H & H Lawyers hosted a seminar in collaboration with the Australia-Japan Society of NSW Inc. (AJS-NSW)

On 17 April 2024, H & H Lawyers hosted a seminar on the topic "Japan/Australia Cross-border Employment – Legal Issues for a Mobile Workforce" in collaboration with the Australia-Japan Society of NSW Inc. (AJS-NSW). Our Tin-Lok Shea and Ueda Daisuke, and Ken Takahashi of Kensei Law Office (Kyoto), gave presentations addressing some of the legal pitfalls arising from cross-border employment between Australia and Japan.

It was particularly enlightening having Mr Takahashi provide his insights as Japan qualified lawyer ("bengoshi"). The seminar was well-attended by AJS members and generated plenty of discussions afterwards during a networking session over cheese and wine (handpicked by our very own sommelier, Ueda Daisuke).

Since 1996, we have been advising many Australian and Japanese companies in relation to their inbound and outbound cross-border transactions across a wide range of industry and business sectors such as property, retail, biomedical, construction, energy, financial services, education, franchise, hospitality, mining and manufacturing.
