Yes. Pretend like the opening bid didn't take place and play what you normally would over 2♣.
I hope it is "system on over a x, 2♣, and 3♣".

I play Systems On, including Lebensohl.
Dbl of 2C is Stayman. Dbl of RHO's other 2-level bis is whatever you have agreed Dbl to mean in your methods (penalty for many). For Lebensohl, any stopper promise/deny applies only to RHO's suit since 1NT overcall already promised the stopper in their opening suit (LHO's suit).

Yes, unless 2♣ is Lair. Then, systems on as if RHO bid Landy.

And we ask police officers, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and citizens to enforce or abide by it? The legislature continues to write unreadable statutes. Gibberish should not be enforced as law."

Phil, what is the advantage of playing systems on over 3♣ ?
I see you can have the 1nt bidder playing the hands and could show slam interest
after 1N (3C) 3H (P) 3S etc but you can't ever play in 3♦. Is this not important?

People still play 2C as natural here ?
Anyway to simplify things I think it's good to play system on.

There's an old post from Fred (really old!) that discusses this.
Suffice it to say, playing 3♦ and 3♥ as transfers showing at least an invite works really well. As does a double which is essentially takeout, but functions as Stayman.

+1 for that.
Martens even reccomends using transfers after 3♣ opening !
He also reccomends using transfers after 3H openings/overcall after 1NT (then dbl is transfer to spades and 3S is transfer to 3NT/stopper ask.
I wish one day I will form partnership with someone willing to play all those toys
