Attorney Jeremy Secures Settlement for Trinidadian Buyer in Equipment Dispute with Zhuhai Supplier

Recently, the legal team of Senior Partner Larry Zhou at Landing (Shenzhen) Law Office successfully assisted a Trinidadian purchaser in resolving a contract dispute with a Zhuhai-based equipment supplier in China.

Background:

The client, a purchaser from Trinidad, contracted a Zhuhai supplier for specialized equipment. Upon delivery, the client discovered that the equipment model differed from the contract specifications, rendering the entire system unusable. Despite repeated negotiations, the supplier failed to propose a viable solution.

Legal Strategy & Resolution:

Engaged by the client, Attorney Jeremy Hu adopted a dual approach:

1. Pre-litigation Negotiation:

Initially, our lawyers sought a cost-effective resolution through direct dialogue. While the supplier acknowledged the error, they cited prohibitive replacement costs as grounds for inaction.

2. Creative Problem-Solving:

Undeterred, our lawyers maintained pressure while proposing alternative solutions. During discussions, the supplier revealed they had another pending order in Trinidad for the same incorrect equipment model.

Outcome:

A mutually beneficial agreement was reached:

- The client would transfer the misdelivered equipment to the supplier’s new buyer in Trinidad.

- The supplier would expedite shipment of the correct model to the client.

This innovative solution minimized costs for all parties and ensured the client’s operational continuity. The client praised lawyers’ legal expertise and client-centric service, highlighting our legal team’s ability to deliver efficient, high-value outcomes in complex cross-border disputes.
