CHINA LEGAL SUPPORT
English-speaking China lawyer for contract disputes and debt recovery
Ada particularly assists overseas SMEs and business owners who need English communication and do not have a China legal team. Core matters include supplier non-delivery, refused refunds, unpaid invoices and commercial contract disputes. Supplier checks and contract review can also help before the next transaction.
Clients are welcome worldwide. Beyond commercial disputes, Ada's work covers cross-border investment, data compliance, intellectual property and international family matters. Appropriately authorised local professionals are coordinated where foreign-law advice or representation is required.
Demand & Settlement
Pursue agreed demands and negotiation, addressing payment dates, instalments and default terms so the settlement also works at the performance stage.
