On 2 June 2026, Dandan Fei joined a working session between the Greater Bay Area Liaison Office of the Chinese Society of Behavioral Law and Tengyue Construction Technology Group. Fei, Deputy Director of the Liaison Office and a partner at Guantao's Shenzhen office, discussed legal risk in domestic and overseas construction projects, construction disputes and the treatment of existing assets.
Risk across domestic and overseas projects
Tengyue representatives outlined the group's work in construction management, general contracting and supply-chain coordination. As the business moves beyond internal group projects into market-based operations and overseas markets including Malaysia and parts of Africa, contract administration, project performance, final accounts, receivables and cross-border adviser coordination have become more prominent.
Fei and Zheng Zhifan, Executive Partner of Guantao's Shenzhen office, drew on their experience in cross-border work, construction disputes and asset revitalisation. The discussion covered licensing, employment and tax compliance, performance security, delay and quality claims, dispute-resolution clauses and the allocation of responsibility between Chinese and local counsel.
Participants and the working session
Embedding legal work in delivery and asset treatment
The parties also considered the disposal of existing assets, construction receivables, coordination across upstream and downstream parties and access to restructuring expertise. They noted that construction risk runs through project selection, contract performance, final accounts, asset treatment, overseas operations and dispute resolution, rather than arising only when litigation begins.
Further discussions may address focused legal reviews of major projects, receivables and asset treatment, cross-border adviser coordination and legal-service collaboration in the Greater Bay Area.
