DEEP & FAR Attorneys-at-Law 13th F1., No. 27, Sec. 3, Chung San N. Rd. Taipei 104, Taiwan, R.O.C. Tel: +886-2-2585-6688 Fax: +886-2-25989900/25978989 email@deepnfar.com.tw Deep & Far was founded in 1992 and is one of the largest law firms in this country. The firm is presently focused on the practice in separate or in combination of all aspects of intellectual property rights (IPRs) including patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, unfair competition, and/or licensing, counseling, litigation and/ or transaction thereof. Since this firm edges itself into the IPRs field, the firm quickly comes to fame. As an illustration, this firm often is one of the largest sources from which foreign filing orders originate. The fascinating rise of this firm begins from the founder of Deep & Far attorneysat-law, C. F. Tsai, who is the one first patent practitioner in this country who both has technological and law backgrounds and is qualified as a local attorney-at-law. The patent attorneys and patent engineers in this firm normally hold outstanding and advanced degrees and are generally graduated from the top five universities in this country and/or the university in the US. Our prominent staffs are dedicated to provide the best quality service in IPRs. As a proof, about one half of top 100 incorporations in this country have experiences of seeking patented their techniques, but more than one fifth of the top 100 incorporations are/were clients of this firm. Furthermore, Hi-Tech companies in the science-based industrial park located at Hsin Chu play an important role in booming the economy of this country. About one half of which have experiences in seeking patented their techniques, and out of more than 60% of the patent-experienced companies in that park have ever entrusted their IPR works to this firm. We have experienced in seeking IPR-protections for our clients in more than 100 territories all over the world. We have thousands of IPR-cases respectively prosecuted before official Patent Offices of major industrialized countries. This firm not only is the most competent in IPR-related matters in this country but also is very familiar with IPR-practices in major industrialized countries. As a matter of fact, this firm oftentimes tries and makes precedents of new claim-drafting styles. While we might have become wonderfully famed locally with remarkable appreciation and respects, we would like to extend our services for internationalized or quality service-requiring foreign conglomerated giants, corporations or individuals. We strongly believe that we will win more

Intellectual Property Law Firm of the Year—Taiwan Deep & Far attorneys-at-law was founded in 1992 and is dealing with all phases of laws with a focus on the practice in separate or in combination of all aspects of intellectual property rights (IPRs) including patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, unfair competition, and/or licensing, counselling, litigation and/or transaction thereof.
Area of Practice: Intellectual Property, including patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret. The patent attorneys and patent engineers in Deep & Far normally hold outstanding and advanced degrees and are generally graduated from the top five universities in this country. Our prominent staffs are dedicated to provide the best quality service in IPRs in this country. As a proof, about one half of top 100 incorporations in this country have experiences of seeking patented their techniques, but more than one fifth of the top 100 incorporations has ever used services of this firm. Furthermore, Hi-Tech companies in the science-based industrial park located at Hsin Chu had ever played the most important role in booming the economy of this country. About one half of them has experiences in seeking patented their techniques, and out of more than 50% of the patent-experienced companies in that park have ever entrusted their IPR works to this firm.
Experiences: Mr. Yu-Li Tsai, a patent attorney graduated from Department of Electrical Engineering of National Taiwan University (NTUEE), which is the best engineering school in Taiwan. Because of interest in communication system, he then attended in the Graduate Institute of Communication Engineering (GICE) of NTU. During his research life in GICE, he also started to get involved in knowledge and skills of patent-related matters for taking and receiving the qualification of patent attorney. Mr. Tsai also attended to receive an IP master from Law School of University of New Hampshire, also known as Franklin Pierce Center for Intellectual Property, had an internship with InterDigital, Inc., and passed the U.S. Patent Bar Examination. Currently, Mr. Tsai is working for Deep & Far Attorneys-at-Law as a patent attorney. It is our philosophy to provide competent legal services that other firm cannot comparably provide. The necessitated ensuing problem is how we can so provide? Deep & Far so achieve by selecting, edifying and nurturing peoples who have the following personalities: learned in expertise, morally earnest and sincerely behaved in mind and strictly disciplined between give and take. It is wellbelieved that such properties are key factors for peoples to properly and competently behave themselves. Because the clients become more understood in the knowledge of IP and more budgetsensitive, they usually want to select an agent who can more efficiently and effectively deal with their IP matters. They often invite bids, set out tenders and call for interview before they decide to entrust a service provider. Taking patent for example, they gather information of costs for patent prosecution, previous works, and firm introduction materials in a preliminary choice stage, and hold an interview to obtain further details of the firm which has passed the preliminary choice stage. We represent international giants, e.g. InterDigital, MPS, Schott Glas, Toyo Ink, Motorola, Cypress, Google, Armani. We always keep updating the newest state of this firm, recruiting elite patent engineers and strictly
training them the essential skills, improving the efficiency and quality of service, and developing new strategies that can assist the clients effectively protecting their intellectual property rights. This firm believes that if the efficiency, quality, and enthusiasm of the services can be consistently monitored and maintained, overcoming complexities, challenges or changes is just a result rather than an issue. Our aspiration and directions would be developing more potential clients either in domestic or foreign countries, and expanding the size of this firm to assist more clients in pursuing most satisfactory IP protection. Although the domestic IP market, especially in the patent field in 2013 shrank a little, we expect this situation may finally change because there is a phenomenon that the gross economy is starting to recover in 2014.

