01 Starting point
Keep the context you already built
Carry forward the useful context from the guide, directory, or city page before entering the secure enquiry.
This companion helps you organise a concise first conversation. It does not replace the existing intake, consent, conflict, privacy, or engagement process.

Matter / stage / city context
Prepare only high-level labels for merger, conduct, dominance or inquiry—without uploading deal models or chat exports.Next step
Existing guided secure enquiry
The handoff opens the established enquiry experience with route context only. Your checklist selections do not transfer.02 Prepare
Choose where you are in the process
Choose the high-level stage that best describes your situation. The prompts then show what can be prepared safely without entering a confidential matter history.
These choices help frame an initial professional conversation. They do not assess suitability, urgency, legal merits, or lawyer availability.
Deal or policy planning
Name the matter type in general terms—without attaching models or strategy memos.
✓ A high-level route frame is different from a legal conclusion or a document review.
03 Briefing checklist
Prepare only high-level context
Prepare the basic facts that can be stated safely at a high level.
Use the checklist as a private prompt for yourself. Your selections are not stored, submitted, or transmitted by this companion.

05 Secure handoff
Continue to the existing secure enquiry
When ready, open the existing guided enquiry with only the Antitrust and Competition route context attached.
The existing intake should present its own consent, privacy, conflict, scope, and secure contact process. This companion does not bypass those controls.

07 Common questions
Before you continue
Common questions before moving into the secure enquiry process.
Does this readiness companion send my selections to China Legal Portal or a lawyer?
No. The controls operate in the current browser view only. The handoff link carries only its controlled route context, not selected fields, documents, contact details, or a narrative.
Can I upload deal models or chat exports here?
No. The companion is intentionally limited to high-level preparation. Do not upload confidential competition material until a secure channel and engagement scope are confirmed.
Does opening the guided enquiry create a lawyer-client relationship?
No. The existing enquiry route should present its own consent, conflict, scope, and engagement boundaries. A route selection or enquiry does not establish representation.
