Baker McKenzie Taipei is pleased to announce that on 30 May 2025, it was awarded the Chambers & Partners Asia-Pacific and Greater China Region Award for "Taiwan Law Firm of the Year," marking a consecutive win for the second year. In the highly competitive landscape of Taiwan's legal services, this recognition underscores our firm's leadership in the market.
This award comes amidst our celebrations themed "Focus on the Future," making it even more meaningful for the Taipei office. Since opening our first office in Taipei in 1975, we have witnessed the complete trajectory of Taiwan's economic miracle — transitioning from manufacturing to technological innovation, and evolving from a domestic market to a major economy on the global stage.
20 years of accolades in Taiwan's legal sector
Over the past 20 years, Baker McKenzie Taipei has established an impressive record in international awards and law firm rankings. In the Chambers & Partners rankings, we have been awarded "Taiwan Law Firm of the Year" five times, achieving consecutive wins this year and last — a remarkable accomplishment in Taiwan's legal community. Additionally, we received the 2023 IFLR Asia Pacific Award for "National Law Firm of the Year" in Taiwan, further showcasing our expertise in cross-border financial transactions.
Notably, in The Legal 500's evaluation for 2025, Baker McKenzie received rankings in 125 practice areas and 239 individual recognitions globally, with 108 achieving Tier 1 and Tier 2 status. In the Greater China region, we secured 65 practice area rankings and 72 individual rankings, including 45 Tier 1 and Tier 2 ratings and 47 top honors.
The key to success: "Focus on the Future"
The success of Baker McKenzie Taipei is rooted in our unique strategy of "Focus on the Future." This approach reflects 50 years of our deep involvement in shaping Taiwan's legal landscape, enabling us to understand not only the nuances of local regulations but also the corporate culture and business practices of Taiwanese companies. From assisting foreign investments in establishing factories, to guiding Taiwanese tech firms in their international expansion, we have consistently been at the forefront of Taiwan's economic development.
Our global presence leverages Baker McKenzie's extensive network as the world's largest international law firm. With more than 70 offices across more than 40 locations, we provide truly borderless legal services. As Taiwan's leading tech companies venture into the global arena, we are their most trusted legal partner. Furthermore, when multinational corporations select Taiwan as a key location in Asia, we are their preferred advisers for market entry.
Driving the transformation of Taiwan's legal services
In the era of digital transformation, Baker McKenzie Taipei is actively engaged in emerging legal fields such as artificial intelligence, the digital economy, green finance and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) sustainability. We are not merely observers of these trends; we are key drivers for Taiwanese companies facing new challenges. From assisting businesses in the financial sector with fintech regulations compliance, to helping manufacturers establish ESG governance frameworks, we consistently provide forward-looking legal solutions to support Taiwan's industrial advancement.
Furthermore, on significant economic issues such as the US-Taiwan 21st Century Trade Initiative and the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) accession negotiations, Baker McKenzie has leveraged its extensive international experience and local insights to help Taiwanese companies and government sectors navigate the changing market landscape and seize opportunities, exemplifying the best practices of our "Focus on the Future" strategy.
Gratitude and vision: Collaborating to create a new landscape for Taiwan's legal services
Over the past 50 years, Baker McKenzie Taipei has evolved from a small foreign law office into Taiwan's most internationally influential legal service brand, thanks to the long-term trust of our clients and the professional dedication of our team. We have witnessed Taiwan's remarkable transition from a closed economy to a prominent tech hub and its transformation from manufacturing to innovation, and we are privileged to have played a role in this historic journey.
Looking ahead, Baker McKenzie Taipei will continue to uphold our core philosophy of "Focus on the Future," further deepening our expertise in emerging technology law, international trade regulations and sustainable governance. As Taiwan's role in the global supply chain becomes increasingly significant, we believe the legal services industry in Taiwan will encounter unprecedented opportunities for development.
This consecutive international award not only affirms Baker McKenzie but also symbolizes the overall enhancement of Taiwan's legal services' international competitiveness. We will leverage this recognition as a foundation to continue providing the highest quality legal services for Taiwanese companies expanding globally, and for international enterprises entering Taiwan, together ushering in a golden era for Taiwan's legal services.
