Non-Litigation Dispute Resolution in China
Non-litigation dispute resolution can help overseas parties address China-related payment, contract, supply, corporate, employment, or commercial conflicts without immediately starting court proceedings. The best route depends on the evidence, urgency, relationship, assets, dispute clause, and willingness of the parties to negotiate.
1. Dispute Assessment and Strategy
We review the parties, contract, chronology, evidence, amounts, legal position, commercial objectives, and enforcement concerns before proposing a negotiation, demand, mediation, or escalation strategy.
2. Demand Letters and Negotiation
We prepare factual and legally grounded communications, identify the requested outcome and response deadline, and support negotiations within the agreed authority.
A demand should preserve the client’s position without making inaccurate claims or unnecessary admissions.
3. Mediation and Settlement
We help prepare negotiation positions, evaluate proposals, participate in discussions, and draft settlement terms addressing payment, performance, security, confidentiality, releases, costs, and default.
4. Escalation Planning
If a negotiated resolution is not achieved, we help preserve evidence and assess the next procedural route, including litigation or arbitration where applicable.
Deadlines and interim measures should be considered while negotiations continue.
Documents for an Initial Review
Provide the contract, chronology, payment and performance records, key communications, prior demands, proposed outcome, dispute clause, and known asset information.
