Why a China-Licensed Lawyer

  • PRC bar admission. Your agreements are drafted by a lawyer qualified to practise Chinese law — not a US-qualified lawyer who needs to coordinate with local counsel.
  • Drafting to enforcement standard. Every agreement is written in bilingual form with the Chinese text controlling, under PRC law, for a China-based forum — because that is where enforcement will happen.
  • In-country presence. Based in Shanghai; on-site supplier verification and factory visits available when needed.
  • Fixed fees, scoped upfront. No open-ended hourly billing. You know the fee and deliverables before work begins.

Clear Scope. Transparent Fees.

Every China manufacturing project is different. The appropriate scope of work depends on your supplier relationship, transaction structure, intellectual property concerns, and the level of review or drafting required.

For clearly defined services — such as the Supplier Risk Snapshot — we offer fixed fees. For more complex matters, we will discuss the scope, deliverables, estimated timeline, and proposed fee before work begins. There is no obligation to proceed until the proposed engagement terms have been agreed.
