Frequently Asked Questions
We represent overseas importers, exporters, investors, and businesses involved in cross-border trade or investment with China.
Yes — our firm can represent you in such matters. Under Chinese law, once the retainer documents are signed, we can act on your behalf to pursue contractual performance or compensation through negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or litigation.
Our legal fees depend on the complexity of each case. We typically charge an initial base fee at the commencement of the engagement, followed by a success-based fee calculated as a percentage of the settlement or award obtained. Each matter is assessed on a case-by-case basis.
After you have signed the retainer agreement, we will advise you of the specific documents and evidence needed based on the facts of your matter and the procedural requirements of the relevant court.
In most cases, no. Once engaged, Lyu & Associates can act on your behalf under a valid power of attorney, handling communications, negotiations, filings, and procedural matters in China without requiring your physical presence.
All engagements are governed by written engagement agreements, which define the scope of work, fee arrangements, and dispute resolution mechanisms. Qiang Lyu remains professionally accountable for client matters handled by the team.
Collaboration with locally based PRC-licensed lawyers may be used as a strategic choice to enhance accuracy, efficiency, and risk control through peer review and local procedural insight.
The first step is to provide the relevant background information and documents so that we can assess the matter and advise on possible legal solutions.
Before signing the retainer agreement, you may reach us by email or phone. After engagement, communication may be conducted through available business communication platforms.
Electronic copies may be sufficient for preliminary review. Original documents and evidence may be required when a matter proceeds to formal legal procedures.
Yes. You may ask preliminary questions to understand possible legal options. However, before engagement is established, preliminary comments are for general reference only and do not constitute formal legal advice.
Legal engagements are formally documented through a licensed Chinese law firm in compliance with PRC legal requirements.
The duration depends on the complexity of the case, evidence, court procedures, appeals, and enforcement issues. Commercial litigation commonly requires several months or longer depending on the circumstances.
