Cross Border Dispute Resolution Seminar

How do Japanese companies become defendants in US lawsuits?  The answer is “Jurisdiction.”  Jurisdiction means that a US court thinks it has the power to give orders to a Japanese company.  During the seminar, the speakers will explore this basic concept, which is one of the most important issues Japanese companies encounter while doing business in the current globalized market.  The discussion will focus on introducing the recent US court decisions and practical tips.  At the first session, the speakers will address how Japanese companies can become subject to US jurisdiction and how Japanese companies can contest US jurisdiction.  Then, in the second session, they will address how to limit the risk that a Japanese company will be subject to US jurisdiction and US discovery and what to do when a Japanese company is sued in a US court.
