Common China Supplier Dispute Situations We Handle

If any of these sound familiar, you likely have a recoverable case. The sooner you act, the stronger your position — suppliers can move or hide assets quickly.

📦

Goods Never Shipped — Non-Delivery Claim

You paid the deposit or full amount. The factory went silent. Product was never dispatched. Your money is sitting in China.

🔧

Defective or Wrong Products Dispute

What arrived doesn't match the samples, specs, or purchase order. The supplier refuses refund or replacement.

💸

Deposit Stolen / Scam Supplier Recovery

The company turned out to be fraudulent, changed bank details mid-payment, or disappeared after receiving your wire transfer.

📋

Contract Breach — Delayed Delivery Penalty

The factory violated agreed delivery dates, quality standards, or exclusivity terms. You suffered financial losses as a result.

🚢

🏭

OEM / IP & Trademark Infringement

Your factory is selling your branded designs to competitors, or you paid for exclusive molds that are being reused without consent.

Our Process

How We Recover Your Money from Chinese Suppliers

A clear, transparent process — you'll know exactly where your case stands at every step. Most clients never need to visit China.

1

Free Case Assessment (24–48 hrs)

Send us your purchase documents, contracts, correspondence, and payment records. We review the facts, assess collectibility, and give you a frank opinion on your recovery options — at no charge. We handle claims from $5,000 to $5,000,000+.

No obligation · Confidential
2

Legal Demand Letter & Negotiation

We issue a formal legal demand letter in Chinese — signed by a licensed PRC attorney. This is often enough to prompt immediate settlement, since Chinese factories face serious legal consequences from licensed attorneys. Many cases resolve here without ever going to court.

~60% of cases resolve within 2-8 weeks after we send a formal demand letter
3

CIETAC Arbitration or Litigation in China

If negotiation fails, we file in Chinese courts or CIETAC arbitration. We enforce the contract under Chinese law — where the supplier's assets actually are. No expensive international litigation needed.

CIETAC · SHIAC · Local courts
4

Enforcement & International Fund Transfer

Once we obtain a judgment or award, we enforce it against the supplier's bank accounts, property, and business licenses inside China. You receive your recovered funds via international wire transfer. The entire process is handled remotely — no travel required.

The Advantage of a Licensed PRC Attorney Acting Inside China

Most international law firms can't actually do anything inside China. We're already there — with real legal standing.

⚖️

Licensed PRC Attorney

Fully licensed to practice in Chinese courts and arbitration centers. Your case is handled by someone with real standing inside the Chinese legal system — not a foreign consultant.

🏛️

Direct Enforcement Power

We can freeze bank accounts, seize business licenses, and pursue assets directly in China — something no foreign law firm can do on its own.

🌐

English-First Communication

You'll never feel lost in translation. All communication, documents, and updates are provided in clear English. We handle all Chinese filings on your behalf.

💰

Success-Based Pricing

We align our fees with your outcome. Consultation is free, and for many cases we work on a contingency basis — you pay more only when we recover more.

📊

Honest Case Assessment

We'll tell you upfront if we think a case isn't worth pursuing. We don't take cases we can't win — our 93% success rate reflects that standard.

⚡

Fast Asset Freeze

Asset transfers and company dissolutions happen quickly in China. We issue legal freezing orders fast — time is the most critical factor in trade fraud recovery cases.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions — China Supplier Dispute Recovery

Everything you want to know before making the call. Honest answers, no sales spin.

What is the minimum claim amount you handle?
We typically handle disputes of USD $5,000 and above. Below that threshold, legal costs may outweigh the recovery. For smaller amounts we can advise on self-help options at no charge.
How long does it take to recover money from a Chinese supplier?
Demand-letter settlements often resolve in 2–8 weeks. Arbitration cases typically take 3–6 months. Litigation in Chinese courts can take 6–18 months. We'll give you a realistic timeline after reviewing your specific case — we don't mislead clients on timing.
What documents do I need to provide?
Purchase orders or contracts, payment receipts (bank transfer records, SWIFT confirmations), product specifications or samples, all correspondence with the supplier (email, WeChat, WhatsApp), and inspection reports if available. Don't worry if you're missing some — we work with what exists.
The factory I dealt with seems to have closed. Can you still pursue them?
Often yes. Chinese companies leave extensive paper trails — corporate registrations, business license records, tax filings, and connected entities. We can trace legal entities, connected companies, and individual principals. If assets still exist in China, there are paths to recovery.
What are your fees to recover money from a Chinese factory?
Initial consultation is always free. For straightforward cases, we charge a flat retainer plus a success fee (percentage of recovery). For complex or high-value cases, we discuss contingency arrangements. We never surprise you with hidden costs — the fee structure is agreed in writing before we start.
Can I sue a Chinese company from the USA, UK, or Australia?
Yes. We represent clients from 30+ countries. You do not need to travel to China or hire a local attorney in your home country. We handle all legal proceedings in China on your behalf, and communicate entirely in English.
Do you need to be physically present in China to use your services?
No. Everything — consultation, document submission, updates, and fund transfer — is handled remotely. Many of our clients have never visited China and never need to.
