Profile
Naoto focuses on supporting Japanese companies expanding overseas, with an emphasis on Southeast Asia. His work covers establishing local subsidiaries, negotiating joint venture agreements, and the employment and licensing questions that actually arise once operations begin.
He works in Chinese as well as Japanese, which lets him engage local counsel directly rather than through translation.
