Litigation and Dispute Resolution
Commercial Litigation
Litigation and dispute resolution forms a sizable proportion of our practice. For law firm that focuses on corporate legal affairs this is a particularly distinctive feature. Our attorneys have an excellent reputation across all avenues of dispute resolution, including litigation, mediation, and arbitration, as well as ADR matters in various industries.
Non-Contentious Commercial Proceedings
Our attorneys regularly handle commercial law matters, such as guidance for shareholders meetings and corporate restructuring, and dispute resolution through courts. Based on this accumulated practical experience, we also act in many non-contentious commercial proceedings, i.e. matters such as determination of consideration in corporate restructurings, legal effect of actions by the chairperson or others at shareholder meetings, disclosure of corporate minutes, proceedings related dissolution and liquidation, and appointments of provisional officers, etc.

International commercial arbitration is widely recognized as an avenue for dispute resolution in cross-border transactions. Our firm’s strength in litigation and dispute resolution finds application in this distinctive field. Our attorneys have extensive knowledge and practical experience representing clients at arbitration tribunals in Japan. Outside Japan as well, we provide expert advice on Japanese law issues when partnering with local counsel in various jurisdictions.
