The Legal Services & IP Committee monitors legal and regulatory changes, legislative initiatives, and other issues related to the practice of law, as well as intellectual property (IP) affecting the foreign business community in Japan. It also provides input to the US and Japanese governments on legal and IP matters and actively pursues liberalization of the rules restricting the activities of foreign lawyers in Japan and the Japanese lawyers engaged in practice with them. The committee holds seminars and workshops on topics related to the law as well as IP, often hosting US and Japanese government officials.
