Drafting, Translation, Legal Review and Negotiation regarding Contracts Governed by Japanese Laws or Written in Japanese
Many international companies have sought business opportunities in the Japanese market and the number of occasions where contracts with Japanese business partners need to be executed has been increasing. While such contracts vary from complex investment agreements to straightforward employment agreements, they are governed by the laws of Japan in many cases. Also, there are cases where international start-up companies are requested by Japanese business partners to enter into a contract that is written only in Japanese. In those situations, the contracts that were executed without proper legal advice face higher risks of future disputes with the Japanese business partners. Ikuta Sogo Legal Office is able to provide international businesses with legal services including drafting, translation, legal review and negotiation regarding such contracts.
