Chen & Lin provides advices to our clients with regard to the preferred form of doing business in Taiwan (such as sole proprietorship, partnership or company), the appropriate shareholding structure (such as planning of shareholding ratio, technical stock, employees’ stock dividend and bonus shares) in order to maintain their operation control (such as through arrangement of the directors’ and supervisors’ seats and management team), and to fairly distribute their profits (including compensation of directors, supervisors and managers, shareholders’ equity and employees’ benefits). Chen & Lin also assists our clients with regard to hostile take over and merger and acquisition matters.
