Chinese Affairs
As discussed above, we established our Shanghai office in 1995.Since we had been dealing with many Chinese cases and providing legal consultation relating to China prior to such establishment, we are able to provide appropriate legal services based on broad experience for every type of legal matter faced by Japanese companies engaged in commercial practices in China.
Based on Shanghai office, we respond to various requests including daily legal consultation, investment, business association, legal disputes, and restructuring in relation to business transaction of Japanese-affiliated companies that expand their business into China.In recent new investment cases, merger and acquisition of Chinese domestic companies including large Chinese national companies has particularly increased, which requires compliance with various laws and regulations of China.In terms of business transactions concerning products and services, since various laws and regulations including intellectual property laws, competition laws and trade laws apply to such transactions, compliance procedures are quite complicated and varied.Based on this situation, we established a database of the latest laws and cases, and arranged business association with Chinese attorneys in principal cities in China who have practical experience in the United States, Europe and Japan to respond to the latest legal technique.Therefore, we are able to provide appropriate and the most up-to-date legal service for cases involving China, which is changing drastically.
