For overseas founders, SMEs, in-house legal teams, and foreign companies doing business with or in China.
When a Chinese supplier delays delivery, ships defective goods, refuses a refund, or disappears after payment, the first legal question is not “can we sue?” It is what action creates leverage quickly and preserves evidence for negotiation, arbitration, or litigation.
How We Help
Supplier due diligence and contract review
Evidence review for purchase orders, invoices, chats, inspection reports, bills of lading, and payment records
Demand letters and negotiation strategy in English and Chinese
Arbitration or litigation route assessment
Property preservation, evidence preservation, and enforcement planning when available
Working Process
Send the contract, invoice, purchase order, payment record, supplier business name in Chinese, and timeline.
We review jurisdiction, evidence strength, commercial leverage, and realistic recovery options.
You receive a practical action plan: demand letter, negotiation position, filing route, or risk assessment.
What To Send First
Please send the contract or main documents, counterparty name, amount in dispute, deadline, location, and a short timeline. We will identify the practical next step before suggesting a larger legal route.
Common Questions
Can I sue a Chinese supplier from overseas?
Often yes, but the right forum depends on the contract, parties, evidence, amount, and whether assets can be identified in China.
Is a demand letter useful?
Yes when it is tied to evidence, legal exposure, commercial pressure, and a credible escalation path.
