By 1980, Tai E had flourished and its staff numbered over 200 professionals deployed in four offices to serve thousands of clients from every corner of the world. Tai E became one of the pioneering law firms that ushered Taiwan into the new world of intellectual property law. From then on, the Taiwan government has frequently consulted Tai E in various professional fields. Tai E also interacts closely with a great number of overseas associates to hone our international edge. Developing a sound international network of mutually beneficial working relationships has always been a top priority for Tai E.
Another milestone was passed in 2006 when Mr. Henry Chi-Heng Guei and Mr. Fred Chi-Tai Yen joined the managing team and became partners of the firm.

Tai E’s Global Vision
Being one of the pioneering law firms in the field of intellectual property protection in Taiwan, we at Tai E take pride in our firm’s long and successful history. From our beginnings in a society and economic environment where few people appreciated legal protection of inventors’ rights, we always had a clear vision of our purpose and the level of service we strive to offer our clients.
Throughout social and political upheaval, and now witnessing technological transformation of historic proportions, Tai E has grown from a "one-man practice" into a major international law firm. Today, we serve thousands of clients from every corner of the world. We are proud not only to have witnessed the reformation of lifestyle and systems in Taiwan, but we also have been, and always will continue to be, a part of successful innovation itself.
Of course, our firm has faced many obstacles, but two things remain the same, that is our welcome of change as an opportunity for innovation and our dedicated pursuit of professionalism, excellence and faithful service to our clients. Those are the core values we have continued to uphold since the foundation of our firm and, even with our sights firmly set on tackling future challenges, they will always inform every aspect of our work.
