ADVANCE Corporate Law Seminar
Those involved in cross-border legal work have likely heard the terms “common law” and “civil law” at least once. You may also have come across remarks such as, “This contractual provision seems to be based on practices in common-law jurisdictions,” or discussions about dispute resolution procedures in common-law jurisdictions—such as disclosure/discovery and legal privilege.
However, in what respects does the civil law system, to which Japan belongs, differ from the common law system? How do these differences affect not only day-to-day legal work—such as contract drafting and negotiation—but also the formulation of legal strategy, and what kind of countermeasures should be taken, when a dispute arises, as well as the conduct of dispute resolution proceedings?
In this seminar, lawyers with extensive experience in dispute resolution practice in common law jurisdictions will provide a clear and practical explanation of the key differences between common law and civil law, how those differences influence legal practice, and knowhow on what kind of countermeasures should be taken, illustrated with concrete examples.
