Japan
Overview
Japan is a key partner market where transactions and investments with Korean companies are active, and an understanding of the language, business practices, and decision-making structures is essential. Whether in transactions or disputes, the quality of "fact compilation – documentation – negotiation" determines success. The LIN Japan team maintains close working relationships with leading law firms in Japan, enabling it to provide organic and prompt legal advisory on legal matters in both Korea and Japan. The LIN Japan team supports both inbound work (Japanese companies entering Korea) and outbound work (Korean companies entering Japan). Combining Japanese-language communication with subject-matter expertise, we provide advice that works in practice from day one. By connecting contracts, regulations, and disputes organically, we present consistent solutions covering prevention, response, and recurrence prevention.
