A licensed Chinese attorney who tells you what things actually cost, what your options really are, and which lawyer is right for your specific case — in one 45-minute call.
For identical legal work, Chinese law firms can quote prices that differ by 5× or more. Most foreigners have no benchmark — and end up paying a premium simply for not knowing what the market looks like. In your consultation, we answer exactly these questions.
We match lawyers across every area of Chinese law. If your situation isn't listed, it's almost certainly still covered.
With 7 years representing foreign clients across China, Nora has built an extensive network of vetted Chinese lawyers spanning every major practice area. She's advised clients from over 30 countries on trade disputes, IP protection, divorce proceedings, and company formation — and she knows which lawyers deliver, and which ones just say they do.
She founded China Lawyer Advisor because she watched too many foreigners overpay or hire the wrong specialist simply for lacking a trusted, independent source of advice.

"After one call I understood the market — and ended up paying $380 instead of the $1,200 I was originally quoted. The free consultation was the best decision I made."
"I finally understood what I was dealing with. The lawyer matched to me charged $600 — two other firms had quoted me over $2,000 for the same work."
"They told me I didn't need a lawyer at all — a notarized document would do. That honest answer saved me over $3,000. Rare to find someone willing to say that."
