Zou Yu is an experienced Chinese lawyer at Sichuan Puyou Law Firm in Neijiang, Sichuan Province.

Practice Focus

Practice Focus He specializes in matrimonial and family inheritance cases, construction and real estate disputes, property rights disputes, and contract-based disputes. He has handled a broad range of civil and commercial cases, including family law disputes such as divorce, property division, child custody, and inheritance matters. His construction contract practice involves payment claims, project delays, and quality issues. His property rights cases cover land use rights disputes, real estate ownership disputes, and boundary conflicts. Where local counterparties rely on relationship pressure, I re-anchor discussions to contract text, statutory rights, and verifiable performance records. I plan enforcement first—assets, licenses, receivables, and interim measures—so strategy is not limited to winning on paper. 💼 Under the Civil Procedure Law, the court may conduct mediation before trial or during trial, and a mediated settlement agreement has the same legal force as a court judgment once it is signed by the parties and recognized by the court. Chinese civil procedure strongly encourages mediation at all stages of litigation. Under the Civil Procedure Law, the court may conduct mediation before trial or during trial, and a mediated settlement agreement has the same legal force as a court judgment once it is signed by the parties and recognized by the court. Zou's approach combines deep knowledge of Chinese civil procedure with practical negotiation skills. Under the PRC Civil Code, inheritance is governed by the Book on Inheritance, which establishes two forms of succession: testate succession (by will) and intestate succession (by law). The statutory order of succession places the surviving spouse, children, and parents as first-priority heirs. A will may designate beneficiaries from outside the statutory heir class, but must reserve a necessary share for heirs who lack the capacity to work and have no source of income.

Dispute resolution in China encompasses negotiation, mediation, arbitration, and civil litigation. Zou Yu guides clients through procedural options, evidence preparation, and enforcement of awards or judgments across different forums.

Client Considerations

Client Considerations His practice encompasses both litigation and mediation, providing clients with flexible dispute resolution options tailored to their specific needs. Zou has earned the trust of numerous clients throughout Neijiang and the wider Sichuan region. Zou assists clients in preparing wills that comply with the formal requirements of the Civil Code, including holographic wills, notarized wills, and printed wills with witness signatures. His professional philosophy is to represent clients' viewpoints fully within legal and ethical boundaries, actively exercising all legally permissible means to achieve favorable outcomes. 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. Foreign individuals and companies typically need three workstreams in parallel: factual chronology, authority paperwork, and remedy selection. 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 Cross-Border Coordination for Zou YuI convert complex Chinese procedure into a dated checklist with owners for translation, notarization, and internal sign-off across time zones.

Foreign parties in Chinese disputes should preserve all evidence including contracts, payment records, and communications, and consider mediation as a cost-effective first step before arbitration or litigation.
