Representation in Japanese Court and Arbitration

We represent foreign and domestic clients in Japanese courts, in various areas of disputes including:

• Commercial;

• Investment and securities;

• Debt collection;

• IP (copyright, trademark and patent) infringement;

• Employment; and

• Other general matters

Our lawyers have also represented foreign and domestic clients in international arbitration, including before Japanʼs largest arbitration body, the Japan Commercial Arbitration Association.

Japanese Law Support in Foreign Proceedings

We also have collective experience in providing Japanese legal support to lawyers abroad that represent their clients (typically, Japan-based clients) in foreign forums, when, for example, questions about Japanese law arise or a discovery procedure is initiated against a Japanese parent company. We are committed to providing the most intimate and rigorous support possible to achieve the goal of your team.
