Lawyer Verification Policy

This policy explains listing tiers for lawyers in mainland China. It works together with our Listing Standards page.

Last updated: 1 August 2026 · China Law List Editorial

Who can be listed

Profiles are for lawyers based in mainland China who practise mainland China law. Listing is not a guarantee of quality, outcome, or availability.

Listing tiers

Listed — profile published from available information; may be incomplete.
Claimed — a person associated with the profile has asserted control (e.g. account claim / confirmed email).
Verified — China Law List has checked credentials appropriate to the route (e.g. PRC practice credentials or PRC practice credentials or firm confirmation) under our current process.
Featured / Preferred — commercial placement that may improve visibility; never a substitute for verification.

Evidence we may use

Depending on tier: official lawyer directories, firm website confirmation, bar numbers, government or regulator pages, identity and email domain checks, and re-verification over time. We may request documents from the lawyer or firm.

What “Verified” does not mean

Verification is not an endorsement, ranking of skill, or warranty. It does not mean China Law List has supervised the lawyer’s work or resolved conflicts checks for your matter.

Mainland China directory

Public profiles focus on lawyers based in mainland China who practise mainland China law. Profile information should be stated accurately and kept current.

Corrections and removal

Lawyers and firms may request corrections or delisting via Contact. We may unpublish profiles that are misleading, infringing, or fail re-verification.
