Legal Question in Business Law in New York

Re: International Summons

The answer to your question as to whether you can sue a Taiwanese company IN THE UNITED STATES is a resounding IT DEPENDS.

You can, of course, sue them in Taiwan. However, obtaining jurisdiction in the United States over the company probably presents some problems. I'd need to know a lot more about the business, the dispute, and any underlying contract(s), including the "boilerplate," before I can begin to answer your question.

You need to hire an attorney to help you through the mudbath of international personal jurisdiction over the company if you are intent on suing in the USA. You are welcome to contact me to set up a free half-hour consultation if you wish (wherein I will still not be able to fully answer your question, since the answer here will take some research and a thorough reading of your contracts and understanding of your business and the business of the Taiwanese company).
