraud. We recommend investigating the creditworthiness of manufacturers or agents before signing the contracts, including understanding the nature of the company, the status of its capital, and any unresolved litigation. Some company publication systems in China can provide details such as registration information of the company for establishment which can be helpful for analyzing the counterparty’s performance capabilities and credit status.
Additionally, during the contract signing process, careful design of necessary clauses, including those on payment, dispute resolution, and breach of contract, can effectively mitigate risks and increase the likelihood of obtaining compensation if risks materialize.Our professional lawyers have extensive experience in handling international trade matters and can provide you with comprehensive protection.

Drafting Legal Notices to Preserve the Statute of Limitations
In cases where the buyer fails to make payments, sending a legal letter serves as a warning and informs the other party of the legal consequences of non-compliance. Since international litigation often requires a long preparation time, sending a legal letter to the defaulting party can extend the statute of limitations.
Litigation and Arbitration Representation
Accepting Commissions for Litigation and Arbitration
If the international trade contract clearly stipulates that disputes will be submitted to arbitration, such disputes will be handled by the relevant arbitration institution in accordance with its current effective arbitration rules, with the arbitration awards being final. Otherwise, the dispute will be handled by the court at the contractually agreed location or the defendant’s location, following first and second-instance trial rules.
Reporting Criminal Cases
If there is clear evidence that the buyer signed the contract with the intention of possession and without genuine intent to fulfill the sales contract, relevant materials can be prepared and reported to the appropriate public security authorities.
