Tokyo Law Firm Sphere Partners with Oita Trinita for Business Tour

Tokyo's Sphere Law Firm is expanding its impact in the Asian investment landscape by collaborating with Oita Trinita to organize a unique business observation tour. This tour will take place from May 29 to June 1, 2025, in Oita Prefecture, Japan. The initiative targets Taiwanese investors based in Taichung and aims to foster cross-cultural and cross-border business relations.

The four-day, three-night event promises a comprehensive experience, featuring opportunities for participants to engage with local government officials, visit prominent companies in the region, and meet with innovative entrepreneurs from outside Oita. Part of the itinerary includes attending an Oita Trinita home game, blending sports with business networking.

Strengthening Connections for Local Revitalization

Sphere Law Firm, which was established in October 2022, has rapidly grown by serving Asian investors and Japanese companies engaged in overseas operations. Throughout its growth, the firm has encountered the challenges faced by local governments and businesses when dealing with foreign entities. These experiences have led to a concerted effort to bridge the gap and explore how they can contribute meaningfully to society.

Engaging with overseas companies necessitates identifying and securing reliable partners. Many businesses express concerns about navigating language barriers, ensuring trustworthiness, and effectively establishing contracts. Such apprehensions can hinder these newfound relationships.

Once prospective partners are identified, negotiations come into play. Companies often worry about unfavorable conditions being imposed, the reliability of contracts, and the potential for sustained business operations. These various uncertainties contribute to a pervasive sense of unease around international transactions.

To address these concerns, Sphere's representative attorney, Koichi Kobori, in collaboration with local financial institutions from Taichung, will personally conduct meetings with participating firms. This approach aims to facilitate the 'development,' 'negotiation,' and 'payment' processes with greater assurance, ultimately enabling long-term relationships and potential business expansions.

Sphere is enthusiastic about establishing business relationships that surpass mere friendship, engaging effectively with the local government, prominent companies within Oita, and entrepreneurs from outside the region.

A Vision for Ongoing Local Revitalization

Following this initial event, Sphere Law Firm plans to host additional collaborations between local government entities, regional businesses, professional sports teams, and international investors. These upcoming initiatives are aimed at further promoting local revitalization and economic growth.

Sphere Law Firm is committed not just to this singular tour but to a series of endeavors designed to foster a solid business ecosystem in Oita, equipped to attract and engage with foreign investment positively.
