China Litigation And Arbitration, Part 3: China Consultants And The Liabilities THEY Face

Our China lawyers often work with many really experienced and really good China consultants. These consultants are usually really good for the following reasons:

• They know the ins and outs of what it takes to succeed in doing business in China and with China.
• They know the ins and outs of how to find good Chinese companies for whatever transaction it is their clients are seeking to do in China because they know how to distinguish between a good company and a bad Chinese company.
• They know the ins and outs of how to negotiate with Chinese companies.
• They know when to bring in a China lawyer to assist.

Of course I had to add that last one, but the truth is that just about every China sourcing consultant I know has violated this last one a few times. And — no surprise — it is on this last one of which I am writing.
