Confirm the lawyer and firm, conflicts process, engagement entity and written retainer.

06 · Longer orientation
Move from a commercial event to the legal questions that should be researched, documented and taken to counsel. A decision aid—not legal advice.
Choose your starting point
Route I · Invest
Investment planning starts with what the business will do in Wuxi, where the activity sits, who will control it, and the documentary route needed to establish and fund the operation. The legal form should follow that commercial brief.
01What activity, sector and operating footprint are proposed?
02Which entity, shareholder, capital and governance decisions need to be made?
03Which local implementation points affect the timetable and documentation?
Route II · Operate
Once operations begin, legal questions rarely stay inside one box. Contracts can engage customs, staff, finance, information controls and intellectual-property ownership. Identify the operating event, then map the linked national and Wuxi implementation obligations.
01Which contracts, employees, data sets and rights are central to the operating model?
02Which customs, foreign-exchange, tax or licensing issues need early review?
03Who owns the decision record, key documents and implementation timetable?
Route III · Resolve
A dispute route depends on the agreement, parties, underlying claim, evidence and procedural setting. Courts and arbitration forums relevant to Wuxi are orientation points, not automatic answers.
01What does the dispute clause say about forum, law, language and process?
02What evidence, notices and deadlines should be preserved now?
03Is the immediate objective performance, payment, interim protection, settlement or enforcement?
Capture the commercial objective, proposed legal route, documents in hand, open assumptions and decision owner. A defined brief makes the first counsel conversation more useful.
