我國法律事務所組織規範之爭議核心 ──資產(責任)分割與律師特性之調和──

THE CORE ISSUE IN LAW FIRM STATUTES: BALANCING BETWEEN ASSET PARTITIONING AND THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE LEGAL PROFESSION

指導教授 : 王文宇

摘要


設例:甲為一名中華民國律師,欲於中華民國成立法律事務所,其可選用之組織型態有哪些?其於選擇時,有哪些可能考量因素?進一步言,目前甲所得選用之組織型態,是否有不足之處?立法上,應否、如何修正我國法律事務所之組織規範? 針對上開問題,過去雖有文獻進行一定程度之研究,然終有美中不足之處。本論文即旨在嘗試補強與糾正過去研究之不足,研析組織規範之法理標準,俾我國法律事務所組織規範於修正或訂定時,可有一興利與防弊之準據,並提出具體可行之修正方向與配套措施。 相關問題意識及探討進路如下:第一章,說明過去文獻不足之處,並陳明此不足之處對於組織規範訂定與修正所可能產生之影響;第二章,點出組織規範之核心法理、目的為「資產分割」(asset partitioning),復說明由於資產(責任)分割涉及市場交易各主體間權利義務關係之切割重組,業主無法全然事先自行決定,故原則上應透過組織規範進行訂定。最末回應本論文主題,指出組織規範之爭議核心,應在於如何調和資產(責任)分割狀態與產業特性;第三章,本論文進一步說明律師特性,乃至於專門職業規範於市場交易中所扮演之角色,論述法律產業特性之內涵;第四章,本論文研析我國現已存在之各種法律事務所之資產(責任)分割狀態,以及各種組織型態經營管理上之利弊得失,釐清目前法律事務所組織規範未能盡善,即資產(責任)分割狀態與律師特性未能調和之處;第五章,本論文參考美國法制,分析歸納該國法律事務所組織規範之資產(責任)分割核心設計;第六章,總結全文,並討論我國法律事務所組織規範之修法進路及配套措施。

並列摘要


The primary goal of this thesis is to reflect on Taiwan’s law firm statutes, including the following issues: 1.What are the kinds of business forms from which a lawyer can choose when forming a law firm in Taiwan? What is the governance mechanism of each of them? 2.When choosing business forms, what are the concerns of a lawyer? 3.Are there any problems in the current law firm statutes? How should we revise them? In part I, I point out that although numerous studies in Taiwan have discussed these issues, they have failed to consider the basic principles of organizational law. This thesis will address this important omission by applying the basic principles of organizational law to law firms, and addressing the issue of whether and how we should revise Taiwan’s law firm statutes. In part II, I start by discussing the primary role of organizational law, which should be “asset partitioning”, and argue that whether and how an organizational law should be revised depends on the balance between asset partitioning and the characteristics of the organization to which the law will be applied. Therefore, the core issue in law firm statues is to balance between asset partitioning and the characteristics of the legal profession. In part III, I introduce the characteristics of the legal profession in contemporary Taiwan, and analyze the role of ethical rules from an economic standpoint. In addition, I point out that the characteristics of the legal profession are continuously changing and in fact are currently undergoing a significant shift. In part IV, I analyze asset partitioning and the governance mechanisms of current business forms for law firms to highlight the significant problems of Taiwan’s law firm statutes. In part V, I analyze US law firm statutes through the lenses of asset partitioning and governance mechanisms, and introduce the heated debate of the past few decades about whether to allow LLEs as an option for the legal profession. In part VI, I conclude and suggest guiding principles for revisions of Taiwan’s law firm statutes.
