Have you ever experienced the following while working in the U.S.?

  • “When U.S. laws are explained in English, I don’t really understand.”
  • “I’m worried I might be acting based on Japanese workplace customs without knowing American employment laws.”
  • “I’m afraid of massive damage claims that often arise in U.S. lawsuits.”
  • “It’s hard to ask questions in large legal seminars.”

Understanding the legal and regulatory landscape in the U.S. is essential for avoiding unnecessary trouble and ensuring the success of business operations in America.

Join our small-group, welcoming seminar led by an attorney from our firm, and gain a better understanding of complex U.S. laws in Japanese.
