Hello, my name is JN, and I am an attorney admitted in both Japan and New York. I’ｍ thrilled to announce the launch of the new website designed to serve as a legal resource for foreign businesses operating in Japan.

This project was inspired by two main reasons: (1) During my studies in the U.S., I noticed a shortage of straightforward explanations of Japanese legal frameworks in English, and (2) with ongoing robust inbound investments into Japan, I aimed to provide legal resources beneficial for these businesses.

The ‘Articles’ page currently features 13 articles covering a wide range of topics such as differences between KKs and GKs under corporate law, labor and employment laws (dismissal regulations), real estate law, data privacy law, intellectual property, antitrust law, M&As, joint ventures, and renewable energy project financing, including details on the amended Renewable Energy Special Measures Act.

I have carefully written and reviewed these 13 articles to ensure consistency in style and substance, though I acknowledge there is room for improvement and intend to update them periodically.

Please note that the information provided here does not constitute specific legal advice. For individual legal issues, it is advisable to consult a lawyer or other professional. Additionally, the opinions expressed on this website are solely my own and do not reflect the views or endorsements of any affiliated law firm or organization.

Thank you for your support, and I look forward to assisting you through this platform.
