Canada

While recognizing the close historical, geographical and economic relationship between the Canadian and US markets as part of the North America economy, we at Anderson Mori & Tomotsune see Canada as a unique business environment requiring tailored legal services from professionals experienced in that market specifically. Over decades, AMT has developed a deep body of knowledge and experience of the needs of Canadian companies of all sizes doing business with Japan and Japanese companies in or entering the Canadian market. AMT has grown its Canadian practice externally through long-standing relationships with Canadian law firms, and organically by having Canadian qualified lawyers in Japan who are experienced in both the Canadian and Japanese markets and Japanese lawyers who have worked in major Canadian law firms. This experience and firm infrastructure provide unparalleled legal support to our clients doing business in the Japan / Canada space. Whether you are a Japanese company doing business with Canada or a Canadian company with needs in Japan, AMT is a one-stop provider of legal services on both in-bound and out-bound transactions of all kinds including corporate /M&A, commercial transactions, real estate, finance, capital markets, the establishment of business tie-ups such as joint ventures and alliances, as well as related advice in specialty areas of the law such as labor and employment, licensing arrangements and IT law generally.
