Banking and finance legal advisory

Banking and financial cases not only take emphasis on providing legal advisory services, but are also closely related to accounting, financial and taxation issues. Our firm’s primary advantage comes from its intimate cooperation with PwC. Since our professionals collaborate with PwC Taiwan on a long term basis, we are capable of integrating cases effectively. Furthermore, while providing legal advisory services, we may duly remind our clients of the relevant accounting, financial and taxation risks presented, and offer various resolutions thereof. Aside from providing comprehensive or pay-once specialized consulting services in all kinds of banking and financial cases, our firm offers solutions to our clients that are complete, efficient and precise.
