How It Works
Four Steps, No Guesswork
The same sequence whether you are checking a new supplier or chasing an old one.
Send the documents
Contract, proforma invoice, payment records and correspondence — whatever you have.
Get an honest read
Within 24–48 hours: is there a case, what is it worth, and what will it cost.
Decide with numbers
We put the likely recovery next to the likely cost. You decide with both in front of you.
Act — or prevent
We pursue recovery, or we fix the process so the next deal does not repeat this one.
Insights
What We Are Seeing Right Now
Practical notes on supplier risk, contracts and enforcement — written for buyers, not for search engines.
China recognised ad hoc arbitration for the first time in 2026, but Article 82 opens it only for maritime disputes and for disputes between companies registered in a free trade zone. Where the two gateways fall, and what a foreign buyer should draft instead.
Since 1 May 2026 an uncollected container at a Chinese port is the shipper's cost, not the consignee's - a reversal of the 1993 rule. What that means under FOB, CFR and CIF, the trap in the second paragraph of Article 93, and what the carrier can still recover.
A Chinese court refused to stop payment under a counter-guarantee after the beneficiary settled the underlying claim. What that means for anyone holding a Chinese demand guarantee or standby letter of credit, and the narrow grounds on which a court will intervene.
