Pre-screen analysis
- Direct match — opposing party: K&W previously advised Hayashi-Watanabe Robotics K.K. (JP) in 2023 on an unrelated employment-law matter (Matter ID JP-2023-0421, closed Sep 2023). Engagement letter expressly limited to that matter; no ongoing retainer.
- No active matters with Hayashi-Watanabe currently open at any K&W office. Last billable touchpoint: October 2023.
- NeoCoder Inc. (US) is a new client to the firm. No prior matters, no related entities flagged. Cap-table cross-check against K&W LP database: no overlap.
- Recommended posture: standard advance waiver from Hayashi-Watanabe sufficient. Wall not required given matter unrelatedness and 18+ month dormancy. Subject to partner confirmation.
Bu Er rates · Medium risk — proceed with documented waiver. Recommend confirming with Tokyo partner before instruction.
