Recently, Attorney Chen, Founder and Chairman of the Firm, was invited to attend a luncheon and exchange hosted by the “Central Taiwan Listed Companies Elite Club”, a landmark organization for business leaders in Central Taiwan. Under the theme “Three Decades of Finance and Industrial Development: Practical Insights and Experiences,” Attorney Chen engaged in an in-depth dialogue with numerous leaders of listed companies regarding the two core challenges facing Taiwanese enterprises: “Transformation” and “Succession.”

Reflecting on the pivotal turning points of Taiwan’s financial industry over the past thirty years—ranging from financial liberalization and the establishment of private banks in the early 1990s, through the Asian Financial Crisis and domestic corporate crises, to the more recent emphasis on Regulatory Compliance, Anti-Money Laundering (AML), and Corporate Governance 3.0—this journey of transformation has witnessed the market’s evolution from a monopoly toward free competition. It has also seen financial services transition from state-led public enterprises into a highly competitive and professionalized industry. Amidst such shifts, Attorney Chen emphasized that enterprises must deeply internalize the importance of risk control to maintain resilience against market shocks.

Addressing the global wave of AI transformation, Attorney Chen remarked: “While AI can significantly enhance the efficiency and precision of data processing, the central role of humans must never be overlooked in complex decision-making. The core distinction between AI and senior professionals lies in the accumulation of experience and the depth of value-based judgment.” For instance, in legal disputes, asset allocation, or battles over corporate control, data is undoubtedly essential. However, navigating intricate webs of conflicting interests—observing human nature, weighing pros and cons, and making discretionary calls that possess “strategic altitude” and “long-term value” within regulatory boundaries—still relies on senior experts with profound practical foundations. Such judgment, honed through real-world experience, represents a form of business intelligence that AI is currently unable to replicate.

Regarding the issue of succession, a top priority for many business owners, Attorney Chen shared his practical observations on “Family Governance.” He highlighted methods such as the establishment of “Family Offices,” the formulation of “Family Constitutions,” and the strategic utilization of trust instruments to clarify power structures and profit distribution, thereby mitigating uncertainty throughout the succession process.
