CHINA TRADE COUNSEL
WHY THIS PRACTICE

Cross-border disputes rarely begin as abstract legal questions. They begin with a quotation, a pro forma invoice, a deposit, a changed specification, a delayed shipment, an amended bill of lading or a promise made in WeChat.
Before practising law, Song Xiaopeng spent more than a decade working in international trade. That experience informs how he reads supplier identity, pricing, payment routes, production records, shipping documents and the evidence chain as one transaction.
The aim is not to promise an outcome. It is to identify the responsible Chinese entity, usable evidence, commercial leverage, available forum, asset position and proportionate recovery path.
WORKING METHOD
Each matter starts with the transaction and documents, then moves to the legal route and its commercial cost.
Who promised, who signed, who received funds, who performed and where the records are held.
Connect contract, payment, specifications, messages, inspection and shipping records.
Assess demand, preservation, settlement, litigation or arbitration against assets, time and cost.
INITIAL CASE ASSESSMENT
A conflict check and written engagement through the law firm are required before legal services begin.
