Like other countries, most litigation cases in China end up in the appellate courts. Many people see the Chinese judicial system as quite different from others because narratives suggest it has been influenced by China’s political system. In fact, China is a country more willing to learn from, take over, absorb, and apply the legal theories from other countries (particularly those from the West) to its judicial reform and practice. In certain areas, China has better mechanisms to balance public interest, harmonize social order, and effectively respond to calls from individuals or popular outcries. Its judicial remedies are somehow more available and accessible to the common people. However, there are challenges faced by China’s judicial system on its path of judicial reform.

 

In recent years, there has been a rapid development of alternative dispute mechanisms in China. In addition to CIETAC, the number of local arbitration institutions has increased. China also has been developing specialized arbitration institutions to cover novel legal matters such as maritime issues, exchanges, futures, finance, IPRs, etc. Seeking ADRs for legal disputes has become immensely popular in China’s dispute resolution mechanism.

 

We are experienced in dispute resolutions in China’s judicial and arbitral proceedings, whether civil or criminal matters. We are familiar with all stages of proceedings. We help clients prepare and plan proper strategies to manage each legal issue, whether simple or complex. Through legal research, collecting and preparing evidence, analyzing key legal issues, to presenting and arguing in court or arbitration , we find the balance point to accomplish best results for the clients.

 

China is a large country with diverse cultures and traditions. China allows each region to have slightly different practices to reflect local characteristics in legal proceedings. Although we are licensed to practice law in any region without an additional license, we always work with local attorneys to handle legal matters whenever local support is necessary to achieve the best outcome.
