LEGAL OPINION LETTERS
Expert evidence for use in Family Court
Thanks to an increasingly mobile population, foreign courts are now frequently faced with questions turning on points of Chinese law that cannot be readily addressed by the litigants themselves. In these situations a foreign court may direct that an independent Chinese legal expert be appointed to provide an authoritative opinion on those issues. These reports provide invaluable assistance to judges across the world in helping them provide a fair and speedy disposition to complex transnational family cases.
