Our International Trade Group is experienced in handling issues relating to free-trade agreements (FTAs), economic partnership agreements (EPAs), including the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), investment agreements, and other bilateral and multilateral agreements to enhance broader economic relationships and promote free trade. Companies can take advantage of these benefits by, for example, reducing the amount of customs duties.
In response to such economic globalization and internationalization, our International Trade Group has extensive experience in advising Japanese and foreign companies involved in imports and exports on a wide range of issues such as customs, rules of origin, and procedures required by economic partnership agreements, both under domestic law and international trade rules. We provide high quality legal services tailored to the needs of our corporate and government clients through our solid insights backed by our experience in advising Japanese and foreign companies on a wide range of issues, including tariffs, rules of origin, and procedures required under economic partnership agreements, as well as domestic and international trade regulations.
Our recent engagements include advising the European Commission on Japanese law in relation to the Japan-Europe EPA negotiations.
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.
