03 preparation stages 05 briefing prompts ER–EL 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

Employment guide or counsel directory

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

Briefing scope

Workforce / employer–worker context

Prepare only a high-level description of the role, parties’ positions, city and event type—without personnel files or confidential chronology.

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 a hire or onboarding step

Use a high-level role, employer position, city, and timing frame—without attaching CVs, IDs, or offer documents.

✓ 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 role or workplace topic in plain, non-sensitive language. Example: hiring, contract terms, working time, leave, performance process, or separation planning—not health, grievance, or investigation detail. I can state whether this is from an employer, employee, or group/HR perspective. Use roles only; do not provide names, ID numbers, payroll identifiers, or contact details. I can identify the employment city or location context. A city or workplace market is enough; do not provide home addresses, dormitory details, or site plans. I can name the timing in general terms. Use hiring window, ongoing issue, notice period, or planning stage; do not upload schedules, notices, or deadline evidence. I can name the main question to organise for a first conversation. For example: contract form, onboarding, change process, separation readiness, or local procedure questions.

05 Secure handoff

Continue to the existing secure enquiry

When ready, open the existing guided enquiry with only the Employment & Labor 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 use this page to submit employee records or explain a confidential workplace dispute?

No. The companion is intentionally limited to high-level preparation. Do not upload or paste confidential personnel 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.
