It is worth mentioning that in a cross-border dispute of a warranty contract for Taishin International Bank, a well-known bank in Taiwan, she won the ruling of the Supreme People’s Court to retrial, and obtained a successful verdict in the remanded case, even though other law firms had lost the first and second trial.
