Brainberg Law Firm was established in 1999 and has long been dedicated to providing specialized legal services in construction and infrastructure, energy development, and government procurement. The Firm is led by its founding partner, Gabriel Hsieh, who brings dual professional backgrounds in civil engineering and law. His particular expertise in design-build and EPC/turnkey projects, together with extensive experience in the planning, design, and construction management of large-scale developments, enables the Firm to advise clients on highly complex, engineering-driven legal matters with a high-level of technical insight.
The Firm’s outstanding performance in construction and engineering law has been internationally recognized by The Legal 500 (Asia-Pacific), which has named Brainberg Law Firm a “Firm to Watch” in the practice areas of Real Estate, Energy and Projects.
Brainberg advises domestic and international project owners, contractors, engineering consultants, architects, engineers, and suppliers on legal risk management across the entire life cycle of construction projects—from initial planning and risk allocation and regulatory compliance with safety and building requirements, to the resolution of design defects, extensions of time, delay penalties, variations, price adjustment mechanisms, acceptance and handover, guarantees and warranties, and performance-related disputes.
In this capacity, Brainberg regularly represents clients in proceedings before Taiwan’s Public Construction Commission, as well as before arbitral tribunals and courts, including bidding-related dispute petitions and mediation procedures, arbitration, and litigation.

Drawing on the team’s in-depth understanding of engineering technology, construction processes, and project management systems, Brainberg integrates legal expertise with engineering practicality to deliver pragmatic and workable solutions. This integrated approach enables clients to effectively mitigate contractual and performance risks, resolve construction disputes, and address highly technical and complex engineering challenges.
