About the speaker:
Mr Akira Taguchi graduated from the University of Tokyo’s College of Arts and Sciences and after graduation worked in the Legal Department of Chiyoda Corporation, where he worked primarily on contracts and legal matters, such as domestic and overseas construction subcontracting agreements and licensing agreements. While with Chiyoda Corporation, Mr Taguchi studied abroad at Duke University’s School of Law in North Carolina, U.S.A., and after completing a 3-year Juris Doctor degree there, he passed the bar and was admitted to practice in both New York and Massachusetts. Mr Taguchi later worked at Motorola Japan as Manager of the Legal Department and then in 1997 incorporated Kai Corporation (http://www.kaicorp.com/), which is mainly engaged in legal translation (both J-to-E and E-to-J).
This presentation will be made in Japanese, but Mr. Taguchi will be happy to take and answer questions in either language.
