We’re a business law firm, and more.

We are Affiliate Counsel to Bergeson, LLP. Visit us at our new site.

Mark Foster Law is headquartered in Silicon Valley with our Affiliate Counsel, Bergeson LLP, maintaining affiliates in Tokyo and Washington, D.C. Since our founding in Tokyo, we’ve represented businesses of every size in transactions and ventures on every continent. And we’ve represented governments, venture capitalists, industry associations and business-government consortia as well.

Our success speaks for itself: An extraordinary track record successfully representing businesses of every size, as well as entrepreneurs, industry associations and governments, internationally and domestically, in the U.S. and throughout the Americas, in Japan, Europe, in the Middle East, throughout the Asia Pacific region and in Africa.

We’ve broken new ground in lobbying in Japan and elsewhere for American commercial interests. We’ve successfully challenged both tariff and non-tariff barriers to world trade. We’ve overcome closed, government-monopolized, technical standards and regulatory compliance systems and created new commercial opportunities for our clients worldwide.

We welcome you to our firm’s web site.
