Youxing Zhou is a lawyer at Chongqing Junce Law Firm in the Jiangjin District of Chongqing. His practice covers real property law, criminal defense, marriage and family law, workplace injury compensation, debt recovery, and contract disputes.

Attorney Zhou has particular expertise in commercial leasing matters, advising both landlords and tenants on lease agreement drafting, negotiation, and dispute resolution under Chinese law. The PRC Civil Code governs lease relationships in Book on Contracts, covering residential and commercial leases. Commercial leases in China typically involve longer terms than residential leases, often ranging from three to twenty years. Under the Civil Code, a lease term may not exceed twenty years; any term exceeding twenty years is reduced to twenty years. However, the parties may renew the lease upon expiration for another term not exceeding twenty years.

Attorney Zhou handles lease disputes including rent arrears, early termination, property damage claims, and subleasing conflicts. Under Chinese law, a tenant must generally obtain the landlord's consent before subleasing the property. If the tenant subleases without consent, the landlord may terminate the lease. However, subleases of which the landlord was aware but did not object within six months are deemed valid. Attorney Zhou advises foreign companies on commercial lease arrangements in China, addressing key issues such as lease registration requirements, rental deposit protections, renewal rights, and force majeure provisions under PRC law. Lease registration with the local housing authority is required for commercial leases, and unregistered leases may not be enforceable against third parties.

In criminal defense, Attorney Zhou handles cases from investigation through trial, including economic crimes, violent offenses, and drug-related matters. His family law practice covers divorce, property division, child custody, and inheritance matters under the Civil Code. He also represents clients in workplace injury compensation claims, helping injured workers navigate the work-related injury determination process and pursue full compensation under Chinese labor law. Attorney Zhou serves clients throughout Chongqing with comprehensive and practical legal services.

Property Transaction Controls — Youxing Zhou

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.

• ⚖️ Written scope and remedy map
• 📜 Bilingual document control
• 🛡️ Deadline and limitation tracking
• 💼 Enforcement and settlement options in parallel
