Deep & Far was founded in 1992 and is one of the largest law firms in this country.
The firm is presently focused on the practice in separate or in combination of all
aspects of intellectual property rights (IPRs) including patents, trademarks, copyrights,
trade secrets, unfair competition, and/or licensing, counseling, litigation and/
or transaction thereof. Since this firm edges itself into the IPRs field,
the firm quickly comes to fame. As an illustration, this firm often is one of
the largest sources from which foreign filing orders originate.
The fascinating rise of this firm begins from the founder of Deep & Far attorneysat-law,
C. F. Tsai, who is the one first patent practitioner in this country who both
has technological and law backgrounds and is qualified as a local attorney-at-law.
The patent attorneys and patent engineers in this firm normally hold outstanding
and advanced degrees and are generally graduated from the top five universities in
this country and/or the university in the US. Our prominent staffs are dedicated to
provide the best quality service in IPRs. As a proof, about one half of top 100 incorporations
in this country have experiences of seeking patented their techniques,
but more than one fifth of the top 100 incorporations are/were clients of this firm.
Furthermore, Hi-Tech companies in the science-based industrial park located at
Hsin Chu play an important role in booming the economy of this country. About
one half of which have experiences in seeking patented their techniques, and out
of more than 60% of the patent-experienced companies in that park have ever
entrusted their IPR works to this firm.
We have experienced in seeking IPR-protections for our clients in more than
100 territories all over the world. We have thousands of IPR-cases respectively
prosecuted before official Patent Offices of major industrialized countries.
This firm not only is the most competent in IPR-related matters in this
country but also is very familiar with IPR-practices in major industrialized
countries. As a matter of fact, this firm oftentimes tries and makes precedents
of new claim-drafting styles. While we might have become wonderfully
famed locally with remarkable appreciation and respects, we would like to
extend our services for internationalized or quality service-requiring foreign
conglomerated giants, corporations or individuals. We strongly believe that
we will win more

Corporate Litigation Law Firm of the Year – Italy
Studio Legale Sutti was founded in 1953 by Dr. Angelo Sutti, Knight of the Italian
Republic, as an Italian law firm with a strong focus on company-commercial law
and intellectual property & competition law offering its services to businesses and
entrepreneurs. In the late seventies the Firm began an uninterrupted growth cycle,
eventually making it one of the largest Italian firms and in fact a multiprofessional
practice.
In the mid-eighties, SLS's practice became increasingly involved in the
international arena, and began interviewing foreign candidates in its recruitment
operations. This also led the Firm to establish its two representation offices abroad
in 1992, namely in London and Tokyo, offering the Firm's services to the local
markets; and to participate actively to the life of a number of foreign chambers of
commerce and trade associations in Italy.
The domestic operation of SLS, which had already included two regional offices
serving Northern Italy, respectively situated in the area of Bergamo and Brescia (in
Trescore Balneario) and in the area of Pavia and the southern Milanese province (in
Abbiategrasso), was significantly reinforced in 1993, when the Firm merged with
Monti & Partners - another well-known Milan-based law firm active since 1927 in
international investments and trade matters, as well as banking and financial law -
, and moved its Head Office to the current prestigious premises in Milan, via
Montenapoleone 8. New Italian offices were established in the same period,
respectively in Rome; Monza; and Genoa, where SLS was honoured to be joined by
the partners and associates of Studio Pennisi. In the meantime, SLS had become
both a multidisciplinary and an international firm, having welcomed patent
attorneys and tax advisors ("commercialisti") to its ranks and established the single
largest practice of South-Eastern Europe (in terms of human resources, territorial
coverage and turnover). In particular, further to mergers with local leading players,
the Firm started operating its own offices in Bulgaria, Yugoslavia (now Serbia),
Romania, Croatia, increasingly representing a point of reference with respect to
investment and trade involving that part of the world.
Stefano Sutti was born in Milan, Italy, studied law (JD, 1983, cum laude; LLM,
1985) and business administration at local the Catholic University of Milan. He is a
member of the Bar of Milan and of the Italian Supreme Court Bar. In 1980 he
started working as a paralegal for Studio Legale Sutti, one of the largest

independent Italian law firms and the only large Italian firm with a strong focus on
contentious work, which was founded in 1953 by Angelo Sutti,, in turn one of the
top Italian litigators of his generation. An associate since 1984, Stefano Sutti
became partner in 1989, managing partner in 1993, and senior partner in 2016.
His main specialisation is international disputes and complex corporate cases
(especially M&A- and trade-related). However, Dr Sutti has frequently been
requested, often by foreign colleagues on behalf of their clients, to plead, in Italian,
English and French, in all kinds of litigation, arbitration and mediation, namely in
civil, commercial and criminal courts; in appeals; before tax, antitrust and trade
authorities; before administrative, regulatory and disciplinary tribunals; and in
mock trials for demonstrative or educational purposes. A number of high-profile
matters dealt with by Stefano Sutti that have obtained widespread media coverage
have also involved the hi-tech sector. His reputation in this field was further
confirmed by the invitation to represent Italy in the EU Commission's European
Information Technology Conference 1996 in Brussels, where he participated in a
mock trial entitled Trading in Cyberspace: The Legal Frontier. Stefano Sutti is
regularly recommended among Italian leading counsel by most independent
sources. Dr Sutti and his dispute resolution team within Studio Legale Sutti are
also consistently mentioned by all international directories Besides his
participation to relevant committees in AIJA, UAE, IBA and IPBA, Stefano Sutti has
served a professor of International Litigation at the University of Padua, and is the
author of a large number of articles and essays, many of which deal with various
aspects of civil litigation in Italy, trial and appeal strategy, comparative procedural
law, and cybercrime. Despite his substantial caseload, Dr Sutti also plays an active
role in Studio Legale Sutti's continuing education programmes aimed at developing
the litigation and advocacy skills of its members (some of whom hold in turn
academic positions in the fields of civil and criminal procedure). These programmes
include discussing subjects ranging from Harvard risk tree analysis to Myamoto
Musashi's Book of the Five Rings, from neuro-linguistic programming to rhetoric to
strategy to game theory.

