03 preparation stages 05 briefing prompts ER–BX preparation companion

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.

Starting point

Banking & FX guide or counsel directory

Keep the substantive banking guide and lawyer directory as the primary places for orientation and counsel discovery.

Briefing scope

Payments / FX / capital-control context

Prepare only a high-level description of the money-movement topic, entity role, city and timing—without account numbers or transaction evidence.

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.

Current stage

Planning accounts, payments or FX access

Use a high-level operating need, entity role, and timing frame—without bank forms or KYC packs.

✓ 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.

I can describe the banking or FX topic in plain, non-sensitive language. Example: account opening, cross-border payment, FX conversion, or capital outflow orientation—not amounts, account data, or compliance packs. I can state the high-level company or treasury role. Use roles only; do not provide company registration numbers, bank account numbers, or personal identifiers. I can identify the relevant city or banking market. A city or bank market is enough; do not provide branch addresses or relationship-manager contact details. I can name the timing in general terms. Use planning, pending payment, or review stage; do not upload payment schedules or bank notices. I can name the main question to organise for a first conversation. For example: account access, FX route, documentation expectations, or review/hold response planning.

05 Secure handoff

Continue to the existing secure enquiry

When ready, open the existing guided enquiry with only the Banking & Financial Services route context attached.

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 use this page to submit documents or explain a confidential issue?

No. The companion is intentionally limited to high-level preparation. Do not upload or paste confidential material until a secure channel, engagement scope, and appropriate professional process 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.
