About Us-History
New Louis & Charles was formed by the merger of the former "Louis & Charles Attorneys at Law" and the former "Far East Law Offices." The Chinese name remains "New Louis & Charles," and the English name continues to be "Louis & Charles Attorneys at Law."
The former "Louis & Charles Attorneys at Law" was established by Attorney Yu Bozhang in collaboration with legal professionals from "Louis International Patent Office," who have over 50 years of expertise in intellectual property. In addition to legal expertise and foreign language skills (including English, Japanese, Thai, and Vietnamese), they also possess specialized knowledge and practical experience in various fields such as mechanical engineering, electronic engineering, biotechnology, and accounting. In 2013, the firm became the sole designated member of Mackrell International in Taiwan, allowing it to integrate legal services among member countries and provide clients with global legal consultation and services in the shortest time and at reasonable costs. To establish a strategic alliance with the former "Far East Law Offices" (with the goal of eventual merger), the former "Louis & Charles Attorneys at Law" was renamed in 2014, with the English name "Louis & Charles Attorneys at Law." The primary services of the former "Louis & Charles Attorneys at Law" included the enforcement, dispute, and litigation of intellectual property rights (including patents, trademarks, and copyrights) domestically and internationally, rights protection (including global strategies), licensing and transfer, legal consultation, trade secret disputes, and advisory services related to the Fair Trade Act and its derivatives, litigation; legal planning and contract performance management dispute resolution for public-private partnership projects, government procurement law dispute resolution, procurement regulations, and related legal opinion consultation (including military procurement complaints and mediation cases, resolution of internal and external corporate legal disputes); and engineering legal disputes, labor laws and labor disputes, trusts, domestic and international corporate law, mergers and acquisitions, real estate transactions, private participation in public construction projects, tax and international trade dispute consultation and negotiation, among other areas.
The former "Far East Law Offices" was established in 1979 by Attorney Chiu Yawen and two co-founding lawyers. It has over 45 years of history and specializes in construction law, public-private partnership law, energy law, corporate law, banking law, tax law, financial securities law, IPO audit, international trade, administrative law, and labor law (including litigation, domestic and international arbitration such as ICC, and construction committee complaints and mediation).
The former "Louis & Charles Attorneys at Law" and the former "Far East Law Offices" officially merged in August 2024. The new firm's Chinese name is "New Louis & Charles," and its English name is "Louis & Charles Attorneys at Law."
