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.
