I had a lot of fun talking openly with Lydia Beukelman on the Busines Success Japan podcast, about the big-picture differences between law in Japan versus many western countries, what it takes to start a business and find success as an entrepreneur in Japan,and how to I try to maintain curiosity no matter how long I stay here and what crosses my path (like a pandemic!) and why that is important. Listen to hear the insights!

A deep dive into the world of entrepreneurship in Japan was recently undertaken in a wonderfully-written article in the American Chamber of Commerce in Japan I was interviewed as part of this article to give my first hand experience of setting up my law firm business in Japan

Jane Singer had me as a guest on her podcast “A Seat At The Table.” I talked about how to help clients - from the vantage point of a lawyer - sell into Japan when they are not really sure how to do it.

I am delighted to be shortlisted in the Jurisdiction (Japan) category of the Women in Business Law (Asia) Awards 2021!
