Arbitration, Conciliation, and Other ADR (Domestic)

Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) procedures in various forms have become increasingly popular in Japan for settling commercial disputes, partly due to a cultural aversion to formal litigation. Our litigation team has extensive experience in informal mediation and in representing clients before mediation and arbitration organizations in Japan, including:

Japan Commercial Arbitration Association (JCAA)
International Chamber of Commerce (ICC)
Financial Instruments Mediation Assistance Center
Building Dispute Resolution Committee
Center for Housing Renovation and Dispute Settlement Support
Labor Dispute Coordination Committee

When advising foreign clients, our firm can field a team of expert Japanese lawyers and foreign lawyers who have relevant experience and bi-cultural sensitivity. Our team can do business and draft documents in Japanese, English, German, Mandarin, Hindi, Korean, and Marathi, and provides services around the clock through our global affiliated offices.