International Tax Law Firm of the Year – Brazil
Intercorp Group is an international consulting firm that serves high-net-worth
entrepreneurs and their families. They pride themselves on finding professional
solutions to often very personal issues, from migration and succession planning,
through to finding the right property and a good school.
Intercorp Group Statistics:
• Over 300 Successful family relocations
• Over 80 private investment funds
• Over 200 private family trusts
Intercorp Group was established under the supervision of Leonardo Braune with the
objective of becoming one of the few truly international tax consulting boutiques.
Braune is a respected and highly experienced consultant in the areas of international
tax, real estate planning, wealth preservation, fiduciary advice, implementation and
management of international structures and projects. With a vast experience in tax,
an extremely diversified client base and a very strong global network of top specialists
in many different business-related areas, Braune has led a large number of successful
projects in several industries including oil and gas, telecommunications, real estate,
international services, investment funds and asset management.
Their initial step is to assign one of their qualified coordinators, who will act
throughout the entire advisory and consulting process. Their coordinators have access
to an international network of professionals and specialists in many areas and are

responsible for "playing the role of the client", being therefore extremely capable of
clarifying questions and giving suggestions and practical solutions to their issues.
Commitment, creativity, technicality, quality and reliability are their core strengths. At
Intercorp Group, their clients can have direct or indirect access to a unique global
network of specialists and professionals who will work in a simple, clear and objective
manner. Their goal is to make our clients feel confident and comfortable that we are
handling their matters properly and efficiently.
They offer a highly bespoke and individual service, investing time and energy to fully
understand our clients’ requirements and evaluate their complex, multidisciplinary
and international needs. By placing their specific circumstances with our
understanding of the global and financial legal environment, we recommend the most
efficient approach to fulfil their wishes.
Through their work with many successful and prosperous families, our consultants
have developed a deep understanding of the tax systems throughout many
jurisdictions across the globe. This expertise is consulted during each of our
engagements, from personal estate planning to corporate restructuring of a family
business. Intercorp Group provides counsel to clients who are looking to explore the
benefits an international perspective may bestow upon their matters.
As part of their promise to clients, advice and execution manifest as one service.
Intercorp Group is involved throughout the entirety of the process: from determining
the scope of the project and explaining its consequences to carefully mapping out its
implementation.
They are advisors that see themselves in alliance with the client both unyieldingly
liable and responsible for the advice we provide.
Intercorp employs experienced consultants across a range of sectors, who work with
clients on a long-term basis to solve complex issues on their behalf. While they are
wholly independent, our business model utilises its access to a global network of
specialist partners, carefully built through years of reputation and personal
experience. The network includes several hundred strategic partners, all quality
assured, checked and vetted. This model is extremely rare and provides us with
unrivalled access to experts in any given field.

For over 20 years, Leonardo Braune has acted as a tax consultant in the areas of
international tax, real estate planning, wealth preservation, fiduciary advice,
implementation and management of international structures and project
management. He began his career as a trainee at Arthur Andersen where he quickly
became Senior Manager of the tax consulting area, acting significantly in many
segments there and working very closely with several international offices on
significant global projects.
With a vast experience in tax, an extremely diversified client base and a very strong
global network of top specialists in many different business related areas, Leonardo
Braune has been a part of a large number of successful projects in several industries
such as oil and gas, telecommunications, real estate, international services,
investment funds and asset management.
Practice Areas:
Global Relocation of UHMW Families
Post IPO Strategic Planning
International Investment Structuring
Protection of Family Business Abroad
Asset Protection
Corporate Restructuring
Real Estate Investment
Clients rarely engage Intercorp Group for single-issue solutions or off-the-shelf
products. More often, they come to Intercorp Group with a much broader, general
demand—the bigger picture. They work most effectively in long-term partnerships
where clients grant us a high level of autonomy to make decisions on their behalf.
This is unique in the consultancy marketplace and requires a high level of respect
between both parties, particularly because actions, much less results, are not always
immediate. To yield the best end-results, our consultants know that truly strategic
decisions are made at the right time rather than at the earliest opportunity. Their
longest standing clients understand this and trust in our promise to assume
responsibility for their best interests, as if they were their own.
Intercorp will remain at the forefront of developments in the international tax
regulatory world. Based on their evolving knowledge of the landscape, they will

continue to provide efficient advice based not on what the law says today, but on what
they believe the law is going to say tomorrow, how governments will behave and how
trends will develop over time.
