The starting point

Turn a China-facing claim into a sequence of informed decisions.

A company’s inability to pay does not automatically make its shareholders liable. But unpaid or withdrawn capital, certain share transfers, abusive conduct and insolvency facts may justify closer analysis. The legal basis, timing and procedural route must be tested carefully.
