Consultation preparation

What to send before speaking with counsel

A focused first message helps a lawyer assess fit, urgency, conflicts, and likely next steps. Prepare:

  • a short summary of the issue and the outcome you want;
  • a dated timeline, including any filing, hearing, termination, or response deadline;
  • the key contract, notice, correspondence, registration, or decision documents;
  • the names and locations of the parties so the lawyer can check conflicts and jurisdiction; and
  • your preferred working language and whether you need an initial budget or fee estimate.

Do not send originals or unnecessary sensitive data before engagement terms and a secure document channel are confirmed.

Registration/pathway and promotion rules are separate workstreams — map both before China launch or KOL campaigns.
Do these lawyers work with foreign clients?
Many listed counsel assist foreign businesses and individuals. Check languages on each profile and request an English consultation when available.
What does a free initial intake cover?
