Insurance and Re-Insurance

Our team in this practice is strong and ambitious. Our style of work is precise and clear. We give clean cut advise on whether a claim should be paid or not. In the event the claim is hopeless to pursue, we tell our clients straightaway. If not, we build up the case with strong merits so that our clients can be rest assured when they rely on our opinion. Clients do not want typical legal advice using the same old typical legalistic approach. Clients want advice that makes commercial sense to them. This is especially for insurance and re-insurance matters where clients are also under some degree of pressure trying to harmonize with either their assureds (who in turn are also clients) or their re-insurers (who are working partners in the industry). What we do best at JTJB-Taipei, is to achieve the desired objectives of our clients in the most efficiently and diplomatic way
