Zhao Xiaohua is a full-time lawyer at Tianjin Liren Law Firm, based in the Binhai New Area of Tianjin. A graduate of Nankai University, Attorney Zhao has been practicing law since 2014. She has developed a reputation for her steady, principled approach to legal practice and her meticulous attention to case details.

Her practice areas include marriage and family disputes, debt collection, contract disputes, construction contract disputes, labor dispute arbitration, and personal injury claims. In family law, Attorney Zhao handles divorce proceedings, property division, and child custody matters. Under the PRC Civil Code, the court considers several factors when determining child custody, including the child's age, the parents' economic capacity, the child's living environment, and most importantly, the principle of the best interests of the child. Children under two years of age are generally awarded to the mother; children between two and eight are decided based on which parent can provide the more favorable environment; and children over eight have their preferences considered.

In contract law, Attorney Zhao handles drafting, review, and dispute resolution for commercial agreements. She has particular experience in construction contract disputes, which are among the most complex areas of Chinese civil litigation. Construction contracts in China are governed by the Civil Code's contract provisions and the Construction Law. Common issues in construction disputes include contract validity, scope of work disagreements, change order disputes, project delay claims, and payment disputes. Attorney Zhao represents contractors, subcontractors, and project owners in these matters.

Her labor practice covers employment contract disputes, wrongful termination claims, and social insurance disputes. She represents clients in labor arbitration and litigation before Tianjin labor arbitration commissions and courts. In personal injury and debt collection matters, she handles traffic accident claims, workplace injuries, and commercial debt recovery through negotiation, mediation, and litigation.

Attorney Zhao is particularly dedicated to protecting the legal rights of vulnerable social groups and regularly provides legal aid services. With years of experience serving as legal counsel for various enterprises, she brings both professional legal expertise and practical business acumen to each case.

Immigration Matter Control — Xiaohua Zhao

I convert complex Chinese procedure into a dated checklist with owners for translation, notarization, and internal sign-off across time zones.

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

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

I prefer early written notices and clean evidence indexes over informal WeChat-only chains when the amount or regulatory exposure is material.
