From a client
“I trust him completely. If you're buying from China, I'd highly recommend him.”
“Yet just one single letter from Adrian was enough to turn the entire situation around.”
“We worked with Adrian Liu to draft our NNN agreement for Chinese manufacturers, and he did an incredibly thorough job.”
Each review is about one matter. The work and outcome in another matter will depend on its own facts and agreed scope.
From the factory floor to the courtroom. One lawyer on the China side.
I check each contract against Chinese law, Chinese court rulings and my own cases.
