In a sign of improved relations across the Taiwan Strait, a new Taiwan-mainland China cooperative legal service centre was officially inaugurated in early November.

The Across-Taiwan-Strait Legal Service Center ("ATS Legal Service Center") is a joint initiative of Dacheng Law Offices and the Taiwan All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce ("TAFIC").

The ATS Legal Service Center aims to provide legal services for investors in Taiwan as well as  mainland China with a particular aim of filling the gap in legal services for those who intend to invest in Taiwan.

The inauguration ceremony attracted high profile officials from bodies such as the Shanghai East Asia Institute, Shanghai Federation of Industry and Commerce, Shanghai Changning District Municipal Bureau of Justice and Pudong Zhangjiang Hi-Domain, all of whom spoke highly of the initiative.
