Due to an international sale of goods contract dispute with an Argentinian company, an import and export company which is a member enterprise of Shantou Import and Export Chamber of Commerce, entrusts Guangdong Fengyue Law Firm as an agent, to recover the long overdue payment from the Argentinian company through non-litigation mediation or litigation.

Upon acceptance of the entrustment, the Law Firm appoints Gu Junfeng, a foreign-related lawyer who is also the Director of the Foreign-related Professional Committee of Shantou Lawyers Association, to handle this case, and Lawyer Zhang Xiang, a foreign-related assistant, to assist in handling the case. After many times of communication by phones, emails with the company in Argentina, even sending Lawyer’s Letter, the Argentinian company still refuses to pay. After considering freign-related team's opinions, Lawyer Gu, representing the Shantou company, decides to apply for arbitration to the South Sub-Commission of China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission, according to the term of dispute resolution in the sales contract. The case will be heard in Shenzhen recently.

The Law Firm has a number of lawyers who have studied in law schools in the United States, the UK, Australia and the Netherlands, as well as lawyers with long working experience abroad. We also have a number of young foreign-related legal assistants. Since the financial crisis, they have handled many foreign-related cases for companies who are members of the Shantou Import and Export Chamber of Commerce and East Guangdong Import and Export Chamber of Commerce. At the same time, we solve problems for import and export enterprises in Shantou, Jieyang and Chaozhou, by introducing knowledge of foreign-related laws and regulations, international law and conventions, and foreign-related cases on journals of the Import and Export Chamber of Commerce, holding lectures on foreign-related laws, visiting the import and export enterprises with the secretariat of the Chamber of Commerce, providing legal consultation, serving as legal adviser to foreign-related enterprises, and participating in foreign-related negotiations. In order to communicate and learn cases, to introduce gains and losses, right and wrong, experience and lessons in foreign-related legal disputes to the people in need, the Law Firm also broadcast "Successful cases" on the Chinese and English websites of Guangdong Fengyue Law Firm (www.fengyuelawyer.com), under the principle of respecting and keeping the client's business secrets.

In the new period, the demand for foreign-related lawyers in Shantou becomes more urgent, and the market demands for the quality and service mode of foreign-related lawyers are more stringent and diversified. Foreign-related legal services are not limited to traditional foreign litigation cases. "The Belt and Road", "Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area", International City Construction, the Guangdong Provincial deputy central city positioning, Shantou enterprises "going out" and "bringing in", Investment Cooperation, and many local and government level foreign-related legal service demands, not only embody and reflect the market and social demand for foreign-related lawyers and experts, but also expose the short slab of foreign-related legal services in Shantou. Guangdong Fengyue Law Firm, as a legal service institution which has gathered lots of foreign-related lawyers in Eastern Guangdong, is duty-bound to promote the internationalization of Shantou and to create "more law-based, international and convenient" business environment for Shantou. Fengyue will try its best to contribute for Shantou‘s re-rise in the new period.

At present, the Law Firm self-examines the insufficient management, inadequate publicity, and insufficient personnel mobilization, and will adopt a comprehensive governance method of "building consensus, constructing advantages, reinforcing learning, not to stick to one pattern, priority for mighty ones, task oriented, filtering water, introducing new lawyers, and cultivating reserve", to integrate foreign-related resources, in order to meet the growing needs and increasing market requirements. At the same time, combining with the "third five-year work plan" of the Law Firm, Fengyue will carefully plan and implement the construction object of the Law Firm: "a comprehensive Law Firm focusing on non-litigation and foreign-related legal affairs", as proposed at the beginning of the establishment of the Law Firm.
