Robots, AI, and Autonomous Vehicles

Advising on how the law applies to robots, AI, and autonomous vehicles not only requires an understanding of cutting-edge technologies but also an appreciation of how laws prepared for a different age can be applied to our fast-moving world. Lawyers in our team have been involved in the development of various guidelines in this area, and advise on issues such as:

• Data protection
• IP protection and licensing
• IP disputes
• Compliance

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.
