Administrative Reconsideration

We advise and represent clients throughout administrative reconsideration procedures—a formal, non-judicial mechanism under Chinese law to challenge governmental actions. Our services help both domestic and international clients evaluate risks, prepare submissions, and navigate hearings, with an eye toward potential litigation if needed.

Legal assessment and risk analysis

We conduct legal reviews of the administrative act in question, assessing its legality and proportionality, and advising on whether to initiate reconsideration.

Filing reconsideration applications

We prepare and submit reconsideration requests, articulating legal and factual grounds to challenge administrative decisions and compiling supporting documentation.

Hearing participation and legal advocacy

We prepare clients for reconsideration hearings, deliver legal arguments, and seek outcomes such as revocation, amendment, or a declaration of illegality.

Government information disclosure disputes

We represent clients in administrative reconsideration cases arising from government agencies’ failure to fulfill disclosure obligations, including unjustified refusals, inadequate or misleading content, or failure to respond in a timely and proper manner.

Strategy for transition to litigation

If the reconsideration outcome is unsatisfactory, we help clients develop litigation strategies, reserve critical evidence, and plan for subsequent court proceedings.
