Mr. Tanaka has involved in a number of dispute resolution cases, including disputes over several tens of billions yen, large class actions, disputes on complex product defects, injunctions on facilities essential to business, and cases that affect corporate reputation.
While it is of course important to lead lawsuits to appropriate resolution and to protect the legitimate interests of companies, in many cases, companies wish to resolve disputes that do not result in litigation. He will work to resolve disputes while building strategies both in- and out-of-court litigation that suit the company’s business activities and the actual state of incidents, including negotiations outside litigation.
In addition, in response to the legal issues that companies face on a daily basis, he supports corporate decision-making and business operations by presenting solutions with an understanding of the business activities and ways of doing business that are unique to each field, such as finance, electricity, gas and automobiles.
Before Mr. Tanaka joined Iwata Godo, he worked at a law office in Nagoya City for about eight years. Accordingly, he continues to provide legal services not only to companies in the Tokyo metropolitan area but also to many companies in the Tokai region.
