He specializes in competition law, including defense against agency investigations into cartel, bid-rigging and unfair unilateral conduct, antitrust litigations and merger control, with special expertise in issues involving information technologies and intellectual property rights, based on his practical insight gained from first-hand experiences of handling leading cases in the Japan Fair Trade Commission (JFTC).

During his tenure, he was a lead case-handler in the Intellectual Property Task Force at the investigation bureau, dealing with investigations and litigations against IT major companies over cutting-edge cases. Moreover, he also acted as a chief investigator responsible for investigating on a wide range of infringement cases such as cartel, bid-rigging and unfair unilateral conduct, conducting dawn raids over more than a dozen cases, and also representing the JFTC before the Tokyo district court and administrative hearings. Before serving for the Japanese agency, he practiced with Blakemore & Mitsuki as a senior associate, advising mainly on competition law issues to clients, such as a patent pool company and major IT companies, and dealing with merger control and litigations.