Securities Litigation Law Firm of the Year — USA Entwistle & Cappucci is a national law firm providing exceptional legal representation to clients globally in the most complex and challenging legal matters. Our practice encompasses all areas of litigation including securities, antitrust, corporate transactions, general corporate and commercial, creditor’s rights and bankruptcy, corporate governance and fiduciary duty, government affairs, insurance, investigations and white collar defense.

Over the years, the Firm represented an impressive roster of clients including the nation’s largest public pension systems, publicly traded corporations, private equity firms, hedge funds, high net worth investors and charitable organizations. As an entrepreneurial firm, we approach the issues facing our clients not merely as lawyers but as business owners who understand the realities of the modern business environment. We partner closely with our clients both in formulating highly effective solutions to the challenges they face and in identifying opportunities that present themselves. This approach has rewarded us with loyal and expansive relationships of which we are immensely proud. Our reputation as the most highly skilled and accomplished litigators among clients, adversaries and the judiciary has not been inherited from prior generations but has been earned day-by-day, client-by-client and matter-by-matter. Our Firm has litigated newsworthy, high profile and complex cases across a broad spectrum of substantive areas, representing public and private corporations, major hedge funds, public pension funds and other leading institutional investors. We managed through all of these changes on the strength of our Chief Financial Officer and Paralegal Manager who led the restructuring and move with fantastic support from the rest of our staff. In late 2015 we restructured our entire IT department in order to move to a cutting edge cloud based platform that would provide a more collaborative environment for clients and co-counsel. At the same time we moved to new space with a more flexible floor plan. We are wholly focused on serving the most complex and serious of our clients' litigation, investigative and transactional needs. This is work that cannot be efficiently or cost effectively handled in-house at the level these fast moving situations require. Contact Details: Andrew J.

Francis Scarpulla Competition: US Plaintiff Law Firm of the Year The Scarpulla Law Firm handles antitrust and other competition claims in the United States, Canada, the European Union, and Taiwan. We profiled the firm as we gained an insight into the success and strategy of the business from Francis O. Scarpulla. Based in California, the Scarpulla Law Firm works with a variety of clients, including Fortune 500 companies, government entities, small businesses, and natural-person consumers. The team operates with an overall mission of recovering the highest amount of damages for clients, and it achieves this by prosecuting their claims to the fullest extent of the law. Operating exclusively as a litigation boutique, the firm only accepts cases which it believes are winnable, either because there has already been a governmental-entity investigation, or because the client has inside information which is sufficient to support the claims. After taking on the case, the firm’s team works alongside the client every step of the way to ensure that the desired outcome is achieved. Taking an individual interest in each client, staff consult with them on a regular basis and involve them in all major decisions. If the client is not interested in pre-trial resolution of claims, then the team are always prepared to try their cases. Ensuring that the firm can adapt to daily developments within the legal industry, attorneys read all new case-law precedent, the rules of procedure, and statutes in the competition/antitrust discipline, including how these substantive laws relate to class action procedures. Ensuring that the best result is reached, the law firm’s attorneys consult with each other, as well as with staff daily to ensure that there is no important information overlooked. In addition to being admitted to the Bar of the United States Supreme Court, Francis is admitted to the Roll of Solicitors in England, Wales and the Republic of Ireland. Expanding its international competition practice in addition to its Canadian and EU competition cases, the firm will consider the viability of cartel claims in China and India. Francis has been the recipient of a number of accolades, including: The California State Bar Antitrust Lawyer of the Year; AI – Most Outstanding Law Firm of the Year; Global Leading Lawyers – Competition – US Plaintiffs Law Firm of the Year; and Lawyers of Distinction – Civil Litigation – Top 10% in USA to name a few. Ultimately, building on the success of its achievements, there are exciting times ahead for the Scarpulla Law Firm. Francis and the team believe that for EU member states to protect their citizen-consumers from price-fixing cartels, these states should adopt uniform competition damage statutes, permit cross-border service of process and discovery, and enact uniform opt-out class action procedures, as well as permitting contingent fee contracts.

