Tokyo-law work

Host-country counsel leads

Tokyo entity, employment, regulatory, transaction, court, arbitration, property, and private-client questions normally require appropriately qualified local counsel.

China-law work

China counsel may remain relevant

PRC approvals, outbound investment, foreign exchange, tax, data, employment, and enforcement questions may need a separate China workstream. One listing does not imply dual qualification.

Consultation preparation

What to send before speaking with counsel

A focused first message helps a lawyer assess fit, urgency, conflicts, and likely next steps. Prepare:

  • a short summary of the issue and the outcome you want;
  • a dated timeline, including any filing, hearing, termination, or response deadline;
  • the key contract, notice, correspondence, registration, or decision documents;
  • the names and locations of the parties so the lawyer can check conflicts and jurisdiction; and
  • your preferred working language and whether you need an initial budget or fee estimate.

Do not send originals or unnecessary sensitive data before engagement terms and a secure document channel are confirmed.

Request a consultation.
