ADAM NEWHOUSE of Tokyo, Japan, understands firsthand the challenge of being a global lawyer in the digital age. In his 25 years of commercial litigation and transactional experience in the United States and Japan, Newhouse has seen the good, the bad, and the wrongheaded at law firms large and small. He has served as deputy general counsel for one of Japan's largest trading houses and develops global legal strategies for multinationals operating within widely divergent regulatory environments. His rare nexus of skills and perspectives has led to some unusual missions--co-authoring a treatise on the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG), for example. Newhouse is a graduate of Cornell Law School and NYU School of Law (LL.M. in Taxation). He is licensed by the State Bar of California and is a licensed foreign member of the Dai-ni Tokyo Bar Association. Practicing what he preaches, Newhouse is committed to leading his profession forward. He can be reached at [email protected]. See less
