Lee and Li Attorneys at Law

The history of Lilly can be traced back to the 1940s. At that time, Li Zemin, one of the founders of Lee & Li, practiced together with two American lawyers in Shanghai, and the other founder, Li Chaonian, also practiced in Shanghai.

In 1953, Lawyer Li Zemin opened a firm in Taipei City, while Lawyer Li Chaonian joined in 1965 and practiced jointly with Lawyer Li Zemin, co-chairing the firm. After Mr. Li Zemin passed away in 1970, Mr. Li Chaonian officially named the firm "Lee and Li" for the sustainable operation of the firm. At that time, the number of employees in the firm was about 30, and it continued to undertake transnational legal affairs and intellectual property rights.

Building on the foundation laid by its predecessors, Lee & Li has grown to become the largest law firm in Taiwan. Lee & Li has abundant human resources, and its expertise covers various legal fields.
