Established in 1990, Jones Day's Taipei Office grew from one attorney—Partner-in-Charge Jack Huang, who began as a partner in the New York Office—to 30 lawyers today.  Taipei was the third Jones Day office to open in Asia, after Tokyo and Hong Kong, and initially focused on providing corporate counseling to Taiwanese businesses in cross-border investments and mergers and acquisitions.  Today, our practices include M&A, banking and finance, litigation and arbitration, capital markets, and intellectual property, all of which are consistently ranked in the top-tier by Chambers & Partners, the Legal 500, and Asia law.

The Taipei Office is the only worldwide partnership in Taiwan that has attorneys experienced and legally qualified in both U.S. and Taiwan law.  Because of the Firm’s seamless “One Firm Worldwide” platform, lawyers in Taipei work side by side, as part of efficiently integrated teams, with the Firm’s 2,500 attorneys in 32 offices throughout North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and the Middle East.  Our Asia network numbers more than 200 lawyers and includes two offices in Mainland China (Beijing and Shanghai), Hong Kong, Tokyo, and Singapore.

The Firm is committed to Taiwan.  Public service is an essential part of the life of our office and, since its inception, our Taipei attorneys consistently have been involved in the community.  We are engaged in pro bono activities on behalf of the rights of children, young adults, and the disadvantaged.  Our attorneys often undertake teaching and research projects with universities and institutions in Taiwan, make reform recommendations to the government relating to law and policy, and participate in various bar and other professional associations.
