John R. Fornaciari, Partner

One of the best lawyers in the United States who has been involved in large-scale commercial proceedings, antitrust cases, and white-collar defense for many years. He has been involved in a number of major cases in the US Department of Justice Antitrust, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and corporate M & A, and has been successful. He has defended numerous companies not only in antitrust cases, but also in RICO, fraud, freeze-out mergers, defaults, conspiracies, mail and wire fraud and FCPA cases. He also defends many companies in cartel cases in the US and EU. He has been selected as an excellent lawyer by evaluation agencies such as "Super Lawyer," "Legal 500 United States," and "Martindale-Hubbell."

In an antitrust case involving a Japanese company, he also served as counsel for shipping giant Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK). The amount of surcharge the company received from the Japan Fair Trade Commission (approximately 131 billion yen) exceeded the fine imposed in the United States ($5,940 million, approximately 2014 billion yen as of 69), making this the first large-scale case in which the amount of fines in the United States and Japan were reversed. Furthermore, in the civil proceedings of Nippon Yusen following the detective, the court has quickly won a dismissal decision. Attorney Fornaciari has represented NYK and its group companies, as well as Japanese auto parts manufacturers who were frustrated with endless civil litigation, and has successfully resolved numerous class action and opt-out cases for Japanese companies with minimal settlements. He is a "truly talented attorney" who has made great achievements for Japanese companies. .
