Why clients trust us

Professional, trustworthy, secure — the baseline of cross-border legal service.

Confidentiality

Consultation information is used solely for assessment and follow-up, protected by professional confidentiality and handled in line with PIPL and GDPR expectations.

Assess first

Initial consultation assesses matter type, deadlines, evidence, and viable paths — free, non-binding, and never pushing unnecessary proceedings.

Honest assessment

We are candid about prospects and risks. Outcomes depend on facts, evidence, and local rules — anyone promising a specific result is not to be trusted.

Cross-border compliance

Foreign proceedings are handled with locally licensed counsel under local rules — we never step outside our license to give local-law opinions.

Practice statement: Shenyuan International practices in mainland China; foreign legal proceedings are conducted through locally licensed counsel. An initial consultation does not create an attorney-client relationship or formal legal advice.
Before you begin

Frequently asked questions

How soon will I hear back?

We commit to a first response within 24 hours, then arrange the next conversation based on urgency, region, and document readiness.

Can I submit before I have all documents?

Yes. A timeline, key people, and desired outcome are enough for an initial direction.

Is this formal legal advice?

No. Initial consultation is for understanding the matter and identifying next steps; it does not create a retainer or formal legal advice.

Can I contact you on WeChat?

Yes. You can first share the matter type and urgency on WeChat. If there are many documents, submitting the form also helps us understand the situation more completely.

Free consultation

Your cross-border dispute deserves a starting point in your own language.

Submit the basics or scan our WeChat. We will assess deadlines, evidence, and viable paths — free, honest, and directional.

Thank you for your trust. We look forward to further contact.
