United Kingdom

The United Kingdom has always been a prominent figure on the global scale, and is also now attracting more attention for its relationship with the European Unionfollowing BREXIT. As a major Western country, the United Kingdom has historically maintained close economic ties with Japan, being a primary destination for Japanese companies. This relationship has fostered a large and continuous volume of business transactions, but also given rise to many business-related disputes and legal risks. It is also a European country that has in place a very strict system in which the burden of legal fees in a dispute is borne by the party who loses the dispute. This, along with the fact that the legal profession is distinguished between barristers and solicitors, means that legal fees tend to be higher. For this reason, cost control is vital and the involvement of attorneys who are accustomed to working with local law firms is essential.
