Client

G Real Estate Brokerage Company is registered in Dubai. Shanghai Lixiaohua Law Firm acts as its legal adviser on matters connected with its China-facing business.

Scope

Advice on cross-border brokerage arrangements and commission disputes, the review of service agreements with Chinese developers and agencies, compliance with foreign exchange and property-purchase restrictions applicable to overseas buyers, and the handling of disputes where a transaction fails after deposit.

Note

Overseas brokerages selling Chinese property, and Chinese buyers purchasing abroad, face mirror-image problems: marketing claims that are lawful in one jurisdiction, restrictions on capital movement in another, and commission arrangements that are enforceable in neither unless properly documented.
