Written and compiled by the founding partner of a leading Tokyo law firm and four American scholars of Asian law, this casebook focuses on the important field of Japanese business law. It promises to be of use both for teachers and for legal practitioners, as well as others who wish to learn more about this important field. Introductory chapters explore Japan's legal and business environment; subsequent chapters examine such topics as administrative guidance, choice of investment firm, foreign investment regulation, negotiating and drafting, corporate law, tax, intellectual property, antitrust, dispute resolution, and mergers and acquisitions. To focus discussion and place the materials in a true business context, sections in each chapter trace a hypothetical US-Japan joint venture (derived from actual cases) from initial contacts through formation, dispute and renegotiation, and dissolution. Appendices contain all basic documents for this hypothetical joint venture and all key statutes.
