Lawyer Fan Zhang’s Team Secures Victory in Cross-Border Trade Dispute Between Hong Kong and Korean Companies
On October 11, 2024, Lawyer Fan Zhang and her legal team achieved a significant victory in an international trade dispute between a Hong Kong enterprise and a Korean company.
The Suwon District Court Seongnam Branch (수원지방법원 성남지원) in South Korea rendered a judgment fully supporting the plaintiff’s claims and ordered the defendant to pay overdue payments totaling tens of millions of RMB, which had been outstanding for over six years.
This landmark decision not only effectively safeguarded the legitimate rights and interests of the Hong Kong company but also underscored Fan Zhang’s team’s professional expertise and robust experience in handling complex cross-border litigation cases.
Case Overview
The dispute arose from a long-term trade relationship involving substantial shipments of goods over several years.
Despite repeated demands, the Korean company had failed to settle its outstanding trade debts, prompting the Hong Kong company to pursue legal action abroad.
After thorough preparation and strategic litigation planning, Fan Zhang’s team successfully argued the case before the South Korean court, overcoming jurisdictional challenges, evidentiary hurdles, and cross-border enforcement complexities.
The court’s judgment in favor of the Hong Kong enterprise marks a critical win in the enforcement of international trade rights and highlights the effectiveness of well-executed cross-border dispute resolution strategies.
Demonstrating Strength in International Trade Law
“Achieving a favorable outcome in a foreign jurisdiction requires not only a deep understanding of international trade law but also practical experience in navigating different legal systems,” said Lawyer Fan Zhang.
“We are committed to continuing to protect our clients’ interests in the global marketplace.”
This success highlights the capabilities of Lawyer Fan Zhang and her team in managing international trade disputes, cross-border debt recovery, and foreign judgment enforcement proceedings.
