MAINLAND CHINA DISPUTES · FUJIAN EXPERIENCE

Investment Exit & Shareholder Disputes

An investment exit may involve much more than transferring a shareholding. We help overseas investors identify their rights, understand the company and asset position, and work towards a negotiated or contentious exit from mainland China investments.

Start with an outline. Document review and formal advice follow an agreed scope and fee.

When we can help

  • An investor cannot obtain information or agreement on an exit.
  • Shareholders disagree over control, funding or distributions.
  • Investment repayment, share transfer or asset disposal is disputed.
  • A company exit raises debt, liquidation or related dispute issues.

What the mandate may cover

  • Review of the investment structure, agreements and dispute history.
  • An issues list covering rights, evidence and the proposed exit route.
  • Negotiation or dispute proceedings within the agreed mandate.
  • Coordination with separately appointed tax or other specialists where needed.

What to prepare

  • Investment, shareholder and share transfer agreements.
  • Company details, shareholding records and available accounts.
  • Funding and payment records, resolutions and correspondence.
  • Your intended exit, current restrictions and timing.

Before you begin

Can you promise that my investment will be returned?

No. Recovery depends on the legal rights, evidence, company position and assets. We explain the relevant uncertainties before committing to a course of action.

Does the service include overseas tax advice?

The core mandate concerns mainland China disputes. Any tax, foreign law or transaction work requiring other professionals is identified and scoped separately.

FEES & YOUR NEXT DECISION

Agree the scope before committing.

01

Confirm whether we can assist

Outline the issue, location, urgent dates and parties so scope and conflicts can be checked. Initial contact is not a formal legal opinion.

02

Agree a scoped assessment

Where a document review is needed, agree the fee and deliverables first: evidence gaps, possible routes and recommendations for the next stage.

03

Choose the next mandate

Negotiation, proceedings, enforcement or defence work is agreed by stage. Additional work and third-party expenses are identified separately.

The responsible firm, billing currency, payment account and payment method are confirmed in the engagement.
