Ningbo Lawyer

We provide legal services in Ningbo. Our lawyers provide legal help to foreign clients, overseas companies, and cross-border families. Whether you are moving to China for work, starting a business, or just visiting, dealing with a different legal system can feel overwhelming. We are here to help. Based in Ningbo — one of China's most welcoming and international cities — our bilingual legal team makes Chinese law simple, clear, and manageable for you.

1. Commercial & Business Disputes

Business conflicts can be costly — especially in a foreign country. We represent foreign companies and individuals in disputes involving contracts, unpaid debts, partnerships, and supply chains. Whenever possible, we resolve matters through negotiation or mediation, saving you time and money. If litigation or arbitration is unavoidable, our lawyers represent you in Ningbo courts and major arbitration institutions, including CIETAC and Ningbo Arbitration Commission, keeping you informed at every stage — in English.

2. Labor Arbitration & Employment Disputes

Whether you are an employee or an employer, we protect your rights under Chinese labor law. We handle unpaid wages, wrongful termination, severance calculations, non-compete clauses, and social insurance disputes. For foreign employees, we explain your contract in clear terms before you sign. For foreign-invested companies, we help design compliant employment policies and represent you in labor arbitration hearings.

3. Marriage & Family Matters

Family law in China has its own rules — especially for international couples. We assist with marriage registration between Chinese and foreign nationals, prenuptial and property agreements, divorce (negotiated or litigated), child custody and support, cross-border asset division, and inheritance planning. These are sensitive matters; we handle them with discretion, patience, and complete confidentiality.

4. Intellectual Property 

Your brand, invention, and creativity deserve protection in China. We help you register and enforce trademarks, patents, and copyrights; draft licensing and technology transfer agreements; and combat counterfeiting and infringement. We also conduct IP due diligence for foreign investors acquiring Chinese companies. Early registration is critical in China — the first to file usually wins — so contact us before you launch.

5. Notarization Services

Official documents often need notarization to be valid in China or abroad. We assist with notarization of birth certificates, marriage certificates, diplomas, powers of attorney, company documents, and more — and coordinate apostille or consular legalization where required. We also provide certified translation services, so your documents are accepted the first time, without delays.

6. Corporate Legal Counsel ( Legal Advisor )

Running a business in China means facing legal questions every week. Our retainer service gives your company an on-call legal advisor for a fixed monthly fee. We review contracts, answer compliance questions, update you on regulatory changes, draft company policies, and attend key meetings. It is like having an in-house legal department — at a fraction of the cost.

7. Real Estate Legal Services

Buying, selling, or leasing property in China involves significant risk if contracts are not checked carefully. We review and negotiate purchase and lease agreements, conduct title checks, assist with foreign property purchase qualification, handle deposits and payments safely, and resolve disputes with developers, landlords, or agencies. Whether it is your home or your company's office, we make sure your investment is legally secure.

8. Investment Legal Services

China remains one of the world's most attractive investment destinations — but the rules keep evolving. We guide foreign investors through the entire process: market-entry strategy, company formation (WFOE, joint venture, representative office), foreign investment compliance, M&A transactions, due diligence, tax structuring, and profit repatriation. We help you understand the opportunities *and* the risks before you commit your capital.

9. Civil Disputes & General Litigation

Life in a foreign country can bring unexpected problems: damaged goods, a loan that was never repaid, or a neighbor dispute. We represent foreign individuals in all kinds of civil cases — personal injury claims, debt recovery, contract disputes, tort claims, and more. We explain the process, estimate realistic outcomes, and fight for fair compensation on your behalf.
