Junichi Ikeda

Commercial, construction and international disputes are central to Junichi's mediation practice. He regularly assists multinational businesses, manufacturers, investors, infrastructure companies, financial institutions and public sector organisations in resolving disputes involving commercial contracts, construction projects, shareholder relationships, mergers and acquisitions, product liability, investments, distributorships and international trade.

Alongside his mediation practice, Junichi is a partner at Nagashima Ohno & Tsunematsu, one of Japan's leading law firms, where he advises clients on some of the country's most significant commercial disputes, international arbitrations and cross-border litigation. His earlier career as a district court judge provides valuable insight into judicial settlement processes, litigation risk and effective dispute resolution, while his transactional practice enables him to understand the commercial objectives that underpin complex negotiations.

His dispute resolution experience includes international supply chain disputes, construction and engineering projects, infrastructure and energy matters, mergers and acquisitions, shareholder and joint venture conflicts, product liability claims, distributorship disputes, banking and investment matters, commercial property transactions and complex cross-border commercial litigation. He is particularly experienced in disputes involving Japanese businesses, international stakeholders, multi-jurisdictional issues and technically complex commercial projects.

Clients value Junichi's pragmatic, disciplined and commercially focused approach. Drawing on his judicial and transactional experience, he helps parties move beyond legal positions to understand commercial interests, evaluate litigation risk realistically and develop practical settlement frameworks that support durable, long-term outcomes.