Accounting Firm of the Year – UK Please introduce yourself, detail your areas of expertise and your experience. John Harrison and Company have offices in Worksop, Nottinghamshire. We are an innovative firm and have won many international awards for our work. We have recently won the Corporate Livewire award for the Best Financial Management Services in the UK for 2017 for the second year in a row and won the Acquisition International s award for the Most Innovative for Financial Management Services in the UK. Please provide an overview of your firm’s history and areas of expertise. Our Financial Management Service is designed to provide a full outsourced finance department to owner managed businesses. It is tailored to their needs to provide them with information and support that will help them manage their businesses more profitably. We specialise in helping businesses to become more successful. Using our skill with numbers, and the ideas of some of the world’s leading business thinkers and achievers, we’ve developed a series of processes, systems and tools to help businesses become much, much more successful. We believe that our clients should always have access to the best business development support that is available. We also believe that our clients should not pay any more tax than the law requires them to pay. So using our Tax Mitigation Service we plan our clients’ tax affairs so that they pay the least amount of tax possible. To provide the full range of specialised services our clients will require from their ‘back office’ finance department, we have put together a network of professional service providers covering business cost reduction services; an online debt recovery system; corporate and personal finance; tax mitigation; wealth management; research and development tax credits, insolvency support and so on. What’s your firm’s unique selling point? There are two things which differentiate us in the accountancy profession. First, we see our role as helping owner managed businesses build better businesses and have better lives, hence our strapline ‘Better Business, Better Life’ Our Business Development Programme takes business owners through a full process from goal setting, through strategic planning, business modelling, customer service standards, team building, operational efficiency and so on through to creating a Management Control Plan. The second is that we believe in setting the highest possible service standards which are backed by these guarantees: We guarantee that our fees will be agreed in advance for all the assignments that we undertake; we will always take our clients’ telephone calls when we are in our office or return them within seven working hours, failing which we will send our client £50; we will meet the deadlines that are set for any assignment or that assignment is free; and we will pay any penalties, interest and surcharges which might arise from our shortcomings. On top of all that, if anything we do falls short of our clients’ expectations we will refund our fee in full without question, or allow our client to reduce the fee to whatever level they feel Please tell us about the firm’s management in this (these) areas and their specific abilities. These are the core values upon which our business success has been built and on which our future success will be built. Work Expectations. Our work experience has to be sufficiently varied to give all team members exposure to all of the types of work that general practice, and our practice in particular, can give. The work we do has to be challenging and enjoyable.
Client Relationships. At all times, we have to maintain personal relationships with our clients. They must be made to feel welcome on every contact with our practice. They must always be aware of the work we are performing for them, the desired results, anticipated time scale and, most importantly, the progress we are making on their behalf. Client contact will always take precedence over anything else that we are doing at the time. Team Management, Development and Relationships. The personal development of all of our team members is vital for our own self esteem and for our future as a practice. We have to regard learning as a lifetime commitment. Our internal procedures have to ensure that every team member always has a personal development programme and given every assistance necessary to carry it out. We will always be aware of the maxim that ‘business creates life’ in the sense that we go to work to provide the means to make a better life for ourselves. We will always remember that our responsibilities to our families always take precedence over our professional ones as the latter can be delegated in times of need. Personal Standards. Greet and farewell clients by name, with eye contact and handshake if appropriate. Always speak politely using a person’s name, ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ as appropriate. If you have an issue with someone, talk about it with them and in private and resolve the issue. When you talk to a person who is not present, speak as if they are listening to your conversation. Apologise and make restitution if someone is rightfully upset by your actions. Blame a system, not a person for errors or omissions. When things go wrong it is inevitably because our procedures have not been documented properly rather than individual incompetence. Always tell the truth. Trust is one of the most important factors in professional relationships. Once it is lost, the relationship is likely to be lost too. Quality. The quality and accuracy of our work should always be the highest level possible commensurate with its value to our client and naturally the amount they are prepared to pay for it. All of the work we do must be subject to review before it is submitted to our clients. Leadership. We have to be innovative in our service delivery. We have to always be aware that our clients’ needs will change over time so we must always observe those changes and amend our service offering where necessary. The role of leader is to provide the vision of our business progression, to carry out the necessary research, communicate it to the team members and provide them with the means to carry it out. Please detail any significant clients your firm has worked with and/or projects undertaken by your firm in the past year. We have been engaged by a $500 million American company which deals with liquid handling and has decided to expand into Europe.

