Elizabeth P. Shoemaker is Of Counsel to Miura & Partners US, where she handles litigation and transactional matters.
In addition to having received her J.D. from UCLA School of Law, Ms. Shoemaker has spent 10 years working in the corporate world in Japan, so she is familiar with both Japanese and US business practices. She can speak and read Japanese, and she understands the challenges of cross-border agreements.
Having run small businesses in Japan and the US before becoming an attorney, she also understands very well which aspects of law are confusing to most business people and can explain to her current clients the things she wished she had known when she was running her own business.
With regard to commercial litigation, Ms. Shoemaker has handled many types of cases, including breach of contract, employment law, fraud, commercial real estate, and regulatory issues. The combination of an understanding of litigation, knowing how things play out in court, and knowing how products get developed within business teams provides a good perspective when reviewing or drafting transactional documents such as contracts, statements of work, handbooks, and marketing material.
