Chinese Commercial Litigation Solicitor London

Specialist Chinese Commercial Litigation Solicitors

Duan & Duan UK LLP provides specialist commercial litigation services for Chinese businesses, investors, and individuals involved in disputes in England and Wales. As a Chinese law firm in London with bilingual solicitors fluent in English, Mandarin and Cantonese, we are uniquely placed to represent Chinese clients in complex commercial disputes before the English courts.

Our dispute resolution team has extensive experience handling high-value, multi-jurisdictional cases where English and Chinese legal systems intersect. We understand the commercial realities and cultural context in which Chinese businesses operate, and we provide strategic, results-focused litigation advice.

Cross-Border Business Disputes Between China and the UK

Cross-border commercial disputes between China and the UK are increasingly common as trade and investment flows between the two countries continue to grow. These disputes raise complex questions of jurisdiction, applicable law, service of proceedings overseas, and enforcement of judgments across borders.

Our solicitors advise on jurisdiction strategy — determining whether the English courts are the right forum for your dispute and, if so, how to establish jurisdiction. We have experience obtaining permission to serve proceedings outside the jurisdiction on defendants based in China, Hong Kong and other overseas territories.

We also advise on the recognition and enforcement of Chinese court judgments in England, and the enforcement of English court judgments in China and other jurisdictions. Where court litigation is not the most effective route, we advise on international arbitration, including proceedings before the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA) and other leading institutions.

Shareholder and Investor Disputes

Chinese investors in UK companies frequently face disputes with fellow shareholders, directors, or management. These disputes may involve allegations of unfair prejudice, breach of fiduciary duty, mismanagement, or disagreement over the direction of the company.

Our litigation team advises Chinese shareholders and investors on their rights under English company law, and represents them in shareholder disputes at all levels of the English court system. We have particular experience in cases involving joint venture structures between Chinese and British partners, where cultural differences and misaligned expectations can contribute to conflict.

Fraud and Asset Recovery for Chinese Clients

When Chinese clients are victims of fraud involving assets in England, swift and decisive legal action is essential. Our solicitors have experience obtaining freezing injunctions — including worldwide freezing orders — to prevent defendants from dissipating assets before a judgment can be enforced.

We advise on asset tracing, disclosure orders, and all aspects of fraud litigation in the English courts. Our bilingual capability means we can coordinate effectively with clients, witnesses, and legal professionals in China while conducting proceedings in England.

Beyond contentious matters, our commercial law team advises Chinese businesses on their operations in the UK. This includes company formation, commercial contracts, shareholders' agreements, regulatory compliance, and corporate governance. When commercial relationships break down, our litigation team is ready to step in and protect your interests.
