China Contracts: How They Should Be Signed
Dan Harris, a founding member of Harris Moure, has posted a piece on “Above the Law” describing how a lawyer’s client should ensure a proper signing by its Chinese counterpart.
“You must ensure that your contract is properly executed by the Chinese company with which you are contracting,’ he writes. “It should be with a duly formed Chinese company and signed by the legal representative of that Chinese company. The name and address of the Chinese company should accord with the information registered for this company and the Chinese company’s chop should be used to seal the contract.”
