Established in 2011, the Taipei office is Kilpatrick Townsend's first office in Greater China and its second office in Asia. The expanding Asian market and the newly-implemented free trade agreement between Taiwan and China present new opportunities for the firm as Kilpatrick Townsend looks to continue its growth in Asia. Led by partner Glenn Rhodes, a patent law attorney and member of the Taipei Bar Association, the Taipei office is heavily utilized by Kilpatrick Townsend attorneys advising both Asia-based clients doing business in the U.S. and abroad and U.S. clients with interests throughout Greater China. Our Taipei attorneys, as well as members of our Asia Business Services team throughout the firm, have decades of experience working with Asian companies as well as companies contemplating expansion into Asian markets in a variety of industries, including pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, telecommunications, computers and electronics, manufacturing, consumer products, financial services and healthcare. We have extensive experience counseling clients in connection with intellectual property protection and strategy, licensing, joint ventures, strategic alliances, commercial contracts, mergers and acquisitions, commercial litigation, alternative dispute resolution, business, finance, tax and technology. The legal, educational, linguistic and cultural diversity of this teamallows our attorneys to assist clients in both planning and execution.
