International Disputes
The internationalization of the Japanese economy has inevitably led to an increase in the number and complexity of transnational disputes between corporations, and between corporations and Japanese and foreign governments. Law firms need to be able to offer a comprehensive range of services to deal appropriately with dispute resolution. Our firm, which grew by the consolidation of a small number of Japanese law firms, has engaged in numerous cross-border dispute cases since its establishment, and has consistently achieved successful results for our clients.
Cross-border disputes involve working closely with attorneys outside Japan, and, therefore, a through knowledge of foreign legal systems and the ability to explain the Japanese legal system to foreign clients and lawyers is required. Advanced knowledge and experience in fields relevant to each case is also necessary. In particular, arbitration, which is one of the most common methods of resolving international disputes, requires expertise and experience, and our firm has a long-standing record of outstanding performance in this field.
Many of our lawyers have studied at prestigious foreign law schools or worked at leading foreign law firms, which has equipped them with the capability to deal with complex cases.
