About

Foreign language skills: I am the equivalent of native speaker/reader in Japanese. I also have document review experience in many other languages, including Chinese, Russian, German, Korean, Dutch, Portuguese, and Spanish. I am always willing to help on special projects like translation. (I love translation, so my turn-around time is excellent.) I also worked on Japanese to Chinese (and German to Chinese) translation quality checking, as well as translating Japanese and Chinese contracts. Professional experience: My highlights include having worked in-house at Nintendo HQ in Kyoto, Japan, and DIC Corporation HQ (world's biggest ink company) in Tokyo, Japan, as well as on many global legal review cases, with my longest experience being in the automotive industry. My experience has been very broad, both across industries (e.g. chemicals, finance, electronics, automotive, video games, gambling) and legal fields (e.g., anti-trust, contracts, data protection, anti-corruption, child protection, economic regulation, M&A, trademark).
