One of Jones Day's biggest selling points in Taiwan is its international network: "One of the firm's strengths is their ability to call in assistance from a number of foreign countries due to the many Jones Day offices around the world," says one client.
However the firm can also call upon a strong local practice. Managing partner Jack JT Huang "sets milestones in M&A deals," according to one peer. As one of the best M&A lawyers in Taiwan, according to clients, Huang is referred to by peers as the "dean of M&A".
Clients also gave special praise for Louis Liu and Tommy Chen because "they are knowledgeable with great communication skills" and because "they are able to provide commentary on a variety of legal matters".
One deal highlight last year saw the team advice TSRC in its $168 million acquisition of Dexco Polymers, a joint venture between Dow Chemical and ExxonMobil Chemical.
In March 2011 the firm led by star partner Chung-Ping Liu represented Tatung Company in connection with its $ 150 million proposed offering of European convertible bonds.
Another high profile role saw firm engaged by parties for Tawian aspects of the Lehman Brothers Holdings liquidation. Due to the bankruptcy of the Lehman Brothers there is still a large amount of anticipated litigation, insolvency, commercial and real estate related issues that need resolving.
