Following the last interview with STARTBOARD, the Louis Group is honored to have the second visit from Industry, Science and Technology International Strategy Center (ISTI) of Industrial Technology Research Institute.
Louis & Partners is a branch office of the Louis Group in Bangkok, Thailand, which is the first Chinese legal advisory firm from Taiwan established in Thailand. It has four Thai lawyers who are fluent in Chinese. Louis & Partners provides complete one-stop solutions for Taiwanese businessmen, officially starting service from May 2019.
The following is partial contents of the interview with attorney Raymond Yu:
- The origin of Louis & Partners
Attorney Raymond Yu said that Taiwan is currently the fourth largest investor in Thailand and countless Taiwanese travel to Thailand every year. However, once a dispute or an accident occurs in Thailand, it could be said that there was no way to ask for help. Scams commonly happened because of eager for help. The main reasons for Taiwanese to be scammed frequently are language barriers, cultural differences, undisclosed information, and lack of familiarity with the local environment. Attorney Raymond Yu noted that there was no legal platform in Chinese in Thailand that could directly interface with in the past, and the assistance provided by diplomacy was insufficient. In addition, cross-border information transmission was inherently difficult, and legal resources in Taiwan could not be provided in a timely and effective manner. In view of this, Louis & Partners, based in Bangkok was born.
- Current and Future Service of Louis & Partners
People usually think of lawsuits when they hear of a law firm, but in fact, litigation is not always the best way to resolve most disputes. Attorney Raymond Yu mentioned that a good legal consultant would be able to solve problems without entering the court. It is usually a more effective and cost-saving way to resolve disputes through negotiation and coordination, especially in business occasions. Laws and regulations are different from countries to countries. Thus, negotiation and coordination based on legal issues in Thailand are ideally performed or assisted by natives of the legal profession. Therefore, the legal team of Louis & Partners is composed of four Thai attorneys with a Taiwanese manager, integrating the expertise of Thai legal professionals and management experience of the manager to provide a complete one-stop solution for Taiwanese businessmen.
Louis & Partners provides one-stop legal services, including BOI applications, work visas, legal counsel, business negotiations, as well as civil, criminal proceedings, prison visits, etc., for enterprises, SMEs, start-ups, and individuals. (Attorney Raymond Yu’s article on prison visits in Thailand could be found at https://www.louisconsultants.com/case-practice/interview-with-the-defendant-and-the-law-enforcement-practice-in-thai-prison-2/)
Fraud, drug dealing, and financial disputes that are common in Thailand are one of the important services provided by Louis & Partners. Intellectual property cases are also the main business of Louis Consulting Thailand. Louis International Patent and Trademark Office of the Louis Group has a history of 47 years and more than 130 professionals of the office are dedicated to handling tasks assigned by clients.
- The Principle of Louis & Partners
Attorney Raymond Yu believes that the success of Louis & Partners lies in strong executive power, the attitude of being kind and no fear of new problems.
The team of Louis & Partners keeps solving problems and moving forward.
