Tajima LLP’s role is California litigation and related commercial arbitration; qualified local counsel is engaged when separate advice or proceedings are required in another jurisdiction.Mr. Tajima has obtained multi-million-dollar arbitration awards and settlements, emergency and other injunctive relief, dismissals, and favorable trial and pretrial resolutions.
