Why it matters

The account can freeze
before notice arrives.

Schedule A litigation in U.S. federal courts has become one of the most disruptive legal risks for Chinese cross-border sellers. Plaintiffs may obtain ex parte temporary restraining orders that freeze marketplace accounts and funds before the seller is aware of the suit.

These matters most commonly concentrate in the Northern District of Illinois and the Southern District of New York. Speed, court familiarity and negotiation experience can determine how much money is released and how quickly the business regains control.

The defense advantage

Built for the moment
speed matters.

Negotiation and litigation tracks are coordinated around the client's commercial objective, available evidence and frozen-funds position.

01
A named, verifiable track record

Representative experience is drawn from prior team case histories and identifiable matters—not generic claims about capability.

02
U.S. federal court familiarity

Experienced U.S.-based experts support matters in the Illinois and New York federal courts where Schedule A cases most often concentrate.

03
Partner-led depth

The team combines cross-border disputes, patent examination, technology transactions, in-house leadership and enforcement experience.

04
Performance-aligned pricing

US litigation is led by attorneys admitted in the relevant jurisdiction. Legal fees and any performance-related arrangement are agreed directly with licensed US counsel and remain subject to applicable court and professional-conduct rules.

05
SaaS case transparency

Shield is currently under construction. Once launched, it is planned to bring filings, deadlines, settlement milestones and fund-release status into one visible client record.

Partner-led experience

Our practitioners bring mature cross-border judgment to intellectual property strategy, protection, enforcement and dispute response.

02
Complementary expertise

03

Performance-aligned pricing

Economics aligned with recovery.

US litigation is led by attorneys admitted in the relevant jurisdiction. Negotiation and litigation tracks may be covered, but legal engagement terms and any performance-related fee are agreed directly with licensed US counsel and remain subject to applicable court and professional-conduct rules.
