Corporate Establishment

The Firm prides itself on providing clients with advice and foresight which will minimize the costs of operations in Taiwan, including costs associated with taxation, human resources and funding. It is not the practice of the Firm to simply provide a standard corporate establishment service. Rather, the corporate structure proposed to a client will take into consideration a whole range of legal and financial issues tailored to the needs of the client. Our experience has proven that this careful full-service approach proves to be the most economical approach.

Taxation
The Firm's taxation practice is focused on corporate tax planning. The members of the Firm have been particularly active in recent years in the area of tax planning relating to exit strategies involving direct equity investors in Taiwan. In addition a key component of all corporate establishment structures is taxation of operational income, including corporate income taxation, taxation of dividends and value added taxation on sales transactions.

Labor Law
The Firm's labor law practice quite frequently involves planning in connection with mergers and acquisitions, with particular attention to the provisions of Taiwan's Mergers and Acquisitions Law regarding application of the Taiwan Labor Standards Law in transactions under the M&A law.Hence the areas which are most frequently addressed relate to large scale severance issues and transfer of employees between enterprises. Members of this practice group stay abreast of regulatory developments in labor law and regulation and maintain close contacts with the labor regulatory agencies.
