International Transactions
and Services

The number of consultations on international transactions and the countries covered by our international practice have been increasing and diversifying year by year. We are recognizing that the impact of economic globalization is creating new business opportunities not only for the companies that have been actively seeking to expand their business overseas, but also for all companies.

At Spring Partners, attorneys with experience studying law abroad provide a wide range of legal services to both Japanese and foreign-affiliated companies, from consultation on international transactions to drafting contracts and resolving international disputes.

The cooperation of trusted overseas professionals is essential to responding to the ever-changing global business environment in an appropriate and timely manner.
