Fee Structure

We understand that each client, matter, and budget is different. Therefore, we offer flexible fee structures designed to provide clear, predictable pricing while matching the complexity and urgency of your case.

1. Fixed fees for clearly defined work

For one‑off, well‑defined legal services, we can agree on a fixed project fee.
Typical matters include: contract review and drafting, company/WFOE incorporation, visa and residence applications, standard debt collection packages, and document checks.

Benefits:

Clear and transparent pricing from the outset
No hourly billing anxiety
Fees tied to an agreed scope of work

2. Hourly billing for ongoing advisory

For ongoing or open‑ended matters, we charge on an hourly basis with regular reporting and monthly invoices.
This model is often used for: continuous compliance advice, cross‑border negotiations, complex dispute strategy, and long‑term corporate or HR support.

Benefits:

You pay only for the actual time spent
Flexible scope, suitable for changing business needs
Detailed time records for full transparency

3. Retainer arrangements

For clients who require regular legal support, we can set up a retainer package with a pre‑agreed number of hours per month at a preferential rate.
This is suitable for: foreign‑invested enterprises, SMEs with ongoing operations in China, and clients needing frequent review of contracts, HR issues, and cross‑border matters.

Benefits:

Priority access to our team
Better cost control and budgeting
Proactive, long‑term risk management

4. Success‑based / blended fee structures (where permitted)

For certain dispute resolution, debt recovery, or enforcement matters, and subject to PRC law and local bar rules, we may consider a blended structure combining a basic fixed or hourly fee with a success‑based component.

Benefits:

Aligns part of our fee with the outcome achieved
Reduces upfront cost in suitable cases
