Frequently Asked Questions
When do I need to conduct legal due diligence?
Legal due diligence is always important to protect your business interests as well as for your internal compliance reasons. Before signing a business contract, initiating a lawsuit, making an investment to a company or lending money to a business client, you should conduct legal verification of the target company or the counterparty.
Why should I have a lawyer to conduct company verification, or can I simply have an agent collect some information from the company filing system?
Our vetted lawyers will obtain information of a named target company not only from Chinese company registries, but from multiple sources, such as confirming the bankruptcy status and record of default under judicial judgments in the Chinese courts system, which is not available for non-lawyer agents. In addition to the factual findings, our vetted lawyers will provide legal risk analysis and recommendations based on their professional experience.
What information should I provide to the lawyer when booking this service?
You only need to provide the accurate legal name of the target company on which you need due diligence. It is helpful if you also provide the target company’s city and province, if known.
Do I still need due diligence after I’ve already started business with my Chinese business counterparty?
If you have a long-term business relationship with a Chinese company and your business or financial success relies upon that relationship, it is recommended to check out your business partner’s most recent status on a quarterly or semi-annual basis. This is especially important if there is any sign indicating your business partner might delay a payment or debt repayment, or there is any negative news about it or its controlling shareholders. We provide such follow-on company watch service. Please contact our customer support at support@trustiics.com if there is a need or if you are not sure whether such a service is needed.
What if the lawyer identifies some serious risk but I don’t know what to do with such findings?
You can either contact us at support@trustiics.com or message the lawyer who helped you with the due diligence.
