We have handled a wide range of disputes, including disputes over the interpretation of various contracts and transaction problems (including overseas transactions), disputes in M&A transactions, disputes between funds and investors, disputes over claims for damages based on defamation by slanderers (including the identification of the senders and removal of the posts involved in such disputes).
In addition to guiding clients to successful litigation results and favorable settlements, we have also actively provided legal advice leading to practical dispute resolutions based on the specific needs of clients. -
Financial Disputes
Based on our experience in providing legal advice on a wide range of finance-related laws and regulations, including the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, and the practical experience of our attorneys at financial institutions and the Financial Services Agency, we provide appropriate support in court, as well as using the financial ADR process, to resolve disputes related to financial transactions and financial products, which have become increasingly complex and diverse in recent years.

On the other hand, we also have experience representing administrative agencies in administrative disputes. -
