Verifiable Trust Network

Find Trusted Overseas Counsel for China's Cross-Border Projects

CounselPort is not a public directory. It is a trust network that helps lawyers identify, verify, and connect with suitable overseas counsel.

Four Layers of Trust Signals

Verified

Verified Identity

Cross-checks against bar registries, firm domains, and public legal directories.

Verified

China Experience

Signals from China desks, cross-border Asia experience, and past client engagements.

Verified

Relationship Path

Referrals by senior counsel and traceable collaboration history.

Verified

Process Integrity

End-to-end workflow from intent confirmation through conflict checks, fee feedback, and formal introduction.

Two Service Tracks

Counsel Panel

Receive 3–6 matched overseas counsel profiles with explainable scoring and trust signals.

Senior Referral

A senior counsel reviews, recommends, and validates candidates, strengthening the relationship path.

Client Name Protection

Client names never appear in emails. They are disclosed only after a counsel expresses interest, on a secure conflict-check page.

Pre-authorization Pricing

Service fees are collected only after at least one valid introduction is delivered; pre-authorized funds are released upon feedback completion.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from a lawyer directory?

CounselPort is not a directory. Every candidate is scored on identity, China experience, relationship path, and process integrity before being recommended.

When do you charge?

Only after at least one counsel completes conflict checks, provides fee information, and a formal introduction is sent. No valid introduction means no charge.
