Lecture Title: "Myanmar Today as Seen by a Japanese Lawyer"

The speaker, who belongs to a major Japanese law firm and has experience working at a US law firm,

he will discuss his experiences, from the struggle of launching an office from a single rented desk to the daily challenges of dealing with
the differences in practice compared to Japan after the office was established. He will also share his thoughts
on how Japanese legal professionals can contribute.
