Process, issues, and further reading
Financial services orientation
- Map the regulated activity: payments, lending, wealth, banking services, or pure tech.
- Entity and licence strategy — a WFOE alone is often not enough.
- Consumer finance and online lending rules; marketing restrictions.
- Data, KYC, and cybersecurity overlays for financial data.
- Contract and dispute design with PRC enforceability in mind.
Key PRC sources (illustrative)
- Law of the PRC on Commercial Banks / banking supervision rules — deposit-taking and bank services perimeter.
- Anti-Money Laundering Law of the PRC (rev. 2024) — KYC, reporting, and institutional duties.
- Cybersecurity Law / Personal Information Protection Law — financial data and critical information systems.
- PBOC / NFRA (former CBIRC) rules on non-bank payment institutions and consumer finance — licensing and marketing limits.
Consultation preparation
What to send before speaking with counsel
A focused first message helps a lawyer assess fit, urgency, conflicts, and likely next steps. Prepare:
- a short summary of the issue and the outcome you want;
- a dated timeline, including any filing, hearing, termination, or response deadline;
- the key contract, notice, correspondence, registration, or decision documents;
- the names and locations of the parties so the lawyer can check conflicts and jurisdiction; and
- your preferred working language and whether you need an initial budget or fee estimate.
Do not send originals or unnecessary sensitive data before engagement terms and a secure document channel are confirmed.

FAQ
Common questions
Do I need a payment licence to collect in China?
Many models require payment or related licences; structure, entity, and partner banks matter. Do not assume a WFOE alone is enough.
Do these lawyers work with foreign clients?
Many listed counsel assist foreign businesses and individuals. Check languages on each profile and request an English consultation when available.
What does a free initial intake cover?
Usually a short case assessment, whether China is the right jurisdiction, and practical next steps. It is not full representation; terms vary by lawyer.
