About Sanyu Law Firm
Sanyu Law Firm was founded by attorneys with complementary professional backgrounds. Our team brings experience from leading law firms, cross-border matters, and senior in-house legal roles at publicly listed technology companies. Our attorneys also hold advanced legal qualifications, including a doctoral degree in law and licenses to practice in both Taiwan and California.
By examining each matter from multiple perspectives, we assess not only the immediate litigation strategy and potential outcome, but also the long-term legal and commercial risks involved. This enables our clients to make informed decisions, anticipate challenges, and pursue efficient, practical, and actionable legal strategies.
We believe the law is more than a tool for resolving disputes. It should also provide clarity, direction, and reassurance when you are facing conflict or making an important decision.

Client Testimonials
Labor Dispute | Engineer Facing a Sudden Job Reassignment
“When I received notice from the company that I was being reassigned, I was simply told, ‘Everything is legal, and your consent is not required.’ At that moment, I felt completely overwhelmed and unsure of what to do.
The attorneys at Sanyu not only explained my legal rights as an employee in detail, but also guided me step by step on how to gather evidence and protect myself. They also provided practical courtroom experience and strategic advice that AI simply could not offer.
With this knowledge, I no longer felt intimidated when dealing with the company. More importantly, their support gave me tremendous confidence and peace of mind.
In the end, I was able to reach the most favorable outcome for me through mediation.”
Corporate Legal Counsel | Company Without In-House Legal Suppor
“Sanyu does more than review our contracts. They also identify potential risks in our internal systems and business processes, helping us gradually build stronger internal controls. Since working with them, our overall operations have become much smoother.”
Real Estate Dispute | Landlord Dealing with a Bad-Faith Tenant
“The tenant stopped paying rent and refused to move out, leaving me physically and emotionally exhausted. The attorney responded quickly, helped me assess the evidence and organize the legal process, and showed me how to handle the situation lawfully.
The entire process went smoothly, and I was ultimately able to recover possession of the property. The legal fees were also exactly as explained in advance.”
Criminal Case | Young Person Summoned by the Police
“When I received a notice from the police, I initially thought it was a scam. After calling to verify it, I was shocked to learn that I had become involved in a criminal case.
Fortunately, the attorneys at Sanyu immediately explained what I needed to focus on and how I should proceed. They also accompanied me to the police interview. Thanks to their thorough preparation and analysis beforehand, I felt much less anxious when entering a police station for the first time and later when being questioned by the prosecutor.
In the end, the case concluded with a decision not to prosecute. I am truly grateful for their help.”
