Officially, Taiwan Branch will need to arrange two roles: “Branch Manager”and “litigation and non-litigation agent”.
The latter role, so-called legal representative in general.
Taiwan Branch do not need to have Director and Company Secretory.

“Branch Manager”:
-A branch manager oversees the operations of a branch office of a foreign company in Taiwan.
-The branch office is not a separate legal entity but is part of the parent company.
-The branch manager is responsible for the day-to-day management and represents the branch in business activities within the scope allowed by the parent company.
-They do not necessarily have the authority to make decisions that bind the parent company legally.
-A Taiwan Branch can assign more than one branch manager.
“litigation and non-litigation agent”:
-A “litigation and non-litigation agent”, on the other hand, acts on behalf of the company in legal matters and has the authority to enter into binding agreements.
-They are often required to handle legal documentation and represent the company in legal proceedings.
-The “litigation and non-litigation agent” may be the same person as the branch manager, but they have different capacities when acting in these roles.
