Jurisdiction: Japan

Legal agent skills for Japan

Japan operates a civil-law system rooted in codified statutes — the Civil Code, the Companies Act, and the Code of Civil Procedure among them — administered through a court hierarchy that runs from district courts up to the Supreme Court in Tokyo, with specialist intellectual property and administrative divisions handling an increasingly complex caseload. Practitioners working under Japanese law face a distinctive combination of dense regulatory frameworks, evolving corporate governance requirements, and cross-border pressures from inbound and outbound investment alike. The agent-ready legal skills assembled for Japan in the ThomasMore catalog address that full range, spanning M&A, employment, data protection under the Act on the Protection of Personal Information, real estate, dispute resolution, finance, and competition matters.

Each skill is a reusable capability your AI agent runs for a specific Japanese legal task — drafting a shareholders resolution, mapping notification thresholds under the Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Act, or assembling a compliance checklist for a Tokyo-listed entity — accessible over MCP or available as a direct download. The ThomasMore catalog organises these skills by practice area so you can move quickly from a general Japanese law question to the precise transactional or regulatory context your matter requires. Authors maintain the skills as legislation and Financial Services Agency guidance develop, keeping the collection current rather than static. Filter by practice area, license, or author to locate the capability that fits your instruction today.
