Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — our firm can represent you in such matters. Under Chinese law, once the retainer documents are signed, we can act on your behalf to pursue contractual performance or compensation through negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or litigation.
Yes — Chinese lawyers are licensed to practice throughout the entire country. Even if your case is under the jurisdiction of a court outside Wuxi, we can still represent your interests.
Yes — we provide comprehensive legal services for mergers and acquisitions, including due diligence, transaction structuring, contract drafting, regulatory filings, and post-transaction integration support.
If you decide to engage our services, please first pay a non-refundable engagement fee of $500. Upon receipt of this fee, we will prepare the complete set of retainer documents. The $500 engagement fee will be credited toward the lawyer’s fees for the services you subsequently engage us to provide.
Our legal fees depend on the complexity of each case. We typically charge an initial base fee at the commencement of the engagement, followed by a success-based fee calculated as a percentage of the settlement or award obtained (generally ranging from 6% to 18%).
As each matter is assessed on a case-by-case basis, please contact us by email or phone. We will provide a fee estimate based on the specific circumstances of your case.
Before signing the retainer agreement, you may reach us by email or phone. After the agreement is executed, you may contact us during business hours via WhatsApp, WeChat, or video conferencing platforms such as Zoom or Microsoft Teams.
Yes. Under Chinese legal and procedural requirements, original documents and evidence are generally required for formal legal actions, including litigation, arbitration, notarization, and evidence submission to courts or authorities.
Electronic copies or scans may be sufficient for preliminary review and case assessment, but original documents must be provided when a matter proceeds to formal handling, unless otherwise permitted by applicable law or agreed procedural arrangements.
Lyu & Associates will advise clients in advance on which originals are required, how they should be delivered, and how they will be safeguarded during the engagement.
In most cases, no. Once engaged, Lyu & Associates can act on your behalf under a valid power of attorney, handling communications, negotiations, filings, and procedural matters in China without requiring your physical presence.
Clients are only advised to travel to China in limited situations where personal attendance is legally required or strategically beneficial, which will be discussed and agreed upon in advance.
Lyu & Associates operates under a lead counsel model. As lead counsel, Qiang Lyu is responsible for client engagement, fee administration, case coordination, and ultimate professional accountability for all matters handled by the team.
Centralized payment to lead counsel ensures clear responsibility, consistent service standards, and effective coordination among PRC-licensed lawyers involved in a matter.
All legal services are provided by licensed Chinese attorneys and governed by written engagement agreements.
Client satisfaction and professional responsibility are taken seriously at Lyu & Associates. If concerns arise during an engagement, clients are encouraged to raise them promptly so they can be reviewed and addressed by lead counsel.
All engagements are governed by written engagement agreements, which define the scope of work, fee arrangements, and dispute resolution mechanisms.
Where appropriate, fees for unperformed work may be adjusted in accordance with the engagement terms.
As a PRC-licensed attorney, Qiang Lyu bears professional responsibility for client matters and remains accountable under applicable Chinese legal and professional regulations.
Under PRC law, lawyers must accept legal engagements through a licensed Chinese law firm.
Accordingly, client engagements with Lyu & Associates are formally documented under the law firm with which lead counsel Qiang Lyu is affiliated, using a complete set of PRC-compliant engagement documents, including Initial consultation record, engagement agreements, risk disclosure notices, and powers of attorney.
This structure ensures that all representation is legally valid, properly documented, and fully compliant with Chinese legal requirements.
Under PRC law, lead counsel Qiang Lyu is permitted to represent clients nationwide and does not require local counsel for geographic reasons.
In practice, collaboration with locally based PRC-licensed lawyers is often a strategic choice to enhance accuracy, efficiency, and risk control through peer review, joint analysis, and local procedural insight.
Where such collaboration is used, clients may be asked to sign coordinated engagement documents with a local law firm. This does not increase the client’s overall legal fees, and overall case management and ultimate professional responsibility remain with lead counsel Qiang Lyu.
All engagements are formally documented through licensed PRC law firms in compliance with Chinese law.
Under a lead counsel model, legal fees are commonly collected by lead counsel and internally settled with participating PRC-licensed lawyers, allowing clients to deal with a single accountable point of responsibility and avoiding fragmented payments.
This structure also facilitates cross-border payments, where foreign-currency receiving arrangements may require additional administrative procedures under PRC foreign-exchange regulations.
Clients who prefer to pay the contracting law firm directly may do so, subject to the firm establishing an appropriate foreign-currency receiving account. In all cases, written engagement documents apply, and ultimate professional responsibility remains with Qiang Lyu.
We regularly represent overseas importers, exporters, investors, and businesses engaged in cross-border trade or investment with China. Our clients include SMEs and mid-sized enterprises from North America, Europe, Australia, and Southeast Asia who require reliable, English-speaking legal representation in China for commercial disputes, contract enforcement, fraud recovery, and corporate transactions.
