Dr. Chung-Teh Lee and Jaclyn Tsai, after serving as judges and practicing law for an extended period, envisioned the establishment of a law firm that combines professionalism with compassion. Thus, adhering to the professional philosophy of "reason" and "compassion," Lee, Tsai & Partners was founded in Taipei in 1998. The firm is dedicated to delivering the highest quality professional services to clients through a comprehensive understanding of various industries while actively contributing to society.
Due to our commitment to professional principles, within two years of its establishment, Lee, Tsai & Partners rapidly transformed from a firm with just over ten employees into one of the top ten law firms in Taiwan. Our team not only includes the law firm but also encompasses intellectual property and investment consulting companies, and our overall scale continues to grow. In July 2001, we established an office in Shanghai to assist multinational companies and Taiwanese enterprises in investing in Mainland China.
To uphold our unwavering commitment to clients and meet the increasing demand for legal expertise arising from the strengthening economic relations between the international community and Taiwan, we established an office in Beijing in July 2010. The objective of the Beijing office is to assist multinational companies in expanding their operations within the increasingly integrated economy of the Greater China region and to support mainland Chinese enterprises in investing in key projects in Taiwan.
