Konghua Zhang is a lawyer based in the Yubei District of Chongqing. His practice covers company formation and corporate law, engineering and construction law, corporate governance, debt recovery, contract disputes, and criminal defense.

Attorney Zhang advises foreign investors on establishing wholly foreign-owned enterprises (WFOEs), joint ventures, and representative offices in China. The establishment of a foreign-invested enterprise in China involves multiple stages: project feasibility study, name pre-approval, submission of incorporation documents to the market supervision bureau, obtaining the business license, company seal carving, tax registration, foreign exchange registration, and opening bank accounts. Since the Foreign Investment Law came into effect on January 1, 2020, pre-establishment approval has been replaced by a filing and negative list management system. Foreign investment in most industries now follows a national treatment principle, with restrictions only in sectors listed on the Special Administrative Measures (Negative List). Attorney Zhang guides clients through the company registration process, foreign investment approval procedures, capital contribution requirements, and post-establishment compliance obligations.

He also handles engineering and construction contract disputes, contractor payment claims, and project delay claims. Construction disputes in China are governed by the PRC Civil Code's contract provisions and the Construction Law. Common issues include contract validity, scope of work disputes, change order authorization, payment withholding, and delay damages. Attorney Zhang represents general contractors, subcontractors, and project owners in construction litigation and arbitration.

His corporate governance practice includes shareholder agreement drafting, board resolution preparation, equity transfer documentation, and compliance matters. He also handles debt recovery through negotiation, mediation, and litigation. Attorney Zhang provides comprehensive corporate legal services to both domestic and international clients throughout Chongqing.

Corporate Entry Discipline — Konghua Zhang

I document scope, assumptions, and decision rights at engagement start so foreign clients know what will be filed, who must approve, and when silence becomes a missed deadline.

I treat bilingual consistency as a risk control: chops, authority documents, and English summaries must tell the same commercial story.

Foreign individuals and companies typically need three workstreams in parallel: factual chronology, authority paperwork, and remedy selection. I keep those streams visible in status notes so headquarters can decide without re-reading the entire file. Where local counterparties rely on relationship pressure, I re-anchor discussions to contract text, statutory rights, and verifiable performance records. Fee arrangements, conflict checks, and confidentiality boundaries are confirmed before substantive drafting or filings begin. After key milestones I deliver a short handover: decisions made, open conditions, filing receipts, and calendar items for renewals or enforcement. This operating rhythm reduces repeat disputes and keeps institutional knowledge with the client rather than trapped in chat history.

• ⚖️ Written scope and remedy map
• 📜 Bilingual document control
• 🛡️ Deadline and limitation tracking
• 💼 Enforcement and settlement options in parallel
