Nishimura & Asahi Taiwan Co-Representative: Ing-Chian Sun

Japan and Taiwan are important economic and trade partners. They have a long history of economic exchange, and enjoy a very close relationship. Especially in recent years, agreements such as the Japan-Taiwan Tax Agreement have further enhanced the sound environment for their mutual investment and economic exchange. Taiwan has a high degree of similarity with Japan in terms of values and legal systems, and is conveniently clustered by industry. Taiwan, which is geographically close to Southeast Asia, is a base for manufacturing, logistics, and R&D in Asia for an increasing number of Japanese companies, and such companies are strengthening their business alliances with Taiwanese companies as strategic partners in Asia.

We are the only leading law firm in Japan that has an office in Taiwan (Nishimura & Asahi Taiwan) and a Taiwan Practice Team consisting of Taiwanese lawyers, including Gaikokuho Jimu Bengoshi (foreign lawyers registered in Japan). We have developed an integrated system to provide legal services on direct investment in Taiwan by Japanese enterprises and investors, M&A and business alliances with Taiwanese enterprises, consultation on various legal issues and practice trends, as well as negotiation with the authorities in a direct and timely manner in Japanese, Taiwanese Mandarin, or English, with due consideration for the differences between the legal systems of Japan and Taiwan.
