you must do your own home work to learn the basics of company formation, the pros and cons. Search local library, internet, and the website of The Ministry of Consumer and Business Services of Ontario (see the link). Your time and effort will pay off in a long term. It can be very costly to break up a bad business relationship.
You can not totally rely on a lawyer. A lawyer is the one you hired to work FOR you. In order to allow the lawyer to provide better legal services to you, you have to know exactly what you want. The more you know, the less and effective your lawyer's involvement will be, and the cheaper the costs.
I always felt that a Canadian lawyer is supposed to know Canadian laws better than a Chinese one. So, I've never tried a Chinese lawyer. This is entirely my personal preference, not a recommendation to your case.