“Outstanding product, outstanding service, I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Harrison’s accounting and consulting services to any company that is considering opening a business in the United Kingdom”. Richard Stanton, (of the American company)
“Dear Richard, I’m glad to hear that Mr. Harrison has provided you with a variety of accounting and consulting services. I will keep Mr. Harrison in mind for future US companies who are considering opening a business in the UK.” Ondre Seltzer, Business Development Associate, UK Trade & Investment, British Consulate-General | 2029 Century Park East, Suite 1350, Los Angeles. Also we’ve recently been appointed by a British company which has invented the greenest lightweight aggregate in the world which is used for concrete manufacture using raw material all of which goes into
landfill at the moment. We are working with them on their business plans and assisting them arranging the funding for the first UK plant which will generate sales of £50 million per annum. We have been chosen because our systems are expandable, fully documented in the cloud and we have access to efficient offshoring services which will provide any labour that we cannot source in the UK What challenges, complexities or changes has the firm experienced this year particularly bearing in mind the tough economic downturn we are all encountering? When I first obtained my practising certificate I could provide any of the services that my clients might require: accounts and tax returns; audit; wealth management and insolvency work. Over the years the latter three have been denied to us through regulation and licensing. When computers first became commercially available they gave us an exceptional technological advantage because in the small business sector only professional practices could afford to buy them. Things are very different now. People can go to college for three years, buy a £400 laptop and all of a sudden they can set up across the road as an ‘accountant’ at about 1/3rd of the fee we charge. So there we were. The last of our core services and the margin on it was falling through the floor. How did you overcome the complexities, challenges or changes? Around the end of 2013 I was at a 2020 conference where Chris Fredrikson was speaking. He was extolling the virtues of a book that had been written by Jim Collins and was the most read book on business management on the planet.. I had that book, but never read it. It was called ‘Built to Last’. Collins had carried out a study of businesses that had started out over 100 years ago and were still with us today and compared them with similar companies that set up at the same time but failed. He discovered that each of the long lasting companies had a mission. He didn’t mean one those woolly Mission Statements thought up by marketing gurus, he meant they has a real purpose, for example, GalxoSmithKline whose mission was to improve human health so if they are fighting cholera or polio or aids or some future disease it makes no difference.. So that set me thinking about my accountancy practice which had been founded in 1928. What had been our mission that had seen us through the last 90 years or so that would be relevant for the next 90 years? I knew from an old cash book that we still had that in the 1930s most of the work was insolvency work. As the Second World War came along accounts preparation became prevalent; in the 1970s when tax rates hit 98% tax mitigation was a big factor; from the 80s onwards computerised accounting services were prevalent. To me the common thread seemed to be that we were helping business owners build better businesses and in Paul Dunn’s words provide a better life for the owners, the workers and their customers so the strapline ‘Better Business, Better Life was born. I wondered what services can we provide that would fit into that definition in this digital age and I came to the conclusion that it would be financial management services, helping business owners set their long term strategic goals and achieve them. At its heart would be a Financial Management System and started researching electronic systems using the cutting edge technology that was becoming available at the time. Purchase invoices were e-mailed into the system, approved online and supplier payments sent into an online system for authorisation and release to our clients’ bank accounts; bank transactions were streamed into the accounting system and real time financial reports sent straight to our clients’ phone. The year end figures go into financial performance review software for graphical analysis, forward projections and financial modelling. You might have noticed that no single entry has been typed into the accounting system with a keyboard. Not a single one. And so it is with month end journals. Spreadsheets are created for things such as petty cash transactions, expense claims, month end journals and these are linked to a template which is used to upload the transactions into our accounting software, eliminating the possibility of keyboard error. What are the future aspirations and directions for the firm? How do you see the market progressing in 2018?
Business for Good
As part of our initiative to help spread the word about businesses giving back to the community, we play a big part in this thanks to Buy 1 Give 1. Due to B1G1’s incredible charities and stories, we are able to choose what charities and what giving we want to do. We have decided to link various tasks we complete to giving so that when we complete a certain task we will give to a project on our client’s behalf. The point of B1G1 is becoming a business for good. Here are some of the examples of the charitable giving that we make: •
As it means a lot to us to gain a new client at John Harrison and Company, when someone new signs we provide five hot, nutritious meal to persons in need in the UK.
•
A business diagnostic is a great way for business owner to improve their business so when we complete a diagnostic we send a birthday treat to an orphaned child in South Africa
•
Our Profit Improvement Programme really is a very valuable tool to help businesses grow. As it is so important tour clients, we have decided that when we complete this programme we shelter a child for a week in Nepal
•
It’s really good for our cash flow when a client pays our fees on time so when they do we provide hospital patients with clean water for a day in Kenya.
•
When file accounts at Companies House, we provide one square metre of rainforest protection in Australia
•
When we file a tax return, we give seven days of access to warm clothes for winter protection in Ukraine.

Helping us achieve this objective are our specialist team led by experts with backgrounds in fields such as engineering and finance together with years spent in corporate finance.
