Pre-Litigation Dispute Resolution
Take organized, proportionate steps when a commercial transaction goes wrong.
THE CHALLENGE
Move from scattered messages to a clear next step.
Late deliveries, non-conforming machinery, refund disputes and unpaid balances often involve evidence spread across contracts, payment records, inspection files and chat messages. A clear chronology and a defined requested outcome can make discussions more focused.
Pre-litigation Case Assessment
Organize the known facts, transaction timeline, available evidence, counterparties and commercial objectives. Where legal analysis is needed, the scope and responsible qualified legal provider must be confirmed separately.
- Build a chronology of key events.
- List available and missing documents.
- Identify practical options and unresolved questions.
Commercial Demand Letters
Coordinate preparation and delivery of a structured written request setting out the transaction, the issue, supporting records, requested remedy and response deadline. Legal drafting or issuance is handled by an appropriately authorized legal provider where required.
- State the requested outcome clearly.
- Reference relevant transaction records.
- Keep a record of sending and response.
Negotiation Support
Help organize discussion points, proposed settlement options, response tracking and follow-up communications within the agreed commercial support scope.
- Separate confirmed facts from disputed claims.
- Set out options and decision points.
- Record proposals and agreed actions.
What to prepare
Contracts and purchase orders, invoices, bank records, delivery documents, inspection evidence, messages with original dates, and a short explanation of the outcome you want. Preserve original records and avoid editing source evidence.
Typical workflow
Initial conflict check and scope discussion; evidence organization; confirmation of the responsible service provider; agreed assessment or communication work; then a review of responses and possible next steps.
Important professional boundary
This service page does not promise a legal opinion or court representation from LYU ADVISORY as a commercial company. PRC legal advice, lawyer's letters, representation and other regulated legal services must be undertaken through an appropriately qualified and authorized lawyer or law firm under a separate engagement where required. Court fees, notarization, authentication, translation and other third-party costs are separate unless expressly agreed.
