Zou Yu is an experienced Chinese lawyer at Sichuan Puyou Law Firm in Neijiang, Sichuan Province. He specializes in matrimonial and family inheritance cases, construction and real estate disputes, property rights disputes, and contract-based disputes. His practice encompasses both litigation and mediation, providing clients with flexible dispute resolution options tailored to their specific needs.

With extensive litigation experience and sophisticated advocacy skills, Mr. Zou has earned the trust of numerous clients throughout Neijiang and the wider Sichuan region. 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. 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. Mr. 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 construction contract practice involves payment claims, project delays, and quality issues. Construction contract disputes in China often involve complex legal and factual issues requiring careful analysis of contracts, project documentation, and applicable regulations. Mr. Zou represents contractors, subcontractors, and project owners in construction litigation and arbitration before Sichuan courts and arbitration institutions. His property rights cases cover land use rights disputes, real estate ownership disputes, and boundary conflicts.

In mediation, Mr. Zou serves as a skilled neutral facilitator, helping parties reach mutually acceptable resolutions without the need for protracted litigation. 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. Mr. Zou's approach combines deep knowledge of Chinese civil procedure with practical negotiation skills. His professional philosophy is to represent clients' viewpoints fully within legal and ethical boundaries, actively exercising all legally permissible means to achieve favorable outcomes.

Dispute File Architecture — Zou Yu

I plan enforcement first—assets, licenses, receivables, and interim measures—so strategy is not limited to winning on paper.

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. I keep those streams visible in status notes so headquarters can decide without re-reading the entire file. Where local counterparties rely on relationship pressure, I re-anchor discussions to contract text, statutory rights, and verifiable performance records. Fee arrangements, conflict checks, and confidentiality boundaries are confirmed before substantive drafting or filings begin. After key milestones I deliver a short handover: decisions made, open conditions, filing receipts, and calendar items for renewals or enforcement. This operating rhythm reduces repeat disputes and keeps institutional knowledge with the client rather than trapped in chat history.
