Lawyers in Shenzhen

When you need a lawyer in Shenzhen

Shenzhen is China’s Silicon Valley and the global centre of electronics — the destination for gadgets, components, and OEM manufacturing. Legal help is needed for: visas, company registration (WFOE), contracts, and intellectual property protection.

Typical rates: lawyer or consultant — $120–280/hr. General questions are answered free of charge, and a specialist will personally review your case.

What matters specifically for Russian speakers from the CIS

• Visa. For purchasing trips — a business visa (M); for employment — a work visa (Z); Hong Kong’s proximity is convenient for visa and banking matters.
• IP is critical in electronics. Register your trademark and, if you have your own product, your patent in China first — copies appear fast.
• Factory contracts — bilingual, under PRC jurisdiction, with clauses covering defects and deadlines; for OEM/ODM, separate provisions on moulds and design rights.
• Money. Bringing funds in from Russia — USDT→RMB and international transfers.

Company: WFOE or a Hong Kong structure

• WFOE in Shenzhen for full-scale operations;
• a popular combination is a Hong Kong company + procurement in Shenzhen (Hong Kong is right next door);
• a lawyer handles registration, licenses, and structure.

Contracts, OEM and disputes

• factory verification (real production, CE/RoHS certificates for export);
• the contract should cover liability for defects, lead times, design rights, and mold ownership;
• pre-trial settlement is more effective than litigation.

How to choose

• hire a lawyer with hands-on experience in electronics, IP, and international trade;
• contracts are bilingual with PRC jurisdiction;
• agree on services and fees in advance.
