Davis Wright Tremaine represents Japanese businesses engaged in banking, real estate investment, fishing and high technology operations in the United States. Clients include two of the largest fishing enterprises in Japan and many other fishing entities forming joint ventures with the U.S. fishing industry. Our real estate practice group helps investment and development companies seeking to locate, acquire and construct major office and retail centers. We also counsel Japanese computer software and high technology companies, a growing presence on the West Coast.

In consultation with attorneys from Japan, DWT can provide a variety of legal services to U.S. companies with offices in Japan or those working to gain a foothold in Japan. We work with many of our U.S. based clients to establish joint venture operations and distributorships in Japan. In addition to Japanese-speaking American staff, we have a visiting lawyer from Japan as part of our foreign lawyer program.
