The law firm of Goodsill Anderson Quinn & Stifel is a long-standing law firm in Hawaii that was established in 1878, and it provides legal services not only to businesses but to individual investors. Attorney Alan S. Fujimoto, who has assisted various Japanese companies in their transactions, discussed some points of interest with us.
...
Mr. Fujimoto says “In Japan, the traditional thinking has been that you talk to an attorney when a problem occurs. In the United States, the general practice is to involve an attorney from the time you begin discussing a contract.†Contracts are important in the consummation of a transaction in the United States. In the case of a commercial transaction, from the time you negotiate a contract until the transaction is consummated, you may need several documents extending to hundreds of pages.

In the 1990s there was a large outflow from Hawaii of Japanese capital, but in recent years investment from Japan into Hawaii is on the rise again. It is expected that this trend will continue in the near term. Particularly in the real estate area, Mr. Fujimoto is currently receiving as many as 4 to 5 inquiries per month. He says, “For individuals wishing to acquire residential real property in Hawaii, such transactions are mostly handled by real estate brokers alone, so we are generally not involved in such negotiations.
...
Mr. Alan S. Fujimoto is a third generation Japanese-American, but he grew up in Yokohama, Japan. In the negotiation of complicated contracts involving international transactions, his understanding of Japanese customs as a U.S. attorney becomes most precious. “In real estate transactions, we often come across Japanese who want to record on a lucky day under the Japanese calendar,†says Mr. Fujimoto who displays an appreciation of the peculiarities of the Japanese.

Hawaii is familiar to the Japanese. Even then, it is a foreign land. Mr. Alan S. Fujimoto of Goodsill Anderson Quinn & Stifel, who is well-experienced in various legal fields such as residential real estate, commercial real estate, general business and U.S. visa applications, is a strong ally for Japanese investors who are looking to venture into Hawaii.
