Legal Q&A
How important is it to make sure the Chinese language version and the English language version are consistent if we have confirmed that the English language version is the governing one?
Even if the English language version of a contract is the governing one, it’s still important to make sure that the Chinese language version is consistent with it. Chinese courts may look to the Chinese language version in interpreting the contract’s terms, so inconsistencies between the two versions can lead to confusion, misunderstandings, and disputes.
Â
To avoid these issues, both versions of the contract should be reviewed and translated by qualified professionals to ensure that the language is clear, precise, and consistent. This will help ensure that both parties understand the terms of the contract and reduce the risk of disputes arising in the future.
What are some key considerations for drafting a contract that will be enforceable in China?
Here are the key considerations for drafting a contract that will be enforceable in China:
- Include dispute resolution clauses that comply with Chinese law
- Use Chinese law as the governing law if it is a mandatory requirement in China
- Ensure that the contract is properly executed according to Chinese legal formalities, which may include the use of an official seal
- Use clear and precise terms in the contract
- Avoid using legal concepts that aren’t accepted by Chinese courts
What are the key differences between Chinese Contract Law and contract law in the Common Law legal system?
Chinese contract law differs from the contract law in the U.S. or the U.K. in several keyways. These include:
- Contracts must generally be executed in writing in China.
- Company official seals are usually required for contract signing, and electronic signatures may not be recognized in practice.
- Chinese law places more emphasis on the formalities of contract execution.
- Courts in China are more likely to strictly interpret the terms of a contract.
What are some common contract disputes that arise when doing business in China, and how can I avoid them?
Common contract disputes in China can include issues such as non-payment, delivery of defective products, late payment, late delivery of products, non-compete, ownership of IPRs, the scope of confidential information, and breaches of contracts.
Â
To avoid these issues, it’s important to negotiate and draft contracts carefully and make sure there is no misunderstanding, with input from legal professionals who are familiar with local laws and regulations. Clear and ongoing communication with Chinese business partners is also important, as this can help prevent misunderstandings.
How much does a "Contract Drafting" legal service typically cost?
The cost of a contract drafting legal service can vary depending on the complexity of the contract. For example, drafting a simple contract such as a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) may cost around a thousand dollars, while more complex contracts, such as joint venture agreements or IP licensing agreements, can cost a few thousand dollars.
