Japanese Services
Japanese companies investing in the U.S. turn to Barnes & Thornburg for assistance with legal and business matters, and have for decades. We represent numerous Japanese-owned companies and advise them on a full range of legal issues, and also advise parent companies in Japan on U.S. legal matters. Many of our lawyers are native Japanese speakers, and understand the unique business environment and requirements.
Our experienced lawyers help companies seeking to do business anywhere in the U.S. We advise on government incentive negotiations; general corporate law; mergers and acquisitions; real estate and site selection; intellectual property registration and enforcement; employment law; litigation; and visa and immigration issues.
While many of our clients are in the automotive industry, we also help companies in other manufacturing sectors, such as medical device, electronics and biotech. We also advise on legal aspects of mergers and acquisitions, including R&D, supply chain, and manufacturing capabilities. Our legal professionals work with foreign business owners to ensure their business ventures comply with state and federal regulations and on obtaining financing.
