Lowenstein Sandler is uniquely positioned to assist Japanese companies in establishing or expanding their presence in the United States. We understand the complexities of bridging the legal and cultural divides between countries, and we offer tailored guidance that aligns with Japanese business practices and decision-making frameworks.

Our comprehensive legal counsel spans transactional, regulatory, and litigation matters, enabling clients to navigate the U.S. legal landscape with confidence. By leveraging our deep understanding of Japanese business culture and extensive cross-border experience, we help companies achieve strategic goals while maintaining compliance with U.S. laws and regulations.

Our team collaborates across departments to guide Japanese companies and their U.S. subsidiaries through mergers and acquisitions (M&A), joint ventures, and venture capital investments. Our Global Trade & National Security practice helps clients manage trade risks, ensure regulatory compliance, and communicate effectively with legislators and policymakers. With decades of experience in such industries as financial services and fintech, life sciences, manufacturing, and electronics, we help global clients navigate rapidly changing trade regulations, economic sanctions, and the implications of emerging technologies like artificial intelligence (AI). We also provide counsel on compliance with OFAC sanctions, CFIUS reviews, and export and import regulations.

Lowenstein’s multidisciplinary approach means we address our clients’ concerns in a holistic manner, advising on such critical areas as intellectual property, tax, real estate, and employment law. We offer counsel on the antitrust implications of business practices, including distribution policies and pricing strategies, as well as representation in investigations and litigation involving price-fixing and bid-rigging claims. Additionally, we provide comprehensive real estate services, from property acquisitions and zoning to environmental due diligence and construction, ensuring long-term growth for our clients’ investments.

By combining legal acumen with a deep understanding of our clients’ industries, we empower Japanese companies to thrive in the competitive global economy.
