C & C’s Partner Alison Chang Delivered Opening Remarks and C & C’s Associate Claire Liu Served as Moderator at the “Arbitration Halloween Potluck Party: Where Pastoral Insights Meet Legal Minds!”

On 31 October 2026, Chen & Chang’s partner Alison Chang FCIArb, former Convenor of the Ciarb Taiwan Chapter, joined current Convenor Monica Wang FCIArb in delivering opening remarks at the “Arbitration Halloween Potluck Party: Where Pastoral Insights Meet Legal Minds!” They expressed their support for Ciarb’s activities and courses ,and encouraged young members to continue building and contributing to Taiwan’s arbitration community.

The event was moderated by Chen & Chang’s associate Claire Liu MCIArb. The first session featured Pijan Wu FCIArb, who is both an ordained pastor and a New York attorney, as the speaker, with Chengkai Wang MCIArb and Chia-Hsin Wu MCIArb serving as discussants. In a light-hearted Halloween atmosphere, the session explored how different professional roles, including those of lawyers, pastors and teachers, can complement one another through “choice, accumulation, interdisciplinary exploration and contribution,” enriching both professional development and life experiences.

The second session featured a lively potluck gathering, with each participant bringing a dish to share. A bingo game also helped participants get to know one another and exchange experiences in a relaxed setting. The event was filled with knowledge-sharing, heartfelt moments and laughter.

Helena is happy to see participants continue to pursue their interests, build their knowledge, explore different fields and become interesting people who are both capable of and willing to help others.

Special thanks go to the co-organizers: Ciarb Taiwan Chapter, Ciarb Taiwan YMG, Dacheng Taiwan, and Chen & Chang, Attorneys-at-Law, for making this event a success.
