Xiri Attorneys-at-law

What Xiri Attorneys-at-law does

Xiri Attorneys-at-law is a Taipei-headquartered boutique corporate law firm founded in 2019 by managing partner Sabine Lin (林雁琳), operating from a single Xinyi District office with a team of one to ten professionals. The firm delivers specialized legal advisory across three practice areas — Technology & Startups, Cross-Border Investment, and Corporate & Employment Matters — with particular depth in M&A, venture financing, employment law, personal data protection, and regulatory compliance for technology, fintech, blockchain, and life sciences clients.

The firm operates a traditional professional services model, generating revenue through billable hours and fixed-fee project engagements. Its go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven: partners cultivate clients through direct professional engagement, referral partnerships with startup accelerators (FutureWard, The Hive) and legal platforms (EZLAW), thought-leadership content marketing via a bilingual blog covering PDPA amendments, labor law, and startup legal topics, and speaking engagements at startup and co-working events. Bilingual Mandarin/English capability is positioned as a core differentiator for serving foreign multinationals and cross-border mandates.

The client roster spans Taiwan-listed enterprises (Himax Technologies, DaVita Taiwan), financial institutions (DBS Bank Taiwan), insurance multinationals (MetLife Taiwan subsidiary), and a notable cluster of blockchain and fintech startups (MaiCoin, AMIS, Kyber Capital, CoolBitX). Noteworthy deal credentials include advising MetLife on its USD 180 million Taiwan subsidiary sale to CTBC Financial Holdings, advising DBS Bank on its acquisition of Baohua Commercial Bank and post-merger integration, and advising Himax Technologies on its US acquisition of Spatial Photonics. The firm has no disclosed funding, parent company, or subsidiary structure and operates as an independent partnership.
