Akiko Araki shows us that in addition to big law there is another way to do law in Japan. Your way.

Akiko is the founder and Managing Partner of Araki International IP & Law. We follow her career from her first inspiration to be a lawyer to cleverly setting up her own practice when she transitioned into studying IP law.

If you enjoyed this episode and it inspired you in some way, we’d love to hear about it and know your biggest takeaway. Head over to Apple Podcasts to leave a review and we’d love it if you would leave us a message here!

In this episode you’ll hear:

  • Akiko’s inspiration for becoming a lawyer when she was young
  • How she learned to be an associate who practices effective rather than perfect work
  • Finding her niche in the area of IP law and deciding to register her own law firm name early on
  • What it’s really like to run your own law firm
  • Her favourite book and other fun facts
