Testimonials

Nick Chen is one of the most street-smart attorneys and business people I have known, worked with, and come to respect highly. He has been (and continues to be) a most trusted adviser, especially in providing diverse corporate support in regional M&A and investment projects as well as comprehensive strategic intellectual property litigation support such as in a victorious eight year "battle of titans" trade secret litigation in U.S., Taiwan and China, resulting in favorable (to TSMC) judgments in China, Taiwan and the U.S. and in multiple hundreds of million dollar settlement.

In the specific area of M&A, he has provided excellent nuts and bolts advise. For example, in the area of due diligence, he is one of the most astute folks in ferreting out the real facts (rice-paddy myth has him walking a field in China to determine a potential unreported dumping of toxic chemicals of a target acquisition, only to return to the facility with the soles of his sneakers melting away!).

Among key advisory roles he has played for us are: investments in the greater China region; electronic discovery and document management system planning; implementation and advisory work related to assorted China issues, etc.

Nick Chen stands head and shoulders above other firms with regard to the excellent client care and the exceptionally high quality services that he and his firm have provided over the years.

Thank you for coming and visiting us – more than that – for sharing your hard gained experiences and skills with us. We have learned a lot from you and will definitely put to optimum use. I hope it is just the beginning of our friendship and working together – I was personally touched and confident that we can together create the best Biodiversity frame-work for Bhutan – where others will also gain from us. [...] I hope and pray that the hinges of our friendship will never rust but grow from strength to strength.

No one ever expected that [this engagement] would ever be so difficult. This was a very frustrating, complex, and challenging assignment to say the least. Although the desired result was not what we initially expected, through your hard work, guidance, and perseverance, we achieved the right outcome. [..] One of the ways I measure the value of professional firms is by the things they tell me that I don’t know and their willingness to tell me things that may not be in their best interest, but in the best interest of their clients. On both accounts Pamir succeeded. Well done and thank you.

I want to thank you for the great, and timely, work that you guys did for us while I was in China the last couple of weeks. The speed and quality of the work we needed done was, indeed, important. The papers written on our questions were well-outlined and to the point without burying us with unneccessary verbiage.
