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.

"I'd been quoted wildly different fees by three firms and had no idea what was normal. After one call I understood the market — and hired the right person at the right price."
"Straight answers, no fluff. I finally understood what I was actually dealing with legally — not vague reassurances. The lawyer they matched me with was exactly right."
"They told me I didn't actually need a lawyer — a cheaper route would work. That honest answer saved me over $3,000. Rare to find someone willing to say that."
