Business Development Support

Foreign companies often struggle in their business development initiatives with Japanese companies. We provide insight into Japanese business practices, bilingual communication skills, and dedicated service to help our clients succeed with their Japanese business partners.

International Negotiation Support

Negotiations with large Japanese companies can be complex and extremely challenging for foreign businesses. With years of experience advising both Japanese and American businesses in negotiations for cross-border deals, we assist our clients in negotiating effectively with Japanese counterparties and reaching a positive outcome.

Lectures and Seminars

We have conducted dozens of lectures and seminars for Japanese companies and Japanese law firms on topics such as international M&A transactions, international business negotiations, and startup and venture capital market practice in the United States.

To provide these services, we leverage deep experience in a wide range of Japan-related international business projects, and we offer insight based on our firsthand experience advising Japanese as well as American companies on a multitude of international business transactions.
