Lee and Li, Attorneys-at-Law

Our History

The beginnings of Lee and Li can be traced to Shanghai in the 1940s, where James Lee and Dr. C. N. Li, the two founders, practiced transnational law. In 1953, James Lee opened a firm in Taipei and in 1965 he was joined by Dr. C. N. Li, at which point the firm began operating under the English name “Lee and Li, Attorneys-at-Law.” Then in 1970, the firm was formally named “理律法律事務所” in Chinese. Lee and Li is now the oldest and largest law firm in Taiwan and is highly sought after by clients worldwide for its comprehensive and premium legal services.
