Resolve Your Trading Dispute with a Chinese Lawyer

When a Chinese supplier takes your deposit and disappears, delivers goods that don't match the contract, or holds your cargo hostage — time is critical. Our Chinese litigation lawyers move fast to preserve evidence, freeze assets and recover your losses.

We have handled hundreds of trade disputes for foreign buyers across 50+ countries. From supplier fraud and non-delivery to quality defects and freight forwarder withholding, we know how Chinese courts and arbitration work — and how to get your money back.

  • Supplier fraud & non-delivery recovery
  • Quality / specification disputes
  • Freight forwarder & cargo withholding disputes
  • Evidence preservation & asset freezing
  • Litigation, arbitration & cross-border enforcement

Our Approach

We act within days — not weeks — to secure evidence and freeze the supplier's accounts, then pursue recovery through the fastest available channel: negotiation, arbitration or litigation.

What We Handle

Common Trading Disputes We Handle

Supplier disappeared with your deposit

You paid and the supplier vanished — or refuses to ship without more money.

Goods don't match the contract

Inferior materials, wrong specifications, counterfeit certificates.

Freight forwarder withholding cargo

Your goods are held at port and extra fees are demanded.

Contract or document fraud

Forged bills of lading, fake credentials, a contract never honored.

Our Process

How We Recover Your Money — Step by Step

1

Assess & strategize

We review your contract, payments and communications, and identify the fastest recovery route.

2

Preserve evidence

We secure the evidence Chinese courts accept — before it is deleted or lost.

3

Freeze assets

We apply to freeze the supplier's bank accounts and assets to stop them moving money.

4

Pursue recovery

We negotiate, arbitrate or litigate — and enforce the judgment across borders.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Generally no — we act on your behalf in negotiation, arbitration and litigation without you needing to travel.

We investigate the supplier and its owners, and pursue all available routes — including criminal reporting for fraud and cross-border enforcement.

We offer transparent fees, and for eligible cases a contingency model — you only pay when we recover.

Timelines vary by case, but we move immediately on evidence and asset freezing, which is often decisive.
