Experienced with workplace litigation issues and depositions: intellectual and digital property rights management issues, particularly with companies licensing technology to Japanese companies, or Japanese companies wishing to protect themselves against such litigation and/or protect their own intellectual property rights.

Additionally experience with employees vs. large company litigation experience provides additional valuable insight: Ex. Ensign vs. Fujitsu.

Career capabilities currently being applied in the following areas:

* Japanese-English court interpreting
* Workplace and human resources issues, digital and intellectual property, family, domestic and criminal.
* Publication of Labor Litigation Newsletter
* Publication of Court Interpreter News Newsletter
* Public Relations for clients awarded judgements against large companies.

My skills and experience span a broad range, virtually all universally applicable to developing and expanding a brick-and-mortar business with an online presence, domestically and internationally.

I am also an accomplished voice-over artist, and welcome narration projects in English-Might add value to your Japanese-English translation projects.

Your consideration is appreciated.
