01 — The Firm

A boutique firm defined by international depth

ANLI is a boutique law firm rooted in Taiwan with a global outlook. We hold that genuine internationalism is not a matter of language alone, but of deep fluency across jurisdictions, business cultures, and the logic of dispute.

Led by Dr. Chia-Ling Yang — trained at Berkeley, Stanford, and National Taiwan University — the firm unites academic rigor with practical acuity, delivering complete and dependable counsel across cross-border transactions, disputes, and governance.

01

Judgment ahead of the problem

The real value of legal work usually lies before the dispute. We invest in identifying risk early and designing structures, so that clients never have to make urgent decisions at the worst moment.

02

One standard across jurisdictions

Taipei, California, or Beijing — procedure and logic differ, but the rigour a client receives should not. We apply a single exacting standard to documents and strategy in every jurisdiction.

03

The principal stays on the file

ANLI is a boutique practice; we do not compete on headcount. On every engagement the principal holds the key judgments — clients never meet an unfamiliar face midway through a matter.
