The Shenzhen Foreign Law Ascertainment Center, led by the Qianhai Authority, on Nov. 1 unveiled an artificial intelligence-powered legal navigation tool designed to support companies in Shenzhen and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area with overseas expansion.
The new AI navigator allows users to submit queries in both Chinese and English, breaking down technical barriers for non-lawyers to access foreign legal information. It delivers transparent and traceable responses by generating bilingual search reports, providing direct links to official legal sources, and offering professional interpretations drawn from its comprehensive legal database.
The navigator’s database integrates laws and regulations from 94 countries and regions, covering major trade and investment destinations and meeting the legal-query needs of cross-border businesses across a variety of scenarios.
For enterprises, the navigator reduces cross-border compliance costs. Users can obtain accurate legal references for multiple countries independently, without always relying on overseas lawyers or specialist firms, thus saving both time and legal fees. By combining authoritative source texts with expert interpretations, the system provides reliable support for critical decisions, such as overseas investments and trade partnerships, and significantly improves companies’ risk-management capabilities.
The navigator is available on the Shenzhen International Business e-Station homepage (www.qhqie.com) under the “Go Global” panel. It is tightly integrated with news updates, official notices, and a case library to deliver a one-stop, consolidated legal service experience.
The launch marks a new, smarter phase for Shenzhen’s foreign-related legal services platform. The system will continue to be iterated and expanded — both in legal coverage and usage scenarios — to offer faster, more intelligent legal support for enterprises as they go global.
