Frequently Asked Questions
Q:What's the first step after a dispute occurs?
Immediately preserve all relevant evidence, including contracts, email correspondence, quality inspection reports, payment records, etc. Contact us within 48 hours for a preliminary legal assessment to evaluate your options and prevent evidence loss.
Q:How long does dispute resolution take?
It depends on case complexity. Simple payment disputes through negotiation may resolve within 2-3 months. Complex quality disputes or arbitration cases typically take 6-18 months. We always aim for efficient resolution while protecting your interests.
Q:I'm not in China, how can I engage your services?
We specialize in serving overseas clients. All preliminary consultations are conducted via video conference. We provide bilingual (Chinese + English) services, can sign engagement agreements electronically, and handle engagement procedures through the Chinese embassy in your country. Unless specific procedures require it, you don't need to visit China in person.
Q:Can Chinese court judgments be enforced in Saudi Arabia?
China and Saudi Arabia have judicial assistance agreements. While direct enforcement can be complex, we can coordinate with local Saudi lawyers to explore enforcement options. Generally, arbitration awards are easier to enforce internationally under the New York Convention.
Q:What are your fee arrangements?
We offer flexible fee arrangements: hourly billing (adjusted based on complexity), fixed fees for specific services (such as lawyer's letters, contract review), or contingency fees for certain recovery cases. We will provide a written fee estimate after preliminary assessment.
